Miles Davis 102, The Cool and Modal Years!

Think you are not a fan of jazz, think Miles Davis has nothing to offer you? Davis, during his 45 plus year career, released at least 60 studio albums and 39 live albums, as well as 46 compilation albums, 27 box sets, and 4 soundtrack albums. He reinvented himself almost as often as he changed his socks (well at least every few years anyway).

Part 2 will go back to look at the early years and the birth of the cool and finding a whole new way to build musical keys and scales.
