Miles Davis

Miles Davis emerged at a time of great artistic, social and political upheaval, this interactive and immersive presentation will look at how these factors influenced his life and his immeasurable impact on music in the 20th century. Mark Huggett joins us again to take us through this interactive presentation, where we will look in-depth at some of Miles Davis's key works and the context in which they were created. We will also explore how his work developed from his beginnings to later recordings which shaped the course of modern improvisational music.
