Together with the Amsterdam music platform Steppin’ into Tomorrow we will watch a new documentary about jazz legend Miles Davis, who would have turned 100 this year. Numerous films have already been made about him, but director Patrick Savey is taking a different approach. MILES does not attempt to explain who Miles Davis was, but explores how he created. Through the stories of musicians who played with him – including Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Marcus Miller, John McLaughlin and Carlos Santana – a picture emerges of a radical approach to his work: without fixed frameworks, without certainties, driven by risk and innovation. Miles did not provide answers. He created situations. The result is a mosaic-like documentary about creation in motion — and about an artist who, time and again, let go of the familiar to embrace the unknown.
