  • On the subject of Miles as a musician, was he really all that? Sure, he only played with some of the greatest jazz musicians of all time (including himself, as Miles would tell you!), created some great records in multiple genres, and looked incredibly stylish whilst doing it. But so many trumpeters are miles beyond what Davis was capable of (and have nicer suits) and he'd get blown off the stand these days, or at least get ignored...and who listens to Miles (Davis) for his playing alone? Case in point: I bet you're reading this article to find out more about Trane or Bird, and not just Miles (Davis) himself! Gotcha!
  • Miles Davis (1926-1991) is a trumpeter, one of the most famous Jazz musicians to have ever lived. It's impossible to do justice to his long and innovative career, so we're going to try to sum up the highlights. To Make a Long Story Short: he started as a bebop musician playing trumpet with Charlie Parker, before ending up at the forefront of almost every major development in jazz after The Forties, helping pioneer subgenres such as cool jazz, modal jazz, jazz fusion and jazz-rock, and by his death he had become one of the most influential and innovative musicians of the 20th century. Basically he is sort of the Nirvana of jazz: everybody gets into him at a given moment.
