Miles Davis

Quincy Troupe

Miles discusses his life and music from playing trumpet in high school to the new instruments and sounds from the Caribbean.

Miles

Miles Davis, musicien de légende issu de la bourgeoisie noire de Saint-Louis, raconte son parcours musical de plus de quarante ans, des clubs de Harlem et de la 52e Rue où il croise la route de Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk et bien d'autres, aux années électriques et à la fusion entre jazz, rock, pop et musique antillaise. Et c'est en toute franchise qu'il se confie sur les épreuves qui ont jalonné sa vie, ses problèmes d'alcool et de drogue, ses maladies, guérisons et rechutes, la haine raciste à laquelle il se trouva si souvent confronté. Ces obstacles, il les surmontera grâce à ses rencontres - ses amis, les femmes de sa vie - et surtout grâce à sa grande force de caractère et à sa passion pour la vie et la musique.

My Funny Valentine

Zum 40. Jubiläum des Meilensteins 'Bitches Brew' (1970) von Miles Davis erscheint die Platte in einer Sonderedition, in der das ursprüngliche Tracklisting um bisher unveröffentlichte Titel ergänzt wird. Ausserdem liegt eine DVD mit einem Livemitschnitt eines Auftrittes vom November 1969 in Kopenhagen, bei dem Teile des im April 1970 folgenden Albums gespielt wurden. Dieses Konzert ist ebenfalls unveröffentlicht. Die Besetzung ist jeweils beeindruckend: An der Studioaufnahme nahmen neben Miles Davis (Trompete) Wayne Shorter (Saxofone), Joe Zawinul und Chick Corea (beide Piano), Lenny White und Jack DeJohnette (beide Schlagzeug), John McLaughlin (Gitarre), Dave Holland (Bass) u.a. teil. Auf der Bühne spielte das Quintett Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Chick Core, Dave Holland und Jack DeJohnette. Mit 'Bitches Brew' stiess der innovative Davis einmal mehr eine neue Tür auf, die Platte gilt - noch mehr als der Vorgänger 'In a silent way' - als Wegbereiter des Fusion-Jazz. ä'Bitches Brew' is so forward thinking, it retains its freshness and mystery in the 21st centuryä (www.allmusic.com).
