Davis Miles
Miles Davis, Miles Dewey Davis III, född 26 maj 1926 i Alton, Illinois, död 28 september 1991 i Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Kalifornien, var en amerikansk jazzmusiker och kompositör.
Davis var son till tandläkaren Miles Dewey Davis Jr och musikläraren Cleota Mae och växte upp i St. Louis, Missouri. Modern ville att den unge Miles skulle börja spela fiol, men fadern gav honom en trumpet när han var i tolv-trettonårsåldern. När han var sexton började han få sporadiska spelningar även utanför St. Louis, och vid arton års ålder fick han tillfälle att spela med några av bebop-genrens förgrundsfigurer som Dizzy Gillespie och Charlie Parker, vilket ledde till att han flyttade till New York. Där studerade han vid Julliard, samtidigt som han försökte etablera sig på jazzklubbarna och fick åter kontakt med Parker, varefter alla planer på vidare akademisk utbildning lades på hyllan.
Miles Davis var en av 1900-talets allra största musiker och stilbildare. Han började sin bana hos Charlie Parker under bebopens storhetstid och spelade sen en avgörande roll både för utvecklingen av 50-talets kammarmusikaliska jazz, modal jazz (till exempel albumet Kind of Blue 1959) och för jazzrocken och fusionvågen under det tidiga 70-talet. Han hade även ett mycket uppmärksammat samarbete med storbandsledaren Gil Evans i slutet av femtiotalet. Ytterst få jazzmusiker har väckt så mycket respekt och intresse utanför jazzen som han.
Miles Davis ledde från 1949 och framåt en imponerande mängd grupper med olika konstellationer och medlemmar och kan sägas ha upptäckt många betydelsefulla musiker och stilbildare. Två av hans grupper står ut som klara milstolpar i jazzhistorien, de så kallade "superkvintetterna".

Complete concert 1964 2 CD
This recording is one of the best jazz recordings of all time and also some of Miles's best trumpet work. He exhibits great tone, range, technique and improvisation. Miles is so intense on this whole recording, nailing passage after passage. As Miles mentioned in his book, they completely tore the roof off of the place. A great supporting group as well, George Coleman on tenor saxophone, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums. The interplay between Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and the uncanny Tony Williams is just breath-taking and hints very clearly at the new directions in which they and Miles would take the small jazz ensemble for the next several years

In concert 1972 2 CD
'In Concert' is a live double recorded in 1972 at the Philharmonic Hall in New York City. This album brings the funk from the outstanding studio sessions that brought 'On The Corner', with a taste of the sonic boom captured in 'Agharta' and 'Pangaea'. "Rated X" kicks off the album starting from a rhythmic babble to a swelling wave of funk, until Mike Henderson enters in the middle of Miles's wah-wah trumpet solo. Throughout the concert its Mtume's congo's, Badal Roy's tabla's and Khalil Balakrishna's sitar that make this album a spicey world music gumbo, another brew that Miles masterfully stirs with his trumpet.

Four & more - Live 1964 CD
Recorded on the same night as the more balladic 'My Funny Valentine', February 12, 1964 in New York City, 'Four & More' is the exhilarating and upbeat part of this live performance. Performed at a sold out concert, 'Four & More' was spurred consistently by the rhythm section of pianist Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter on bass and especially by the cross percussion beat of drummer genius Tony Williams. Session saxophonist George Coleman, known as The Memphis Monster, even lends his tenor saxophone solos as he plays better as he did during his brief stay with Miles' band in the early-1960's. Completely remastered and remixed in its complete and original format 'Four & More' has never sounded more vibrant.

Star people 1983 CD
On this 1983 release, Miles Davis rediscovers the blues. Beside the members of the band from the "We Want Miles" album, the recordings feature John Scofield, Marcus Miller and Tom Barney. Al Foster and Mino Cinelu are heard on drums and percussion. Miles Davis plays trumpet and Oberheim synthesizer often at the same time (without using overdubs), and also on separately recorded interludes for the over-18-minute-long blues "Star People".
