IMO its not Miles Davis that deserves all that credit but Duke Ellington.

No one person deserves the credit. Duke was groundbreaking, but even without him there would have still been Billy Strayhorn and Charles Mingus and Thad Jones pushing the same boundaries of group writing and harmony, to name just a few.
