American Masters \u2014 <strong><em>Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool<\/em><\/strong>, which earned a Grammy nomination in the \u201cBest Music Film\u201d category, premieres nationwide Tuesday, February 25 at 9PM on PBS (check local listings), <a href=\"http:\/\/pbs.org\/milesdavis\">pbs.org\/milesdavis<\/a> and the PBS Video app in honor of Black History Month.<\/p>\n<p>A visionary known for his restless aesthetic, Davis is widely regarded as one of the most innovative, influential and respected figures in music. With full access to the Miles Davis Estate, the film features never-before-seen footage, including studio outtakes from his recording sessions, rare photos, and new interviews. Quincy Jones, Carlos Santana, Clive Davis, Wayne Shorter, Davis\u2019s son Erin Davis and nephew Vince Wilburn, bassist and Davis collaborator Marcus Miller, and Ron Carter are just a few of the luminaries weighing in on the life and career of the cultural icon.<\/p>\n<p>American Masters \u2014 <em>Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool<\/em> takes a hard look at the mythology that surrounds the legend. \u201cThe story of Miles Davis \u2014 who he was as a man and artist \u2014 has often been told as the tale of a drug-addled genius,\u201d said Nelson. \u201cYou rarely see a portrait of a man that worked hard at honing his craft, a man who deeply studied all forms of music, from Baroque to classical Indian. An elegant man who could render ballads with such tenderness yet hold rage in his heart from the racism he faced throughout his life. He could be romantic and pursue women relentlessly, yet treat them with cruelty upon winning them over. He could be extremely generous, yet rescind that generosity on a whim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The documentary delves into the six-decade career of the musical genius: from his days as a Juilliard student to the develoPMent of his signature sound on recordings with his famous quintet, from his collaborations with Gil Evans to his shifts to new musical paradigms in the 70s and 80s. As the film tracks Davis\u2019s boundary-breaking musical triumphs, the meanderings of his complicated personal life are told with intimate reflections from those closest to him. Previously unseen footage and a soundtrack full of Davis\u2019s music are complemented by new interviews with friends, fellow musicians, collaborators, and scholars to create a full portrait of the complex man. The film, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and had a successful limited theatrical run, tells the story of truly singular talent and unpacks the man behind the horn.<\/p><div id=\"morty-2380881141\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>In conjunction with the broadcast premiere of American Masters \u2014 <em>Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool<\/em> in February, Columbia Records\/Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, will release \u201cMiles Davis \u2013 Music From and Inspired by <em>Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool<\/em>, a Film by Stanley Nelson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>American Masters, THIRTEEN\u2019s award-winning biography series, celebrates our arts and culture.
