Miles Davis (1926-1991) was a jazz composer, trumpet player and multi-instrumentalist. He is regarded as one of the most important and influential jazz musicians of the twentieth century and is seen as the embodiment of what is “cool”. Filmmaker Stanley Nelson’s documentary about the life of this legendary artist brings the viewer close to his sound, fame and his intriguing personality.
