Join us for another On the Record session—this month we're listening to the work of Miles Davis on the 100th anniversary of his birth.
From his early years as a sideman with legends like Charlie Parker to his final years as reigning elder himself, Miles Davis looms large over the world of jazz.
In his 30+ year career, he traversed a range of styles, from the swinging, heavy bebop of his early years to the jazz-funk-pop fusion of his later work, exerting a massive influence on various genres and artists.
We'll play selections from Miles' entire career, mostly on vinyl, but also including some exclusive mixes/edits from his fusion era.
