On this day in 1926, Miles Davis was born. Today, in 2026, we mark the 100th birthday of one of the most transformative artists in music.
Miles never stood still. He moved through bebop, cool jazz, hard bop, modal music, and electric fusion constantly innovating and reinventing himself and his music
From Birth of the Cool to Kind of Blue, from Round About Midnight and Milestones to the second great quintet to Bi***es Brew, his work revolutionised not only jazz, but all contemporary music
A hundred years on, Miles Davis still defines what it means to develop without compromise. He is still as relevant and challenging as he ever was.
Both John and Ian are massive Miles fans and you often hear his music drifting out of the dem rooms - we also have a great selection of jazz vinyl - with a fair few fron the man himself
Happy heavenly birthday Miles and thanks for all your amazing music
