Miles Davis - The Genius

Miles Davis.

He was once called "the Picasso of jazz" because of the ability he had to re-invent himself and his music.

The nineteenth century French painter Delacroix once observed: "Talent does whatever it wants to do... Genius does only what it can."

So it was with Miles - Miles the man and Miles the dedicated and instinctive musician. An aura of moody mysteriousness was planted around Miles by writers and critics who desperately tried to put the paraxdocial pieces into place. But to the fiercest and only critic that mattered to him, Miles himself, all was clear:

"I am one thing, a musician; I only can do one thing, play my horn."

Miles Davis - the genius.
