The king of jazz left a legacy we should all know about especially as some of his work is entrenched in some of the dominant genres of the present musical era. Director: Stanley NelsonI was born the year the cool died. In 1991 the world lost one of the most iconic jazzmen to ever touch a trumpet, Miles Davis.
People such as Carlos Santana, Herbie Hancock and Gil Evans, as well as some of his family, his nephew Vince Wilburn Jr, his son Erin Davis and daughter Cheryl Davis. But this isn’t the case. Davis was born to the second-wealthiest man in Illinois, which might account for his taste in cars and fashion. His father was both a dentist and a farmer.
A highlight is when Davis is shown deciding to switch his sound to an electric one so as to move with the sound of the 70s that was dominated by rock’n’roll and funk.
