More Views

This is an in-depth look at the man, his horn and the legend that was Miles Davis. Host Ross Porter follows Davis’ spectacular career from the 1940s to 1991, exploring his contradictions and speaking with those who knew him best throughout his many incarnations. Among those interviewed are Keith Jarret, Wayne Shorter, Lee Konitz, Jimmy Heath, Ron Carter and Marcus Miller. We even hear the famous ruined voice of one of his great collaborators, Gil Evans. The series contains great music from the earliest bebop recordings to works from groundbreaking albums like Birth of the Cool, Miles Ahead, Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain and Bitches Brew.
