Miles Davis

About Miles Davis Miles Davis was born on May 26, 1926 in Alton Illinois. He had very many talents with music. He was a trumpeter, bandleader, and a composer. He enjoyed music a lot. He traveled to New York City to go to a Julliard school to become better with music and to study it. After he was finished with school he went to play with some of his friends that played jazz and played as jazz musicians. He played with Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and John Cotrane. Then Miles Davis made his early mark as a bebop musician. After bebop he created a new style known as cool. He made it his own. The only reason why he made it this far is because his family pushed him to go to Julliard School so he could do his music. Miles Davis was one of the greatest visionaries and most important figures in jazz history. In the early 1970’s Miles kept experimented with electric instruments and fusing more funk into his music. In 1976 a combination of bad health, cocaine, and lack of inspiration caused Miles Davis to go into 5-years retirement. Then Miles Davis died in 1991. Some of his albums are Birth of the cool, and Kind of Blue.
