'He used the trumpet as a songbird': 100 years of Miles Davis, by jazz greats Sonny Rollins, Yazz Ahmed and more

man I'm loving this Miles Davis tribute 🕰️! it's crazy to think about how much he influenced everyone who followed in his footsteps - from yazz ahmed singing all those solos on kind of blue 😲, to younger musicians still drawing inspiration from his work today. i mean, dude was a true innovator, always pushing the boundaries and trying new things... his leather-clad 80s period is still giving me life 🤟‍♂️! but what really stands out to me is how much respect he gets for being confident as an individual - like, in an industry where everyone's trying to collaborate all the time, miles just owned it 💪. anyway, this tribute is seriously doing justice to his legacy 🎶
 
🎶 I'm loving this revival of discussions about Miles Davis - it's crazy how his music still resonates with new generations 🤯. I mean, have you listened to Kind of Blue recently? The way he blends blues and modal jazz is just magic ✨. And the fact that Yazz Ahmed can sing all those solos on repeat is insane 😲. But what really gets me is how his legacy continues to inspire artists today - like, who's next in line to carry the torch for this kind of innovative jazz? 🤔🎧
 
You gotta respect how Miles was able to bring so much change to jazz 🎵 He wasn't afraid to take risks & try new things, which is something we can all learn from. I love how the interviews show that he's still influencing new musicians today - it's crazy to think about how his music can inspire people in a whole new generation 🔥
 
🎵 I think what's really interesting is how Miles's legacy continues to evolve, not just in terms of his music, but also in the way he's perceived by younger generations. It's a testament to his influence that he can inspire musicians from such diverse backgrounds and styles 🌎. The fact that some of these young musicians are drawing parallels between Miles's work and hip-hop is particularly striking – it speaks to the enduring power of jazz as a genre, even when it seems like it should be antiquated by modern standards 😂. At the same time, I think it's also worth noting how Miles's individuality was both his greatest strength and his most isolating quality – he was definitely a true original 🙏.
 
Miles Davis's legacy is indeed a testament to the power of innovative thinking in music 🎵. The fact that he continues to inspire new generations of musicians, despite passing away over three decades ago, speaks to the timeless quality of his work. I think it's fascinating how his collaborative approach to music-making has become an integral part of jazz tradition. At the same time, the emphasis on individuality and confidence in his playing style serves as a reminder that true artistic expression requires a willingness to take risks and push boundaries 🔄.
 
man this is all so cool but also kinda sad i mean miles died 34 years ago and still people are talking about him like he's still alive lol but for real though it's crazy how much influence he had on music, I've been listening to his stuff nonstop lately and it's wild how different eras of music can be influenced by just one person... but at the same time it's also kinda worrying that we're so reliant on nostalgia for inspiration 🤯
