The Nightside: The Musical Family Tree of Miles Davis
There are a rare few iconic figures in Black American Music that have made such an impact as Miles Davis (5/26/26 - 9/28/91) both stylistically and in the players that have been in his bands.
Fiercely individualistic and groundbreaking, his music steered jazz for five decades and in many ways continues to influence.
We have more Miles posters on our walls than anyone else — that wasn’t intentional, it just turned out that way.
On the night before his 99th birthday, we’ll pay tribute. To a vast career and the massive collection of musicians who walked “In a Silent Way." From the Birth of the Cool to Doo Bop this Sunday on The Jazz Odyssey, WE WANT MILES.
