Miles Dewey Davis III (May 26, 1926 ? September 28, 1991) was one of the most influential and innovative musicians of the 20th century. A trumpeter, fluegelhorn player, bandleader and composer, Davis was at the forefront of almost every major development in jazz after World War II.
Along with Charlie Parker & Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis is one of the most important individuals in jazz. He took a lead role in the formation of cool jazz, and later modal composition, which took the shape of free-bop with his "Second Great Quintet." That group disbanded slowly as Miles embarked on a jazz-rock style known as fusion. Prior to his 5 year retirement, Miles also branched into music concrete & funk.
Kind of Blue is Davis' best-known work. However, Bitches Brew (made whilst married the Betty Davis), when released, was Davis' best seller and was the highest selling jazz album at that point. Other milestones include Birth of the Cool, Sketches of Spain, Miles Smiles, In a Silent Way, On the Corner & Agharta.
More dynamic stylistically than perhaps any single performer in the last 50 years, Miles' music can be seen as paving the way for ambient music (see the ode to Ellington, He Loved Him Madly), hip-hop (with On the Corner), the jazz-rock meeting (all his fusion work), and more.
