Few artists have changed the direction of music the way Miles Davis did.
From the birth of cool jazz in the late 1940s, to masterpieces like Kind of Blue, and later into electric explorations with Bitches Brew – Miles Davis was never still. He constantly redefined jazz. Always one step ahead. Always in motion.
Kind of Blue remains the best-selling jazz album of all time. Milestones marked the beginning of something new. Together, they represent a turning point in music history where improvisation found a new language, and simplicity became depth.
This evening 100 years of innovation, edge, and beauty will be celebrated.
