20 years ago today, the Prince of Darkness, Miles Davis, passed away. Jazz fan or not, I don't think you're going to find as many artists who managed not only to remain creatively relevant throughout their entire lifetimes, but were responsible for the creation of entirely new styles of their music as often as he did; bebop, cool jazz, fusion and more if you want to split hairs.
Goodnight, sweet prince.

Re: Miles Davis, 1926-1991
My personal favorite of Miles Davis' work. In my younger days i was a bit of a horn player and was most fond of Latin and Afro-Cuban styles. This Album blew me away.
