Stanley Nelson combines the man and his music to give us an intimate portrait of how one mind shaped popular culture, armed only with a well-manipulated trumpet and some smooth musical notes. ‘Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool’ humanises a musical genius and ends up giving us an engrossing, hilarious, informative and heartbreaking look at the Miles Davis that music fans thought they knew. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-miles-davis-birth-…

This is Weird. I thought if someone had a proven history of beating up women that people shouldn't get on their knees and worship them? But I suppose it's okay to glorify him because he was black. All is forgiven if that's the case? 🤔
