MILES DAVIS - 1926 to 1991: A Musical Legacy
Twenty five years ago, on the 28th September, 1991 an era passed with the death of Miles Davis. In a career that spanned five decades the importance of Davis'contribution to the music of the 20th Century cannot be ignored or indeed diminished with the passing of time.
In the rich recorded legacy that he left behind, Miles not only changed the face of jazz no less that five times, but was also able to reach an audience that went beyond the confines of a single musical genre, engaging with people that were not jazz fans but Miles Davis fans.
To mark the occasion, Jack Kenny, musician Julian Nicholas and George Cole (author of The Last Miles) revisit some of the key recordings and relationships that were so important in Miles' career and that have influenced subsequent generations of musicians.
