– Miles Davis
Wow! Everything you heard, and thought you knew, about Miles Davis the jazz (sorry, ‘social music’) great and then some. We have been posting and salivating about this project on here. Now here’s the theatrical trailer. Go, Don Cheadle. GO!
“Miles Ahead” is a wildly entertaining and moving exploration of one of 20th century music’s creative geniuses, Miles Davis, featuring a career defining performance by Oscar nominee Don Cheadle in the title role.
