One of the greatest pioneers in jazz
Trumpeter, bandleader, and composer Miles Davis.
Throughout a career that spanned five decades, Miles shaped the course of modern improvisational music. In his early years, he collaborated with some of the founding fathers of bebop, such as Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk and Dizzy Gillespie. His 1959 album Kind Of Blue is essential, while other records, such as 1970’s Bitches Brew, helped birth the fusion genre.
