I was really amazed to read that there had not been made a comprehensive documentary about the work and life of Miles Davis yet. With full access to the Miles Davis Estate, this film features never-before-seen footage, including studio outtakes from his recording sessions, rare photos and new interviews. Quincy Jones, Carlos Santana, Clive Davis, Wayne Shorter and Ron Carter are just a few of the luminaries weighing in on Davis' life and career.
Miles Davis' (simulated) voice over in this documentary is very effective, especially since his husky, raw voice (caused by an illness) is so powerful, however soft it sounds simultaneously. Like his voice, his trumpet sounds very fragile as well, but it is still so intense and powerful and gorgeous to listen to... Miles Davis' music will live on forever...this documentary let's us hear why...
