    Stanley Nelson combines the man and his music to give us an intimate portrait of how one mind shaped popular culture, armed only with a well-manipulated trumpet and some smooth musical notes. ‘Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool’ humanises a musical genius and ends up giving us an engrossing, hilarious, informative and heartbreaking look at the Miles Davis that music fans thought they knew. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-miles-davis-birth-of-the-cool-the-man-behind-the-jazz-legend Head to https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/sff for more S...
