The Dead did classics in the vein of Woodie Guthrie and Leadbelly and infused them with complex arrangements which could approach Coltrane or Miles Davis-esque.

Yeh, the dead were pretty cool. Their concerts were definitely a thing. But the dead were not Trane or Bird or even Miles. There is cool.
Best concert I ever saw was a Keith Jarrett concert. He is the true inheritor of the legacy.
