Franck Médioni - Miles Davis, Biographie (French-Language Book)

Miles Davis . “Why play so many notes when all you need is to play the most beautiful ones?” . Miles Davis (1926-1991), a trumpeter with a deeply moving sound, profoundly shaped jazz and music history. Music was his life, and the trumpet his fragile yet powerful, intense voice. His father taught him early about the racism he would face. Miles chose to fight through music by becoming a respected Black artist. Often called the “Picasso of jazz,” he continually innovated and reinvented himself, making albums that never repeated the same formula. Though known for a difficult, volatile temperament, the musician fascinated audiences and became one of the few jazz icons with worldwide success.
