Miles Davis

May 26, 1926 – September 28, 1991

Miles Davis was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, and composer who profoundly influenced 20th-century music. He stood at the forefront of nearly every major development in jazz, from bebop and cool jazz to modal jazz and jazz fusion. His greatest achievement was not just his own distinctive instrumental style, but his unparalleled ability to shape entire musical movements through the musicians he led, many of whom became legends in their own right.
