Who the great jazz musician Miles Davis was, 100 years after his birth

Ecco chi era il grande musicista jazz Miles Davis a 100 anni dalla nascita

Miles Davis, the legendary jazz trumpeter and composer, is commemorated on the centenary of his birth. The article traces his career from his early days with Charlie Parker's bebop quintet in 1944, through his pioneering of cool jazz with "Birth of the Cool" (1949) and modal jazz with "Kind of Blue" (1959), to his later fusion experiments with electric instruments and funk-rock on albums like "Bitches Brew" (1970). It also highlights his lesser-known work as a painter, creating abstract, expressionist works influenced by Kandinsky, Basquiat, and Picasso, which were only exhibited after his death.
