Miles Davis
modal jazz cool jazz bebop fusion post-bop
Influences: Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk
Miles Davis transformed jazz through five decades by mastering bebop, cool jazz, modal improvisation, and electric fusion. This centenary celebration traces his evolution from the minimalist impressionism of Kind of Blue to the polyrhythmic intensity of Bitches Brew, the twin peaks that proved jazz could be both lyrical and revolutionary. A true innovator who refused to repeat himself, Davis shaped modern music across the entire spectrum of human listening.
