Kind Of Blue....

Happy birthday to Jazz trumpeter Miles Davis, born today (5/25) in 1926. Davis was born in nearby (to me) Alton, Ill. He started his career with Billy Eckstine's orchestra in a lineup that included Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. He went on to record more than two dozen albums and is considered the originator of more jazz styles than any other artist. He died in 1991...
