	Miles Davis, romantic hero. - By Stanley Crouch - Slate Magazine
		Davis became a matinee idol in the mid-1950s when dark-skinned men were beginning to break through the barriers that kept them from being seen in romantic roles or thought of as superb interpreters of love songs.
		Miles Davis, however, tamed those savage surroundings and made it clear that if he didn't feel respected or comfortable he would leave and the paying customers could have it out with the club owners.
		Little, dark, touchy, even evil, Miles Davis walked onto his bandstand and made public visions of tenderness that were, finally, absolute rejections of everything silly about the version of masculinity that might hobble men in either the white or the fl world.

	Miles Davis - Music Downloads - Online
		Davis was the son of a dental surgeon, Dr. Miles Dewey Davis, Jr., and a music teacher, Cleota Mae (Henry) Davis, and thus grew up in the fl middle class of east St. Louis after the family moved there shortly after his birth.
		Davis, meanwhile, had moved on to co-leading a band with pianist Tadd Dameron in 1949, and the group took him out of the country for an appearance at the Paris Jazz Festival in May. But the trumpeter's progress was impeded by an addiction to heroin that plagued him in the early '50s.
		Miles Davis took an all-inclusive, constantly restless approach to jazz that had begun to fall out of favor by the time of his death, even as it earned him controversy during his lifetime.

	Miles Davis- The Electric Years- Perfect Sound Forever
		Miles was occasionally criticized from this point on for deserting jazz, and for "losing the beauty which had been present in his music".
		Miles was not going to be "the next big thing" commercially, was not going to outsell the ranks of white boys playing electrified blues guitar which is what a lot of people were into at the time.
		Miles’ staffed his next working band with musicians whose backgrounds were in the kind of funky music that Miles wanted to be working with, rather than in a jazz tradition.

	PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Selected Artist Biography - Miles Davis
		In 1949 Davis performed with Sonny Rollins and Art Blakey, and with Tadd Dameron, until heroin addiction interrupted his public career intermittently from mid-1949 to 1953.
		For years Davis, who trained as a boxer, had always been physically equal to the exertions of playing jazz trumpet; however, in the mid-1970s serious ailments and the effects of an automobile accident obliged him to retire.
		In the 1980s Davis was described as a "living legend," a title he detested because it went against his continuing inclination to be associated with new popular music and energetic youthful activities, but one that was nonetheless accurate, reflecting his position as the former partner of both Parker and Coltrane.

	Miles Davis
		Davis was at the center of almost every movement in modern jazz (he skipped "free jazz"): early be-bop (he played with Charlie Parker in 1945); the "cool" sound; hard bop; orchestral experimentation; the "modal revolution"; fusion.
		Miles goes electric - piano and bass - with a bunch of really long songs, and it's hit or miss: he said in his autobiography that the Quintet's work had gotten too abstract, and that he wanted to get back to the basics of the blues.
		Miles is rarely what you get on this live double LP (he does play nearly all the way through "Back Street Betty," but doesn't find much to say).

	Miles Davis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Miles Dewey Davis III (May 26, 1926 – September 28, 1991) was one of the most influential and innovative musicians of the 20th century.
		Davis showed that he could play both blues and bebop (ably assisted by Coltrane), but the centerpiece is the title track, a Davis composition centred on the Dorian and Aeolian modes and featuring the free improvisatory modal style that Davis would make his own.
		Davis refused to be confined by the expectations of his traditional audience or music critics, and continued to explore the possibilities of his new band.

		Miles Davis (26 maggio 1926, † 28 settembre 1991) è stato un compositore jazz statunitense, un trombettista e polistrumentista ed è stato uno dei più influenti, innovativi ed originali musicisti del XX secolo.
		Davis mostra di essere in grado di suonare blues e bebop (con l'aiuto del geniale Coltrane), ma il vero capolavoro è la traccia che da il nome al disco, una composizione di Davis basata sui modi Dorico ed Eolio in cui egli si esprime con lo stile di improvvisazione modale libera, che vorrebbe far suo.
		Miles Davis ha continuato a suonare incessantemente fino agli ultimi anni della sua vita, ed il 24 luglio ha suonato per l'ultima volta in Italia, allo Stadio Olimpico di Roma.

		The only trouble was, Miles himself was not sure of where he should go after this, and after a lot of rehashes and misdirections, ended his career hiring Sting to play on his albums and covering Cyndi Lauper tunes.
		For one, Miles was not selling out his musical talent (he was expanding his audience via performing at pop venues and modifying his albums cover art; he did everything to make more money EXCEPT sacrificing the integrity of his music).
		Davis was actually in one of the most inspired and productive phases of his entire career, going into the studio often to work on musical concepts that in this case was not that abrupt a shift from his recording projects of the last several years.

		In contrast to his rich formal education as a musician, Miles as an artist was mostly self-taught.
		In 1980 Miles began to focus his talent in a new direction and started seeking expression not just through his music but also through visual art.
		He became inspired by the Milan-based design movement known as “Memphis” whose theme was based on hot colours and clashing.

		The band itself is extraordinary (proof of Miles Davis's masterful casting skills, if not of God's existence), listing John Coltrane and Julian "Cannonball" Adderley on saxophones, Bill Evans (or, on "Freddie Freeloader," Wynton Kelly) on piano, and the crack rhythm unit of Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums.
		Coltrane's astringency on tenor is counterpoised to Adderley's funky self on alto, with Davis moderating between them as Bill Evans conjures up a still lake of sound on which they walk.
		"Miles Davis presents here frameworks which are exquisite in their simplicity and yet contain all that is necessary to stimulate performance with a sure reference to the primary conception." Amen.

		Throughout a professional career lasting 50 years, Miles Davis played the trumpet in a lyrical, introspective, and melodic style, often employing a stemless Harmon mute to make his sound more personal and intimate.
		But if his approach to his instrument was constant, his approach to jazz was dazzlingly protean.
		It can even be argued that jazz stopped evolving when Davis wasn't there to push it forward.
