Just came across this in an interview in a German drum magazine (Sticks).
Apparently, Tico Torres of Bon Jovi played with Miles Davis. In case you are as surprised as me (some of you probably knew this all along, but I'm not such a Davis fan, so ...), here are the facts: Torres, who then called himself Cosmo Jones, was a member of King Curtis, together with Willie Bridges (saxophone), an old friend, and when King Curtis died, Miles Davis took over the band, including the drummer ... today Tico Torres. According to the interview, they got along well together and Torres is still close with Davis' kids today.
On top of that, Torres' mentor and drum teacher was Joe Morello. As it happens, Torres was able to fix Morello's roof one day and in return, Morello gave him lessons whenever he wasn't on tour. Another substantial influence seems to have been Elvin Jones, who Torres saw many times, especially keeping an eye on the interplay between Jones and Howard Tiner (keb. & sax).
Strange, but listening to Bon Jovi, I can't hear any of that history.
Cheers!
