Miles Dewey Davis III
Trumpeter, bandleader, and composer
Born May 26, 1926 in Alton, Illinois, USA, died September 28, 1991 in Santa Monica, California, USA (aged 65)
One of the most important figures in jazz history, Davis adopted multiple musical directions in a five-decade career that kept him at the forefront of many major stylistic developments in jazz. His album "[m=5460" (1959) is the highest selling jazz album ever with over five million copies sold.
Miles settled in New York City to study at Juilliard School. He made his professional debut as a member of [a272028 from 1944 to 1948. In 1948, Davis began to found his own ensembles. At that time, he met [a255137, who contributed to [a497768's scores and arrangements. The dozen sides they recorded in 1949-50 were eventually assembled as the LP "[m=62308" (1957), with Davis and Evans working together again from 1957 on further projects.
Miles Davis was prominent in the creation of the 'Hard Bop' style in the mid-1950s (his first regular quintet featured [a97545), and the "time, no changes" approach in his second quintet a decade later. In the late 1960s, he introduced electronic instruments and rock and funk rhythms in his music. Around 1975, he went on a hiatus over health and personal problems, re-emerging in 1980.
He married dancer/actress [a7671712 on December 12, 1959; the couple divorced in 1968. He then married singer [a1076460 in September 1968; they divorced in 1970. He then married actress [a6279083 on November 26, 1981; they divorced in 1989. Father of [a680784 and [a1493787. Uncle of [a279708 (Jr).
Inducted into Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 (Performer).
