"I've changed music five or six times." One of the most memorable quotes from Miles' autobiography (and there are many!), this now-famous, braggadocious comment has aged well, and comes immediately to mind as you start to trace the trumpeter's five-decade career. Again and again, Miles was on the forefront of what was to come in jazz, as well as popular music.
With all that said, we've carefully curated a playlist that chronicles the evolution of Miles Davis' music and artistry through five decades – the full spectrum of changes he made to music!
