This May the titan of jazz turns 100. Miles Davis was all things to all players, evolving from a precocious practitioner of bebop and cool to a pioneer of jazz fusion. A globetrotter, his work branched into other media; in Paris he improvised the soundtrack for Louis Malle’s eclectic masterpiece, Elevator to the Gallows, and he made three tours of Japan in the sixties and seventies. It’s safe to say that without Davis, jazz wouldn’t be what it is.
