Miles Davis
Miles Dewey Davis III (May 26, 1926September 28, 1991) was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, and composer.
He is among the most influential and acclaimed figures in the history of jazz and 20th century music.
Davis adopted a variety of musical directions in a five-decade career that kept him at the forefront of many major stylistic developments in jazz.
Born and raised in Illinois, Davis left to study at the Juilliard School in New York City, before dropping out and making his professional debut as a member of saxophonist Charlie Parker's bebop quintet from 1944 to 1948.
Shortly after, he recorded the "Birth of the Cool" sessions for Capitol Records, which were instrumental to the development of cool jazz.
In the early 1950s, Miles Davis recorded some of the earliest hard bop music while on Prestige Records but did so haphazardly due to a heroin addiction.
After a widely acclaimed comeback performance at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1955, he signed a long-term contract with Columbia Records and recorded the 1957 album "'Round About Midnight".
It was his first work with saxophonist John Coltrane and bassist Paul Chambers, key members of the sextet he led into the early 1960s.
During this period, he alternated between orchestral jazz collaborations with arranger Gil Evans, such as the Spanish-influenced "Sketches of Spain" (1960), and band recordings, such as "Milestones" (1958) and "Kind of Blue" (1959).
The latter recording remains one of the most popular jazz albums of all time, having sold over four million copies in the U.S.
Davis made several line-up changes while recording "Someday My Prince Will Come" (1961), his 1961 Blackhawk concerts, and "Seven Steps to Heaven" (1963), another mainstream success that introduced bassist Ron Carter, pianist Herbie Hancock, and drummer Tony Williams.
After adding saxophonist Wayne Shorter to his new quintet in 1964, Davis led them on a series of more abstract recordings often composed by the band members, helping pioneer the post-bop genre with albums such as "E.S.P" (1965) and "Miles Smiles" (1967), before transitioning into his electric period.
During the 1970s, he experimented with rock, funk, African rhythms, emerging electronic music technology, and an ever-changing line-up of musicians, including keyboardist Joe Zawinul, drummer Al Foster, and guitarist John McLaughlin.
This period, beginning with Davis' 1969 studio album "
In a Silent Way" and concluding with the 1975 concert recording "Agharta", was the most controversial in his career, alienating and challenging many in jazz.
His million-selling 1970 record "Bitches Brew" helped spark a resurgence in the genre's commercial popularity with jazz fusion as the decade progressed.
After a five-year retirement due to poor health, Davis resumed his career in the 1980s, employing younger musicians and pop sounds on albums such as "The Man with the Horn" (1981) and "Tutu" (1986).
Critics were generally unreceptive but the decade garnered the trumpeter his highest level of commercial recognition.
He performed sold-out concerts worldwide while branching out into visual arts, film, and television work, before his death in 1991 from the combined effects of a stroke, pneumonia and respiratory failure.
In 2006, Davis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which recognized him as "one of the key figures in the history of jazz.
Rolling Stone" described him as "the most revered jazz trumpeter of all time, not to mention one of the most important musicians of the 20th century," while Gerald Early called him inarguably one of the most influential and innovative musicians of that period.
Michelangelo Faggioli
Michelangelo Faggioli( 1666–1733) was an Italian lawyer and celebrated amateur composer of humorous cantatas in Neapolitan dialect.
A founder of a new genre of Neapolitan comedy, he was the composer of the opera buffa" La Cilla" in 1706.
All Blues
"All Blues" is a jazz composition by Miles Davis first appearing on the influential 1959 album "Kind of Blue".
It is a twelve-bar blues in ; the chord sequence is that of a basic blues and made up entirely of seventh chords, with a VI in the turnaround instead of just the usual V chord.
In the song's original key of G this chord is an E7.
"All Blues" is an example of modal blues in G mixolydian.
A particularly distinctive feature of the piece is the bass line that repeats through the whole piece, except when a V or VI chord is reached (the 9th and 10th bars of a chorus).
Further, there is a harmonically similar vamp that is played by the horns (the two saxophones in the case of "Kind of Blue") at the beginning and
then (usually) continued by the piano under any solos that take place.
Each chorus is usually separated by a four-bar vamp which acts as an introduction to the next solo/chorus.
While originally an instrumental piece, lyrics were later added by Oscar Brown Jr.
