'He used the trumpet as a songbird': 100 years of Miles Davis, by jazz greats Sonny Rollins, Yazz Ahmed and more

I'm thinking... what makes Miles Davis's music so timeless? 🤔 It's not just his iconic trumpet sound or those super famous albums like Kind of Blue 🎵, but it's how he connected with people through his music. I mean, we can still vibe with his tunes after all these years 🕺. He was one of those musicians who pushed the boundaries and took risks in a way that made you feel something real 😊. And yeah, his groups were like little families 🤝 - you could tell when he was working with someone special 💡. The thing is, Miles's music isn't just about him; it's about how he brought people together through sound ❤️. I think that's what keeps his legacy going strong 💪.
 
You know I'm just gonna say this – Miles Davis was like no one else in jazz. His music still holds up today because he didn't just play cool tunes, he redefined what's possible with sound 🎶. And yeah, Kind of Blue is a masterpiece, but it's not the only reason why his music feels so timeless. I think what really sets him apart is how he could make you feel something without saying a word – that intensity, that chemistry with his bandmates... it's like he's still out there playing to just one person as Wayne Shorter said 🤯. Anyway, I'm all for celebrating Miles' legacy and the impact he had on generations of musicians, but what I'd love to see more of is how we can apply those same principles of innovation and collaboration to our own lives today 💡
 
man 🤯 I feel like we need more innovators like miles in our lives today - his way of pushing boundaries is super inspiring 💡 you know how people always say that kind of blue is one of the greatest albums ever? it's not just because of its technical skill, but also because it taps into something deeper and more emotional 🎶 I'm definitely gonna have to check out some of those interviews and see what else miles had to say about his approach to music...
