An Artist you admire: Miles Davis


Miles Davis was an American jazz musician, trumpeter, bandleader, and composer. He is considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Miles Davis was, together with his musical groups, at the forefront of several major developments in jazz music, including bebop, cool jazz, hard bop, modal jazz, and jazz fusion. Also, in the beginning his musical major play whit the Parker's quintet, from this moment Miles show the own style. This style matured in the disc "The Birth of cool" in 1948, where in addition founded the "cool jazz". By 1953, his drug addiction began to impair his playing ability. But in 1954 Davis is recovered from his addiction. The begins play with John Coltrane and he explored in the "hardbop" style. But in 1959, Miles Davis succeeded in establishing himself as a successful musician with the creation the disk "Kind of Blue". The trumpet solo on the song "So What" is amazing, changed the history of jazz. I admire  Miles Davis because in his life by different jazz style but his style never changed its originality. I leave you with this beautiful theme.
