# Miles Davis

> He kept turning the corner just as the rest of jazz caught up. Five decades, maybe seven distinct styles — bebop, cool jazz, modal, fusion — and each time he moved, the genre's center of gravity moved with him.

## Bio

Miles Dewey Davis III was born into an upper-class Illinois family in 1926 and picked up trumpet as a teenager. He dropped out of Juilliard to play in Charlie Parker's bebop quintet, then recorded the Birth of the Cool sessions that helped define that sound. A heroin addiction shadowed the early 1950s, but a comeback at Newport in 1955 led to Columbia Records and 'Round About Midnight with John Coltrane and Paul Chambers. Kind of Blue followed in 1959 — still the bestselling jazz album ever, more than six million copies worldwide — and through the 1960s he cycled lineups and styles, from orchestral work with Gil Evans to the post-bop abstractions of his second great quintet with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. In 1969 he went electric with In a Silent Way, then Bitches Brew the next year, fusing jazz with rock and funk in ways that split the audience and sold a million records. After five years off for health, he returned in the 1980s with pop-leaning albums and sold-out tours, working until a stroke and pneumonia killed him in 1991 at sixty-five.
