This week Kate Molleson explores the life and work of a cultural
icon: trumpeter, composer and bandleader Miles Davis, who was
born 100 years ago this week and remains one of the most
innovative and influential figures in 20th-century music. Kate is
joined throughout the week by the leading American jazz critic
Nate Chinen. Together, they'll survey his vast recorded output,
which spans five decades, prioritising his own compositions but
also appreciating the art of improvisation as spontaneous
composition.
