Miles Davis, So What

Miles Davis, So What

One of the most innovative jazz musicians ever, the great Miles Davis (1926-1991) was both the primary creator of the "cool jazz" school and the link between jazz and rock and roll as the leader of some of the most outstanding fusion groups. On this DVD you can experience Mile's cool sound playing with John Coltrane and the Gil Evans Orchestra in 1959, as well as a few tunes from 1967 with his stellar group featuring Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. Although highly experimental, the group's music was still strictly jazz and was to be Miles Davis' last acoustic quintet.
