Storyline

A Solid Documentary About Jazz

I've always been a fan of Jazz but never really listened to Miles Davis. I was always a fan of Mingus, Mose Alison, and Brubeck. I had nothing else to watch so I put this on and I was very glad I did. Miles's story is one for the ages.

Before going in to the documentary I knew very little about Miles Davis. I knew he was a Jazz musician and I knew that he had a troubled life constantly fighting addiction. The documentary tells his story wonderfully and makes me want to grab a couple Miles Davis records this weekend and jam out. If you like Jazz, documentaries or music history this one is for you.
