Fall in love easily with the channel honouring the undeniable musical impact of Miles Davis through his classics, tributes and more with the return of Miles Davis Radio, just ahead of Jazz Appreciation Month, which is celebrated throughout the month of April.
Miles Davis Radio (Ch. 747) is an exclusive channel devoted to an American icon who singlehandedly changed the sound of jazz four times in a nearly five-decade career – from cool to bebop, fusion to hip-hop and beyond. The channel will feature the music of Miles Davis as a focal point, but will also explore music and stories of artists who influenced Miles, as well as those who he influenced.
Listeners will enjoy the music of Miles Davis 24/7 and revel in the artistry of John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Marcus Miller, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Robert Glasper, Ron Carter, John McLaughlin and many more. Miles Davis’ family members including Erin Davis and Vince Wilburn Jr. and former band members including Joey DeFrancesco, Lenny White, John Beasley and others will serve as Guest DJs with a discography of over 100 titles to choose from – including The Birth of the Cool, the million-seller Bitches Brew and the biggest-selling jazz album of all time, Kind of Blue.
The channel will also feature guest appearances and contributions from musicians and admirers including jazz hip-hopper Robert Glasper, trumpeter Chris Botti; producer, bassist and former band member Marcus Miller; and actor Don Cheadle, who played Davis in the 2015 biopic Miles Ahead.
Miles Davis is a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master and a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer – and now there’s a channel as cool as the man himself. For more information on Miles Davis, visit milesdavis.com.
