On May 26th, trumpeter, composer, and artist known as the "King of Jazz," Miles Davis, celebrated his 100th birthday.
From the birth of bebop to cool jazz, modal jazz, electric jazz, and beyond into the post-hip-hop era, his vast musical landscape.
His journey, constantly looking ahead of his time and fearlessly evolving, transcended the boundaries of a single jazz musician to become the history of
musical culture itself, from the 20th to the 21st century.

This edition of TOKYO MOON, titled "Miles Davis 100," traces his inexhaustible creative journey through the many songs he left behind.
I first encountered his music in 1982, at the age of 15. The first jazz album I ever bought, picked up on a whim at a record shop in Takadanobaba, Tokyo, was
Kind of Blue, released in 1959. Since then, his music has appeared in my life at various junctures, revealing new vistas each time.

Born in 1926 and departed this world in 1991, Miles Davis.
His legacy continues to be a source of inspiration for countless musicians.
