Celebrating a century of the magician of jazz, Miles Davis

One hundred years after the late Miles Davis was born, the revolutionary trumpet player remains one of the 20th century's most influential artists. We look back at the life and legacy of a complex, visionary figure with one of his collaborators, musician Jason Miles, who recorded the albums "Tutu", "Music for Siesta" and "Amandla" with Davis during his later years. Jason's latest record "100 Miles for Miles Davis" is a reflection on those recording sessions.
