Miles Davis' music influenced the world of jazz. His 1959 album "Kind of Blue" was a revolutionary step towards today's music: "The album's influence has reached beyond jazz, as musicians of such genres as rock and classical have been influenced by it, while critics have written about it as one of the most influential albums of all time." from Wikipedia. He composed many famous songs such as "Milestones" and "So What".

"Miles Davis is regarded as one of the most innovative, influential and respected figures in the history of music. He has been described as 'one of the great innovators in jazz'." from Wikipedia.

Although many like Louis Armstrong thought of Davis as someone who breaks all of the jazz rules just to be weird, Miles' new ideas and revolutionary improvising solos set a new milestone in the history of jazz. He is one of the greatest trumpeters of all time.
