The perfect 125 min. comprehensive companion to the complete Prestige and Columbia recordings. This video was a labor of love by Mike Dibb who interviewed Miles, many musicians who played with him, family and friends. Some of the players interviewed include his mentor Clark Terry, producer George Avakian, drummer Jimmy Cobb, singer/pianist Shirley Horn, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Dave Holland, Jack Dejohnette, Keith Jarret, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Dave Liebman, and Marcus Miller.
There are many representative moments of Miles playing from different phases in his career. All his relationships with women and musicians are tracked. This is the definitive look at the only trumpeter who changed the main directions of jazz after Louis Armstrong. Must-seeing for anyone interested in one of the top two giants of jazz.
