Miles Davis
Born:
Throughout a professional career lasting 50 years, Miles Davisplayed the trumpet in a lyrical, introspective, and melodicstyle, often employing a stemless harmon mute to make hissound more personal and intimate. But if his approach to hisinstrument was constant, his approach to jazz was dazzlinglyprotean. To examine his career is to examine the history ofjazz from the mid-'40s to the early '90s, since he was in thethick of almost every important innovation and stylisticdevelopment in the music during that period, and he often ledthe way in those changes, both with his own performancesand recordings and by choosing sidemen and collaboratorswho forged the new directions. It can even be argued that jazzstopped evolving when Davis wasn't there to push it forward.

From Fad To Phenomenon: The Lasting Legacy Of Record Store Day
by Kyle Simpler
Despite its growing popularity, some still view the vinyl resurgence as a passing trend that will eventually fade. Articles frequently appear in newspapers and magazines almost celebrating any dip in vinyl sales. In late 2024, for example, several headlines noted that vinyl sales were down 33%--somewhat ironic, considering that an LP spins at 33 1/3 RPM. ...
Jon Irabagon: Server Farm
by Dan McClenaghan
"The times they are a-changin.'" Bob Dylan said that in 1964. He was right. In 2025, they are still changing, perhaps most notably with the emergence of artificial intelligence. That previously slow creep--outlined so accurately in Arthur C. Clarke's novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968, paired with Stanely Kubrick's movie of the same name--will build ...

Kenny Garrett Speaks Through The Soul of His Jazz
by Dean Nardi
Mental bungee-jumping may not be their sport of choice, but a cerebral ledge exists that sooner or later every jazz musician must leap off. One day, ready or not, tuning up or shaking down their instrument, they will glance in a mirror, hug a pregnant mother-to-be, second-line a funeral, walk in the deepest, dark woods, chance ...
