SynopsisFor more than 50 years, trumpeter/bandleader Miles Davis was a major innovator of cool, modal, avant-garde and fusion jazz styles.This program captures Davis's band: alto saxophonist/flutist Kenny Garrett, keyboardists Robert Irving III and Adam Holzmann, lead bassist Joseph "Foley" McCreary and bassist Benjamin Rietveld, percussionist Marilyn Mazur and drummer Ricky Wellman, live in Munich, Germany on July 10th, 1988. With these musicians' sympathetic and syncopated support, Davis' trademarked Harmon-muted trumpet tones dance and trace over the combo's supple electric swing.Throughout the concert, Davis glides across the stage with the elegance and power of a dancer and a fighter, huddling with his sidemen to play and share a phrase.Interview snippets with Davis feature the trumpeter frankly discussing his other passion, artwork.All told, Miles in Munich shows that the man called "Prince Of Darkness" was full of artistic light near the end of his creative life.
