Three of them were Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, and Chick Corea. Bill Evans first worked with Miles in 1958, but he left to pursue his trio concepts, returning for the recording of Kind of Blue in 1959 along with John Coltrane on tenor sax, Cannonball Adderley on alto sax, Jimmy Cobb on drums, and Paul Chambers on bass. Afterward he went on to redefine the structure of jazz trios, with the piano, bass, and drums improvising equally together in many albums, including Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby. He received 31 Grammy nominations and seven awards, and was inducted into the DownBeat Jazz Hall of Fame. Bill died in 1980 at age 51. In 1963, Herbie Hancock joined Miles along with Ron Carter on bass, Tony Williams on drums, and Wayne Shorter on saxes. While the group recorded many noteworthy albums, such as E.S.P., Miles Smiles, Sorcerer, and Nefertiti, Herbie recorded a series of albums with his groups, including Takin' Off, Empyrean Isles, Maiden Voyage, and Speak Like a Child. He has won an Academy Award and 14 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year for his 2007 Joni Mitchell tribute album River: The Joni Letters. Herbie is 84 and still performs in various projects. Chick Corea joined Miles in 1968 and appeared on the recordings Filles de Kilimanjaro, In a Silent Way, and Bitches Brew. Chick went on to form the group Return to Forever, first with Flora Purim on vocals, Joe Farrell on flute and soprano saxophone, Airto Moreira on drums, and Stanley Clarke on bass, on the albums Return to Forever and Light As a Feather. He continued with many jazz and classical music projects. He won 27 Grammy Awards and was nominated 72 times for the award. He died in 2021 at age 79.
