Summary
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of his birth, we’re excited to share Episode 1 from The Miles Davis Story, the latest series of the Legend podcast. Presented by acclaimed actor and longtime fan Clarke Peters (The Wire, Treme, Da 5 Bloods), the 5-part series explores the life and legacy of a visionary artist whose relentless pursuit of the "new" often scorched his own life and the lives of those around him. Across the series, Clarke charts Miles’s ever-evolving artform, starting with this first great transformation of a legend - when the young Miles chose to step into the unknown, seize control of his own creative destiny, and begin his journey as a leader. This is episode one of the series, exploring how New York helped Davis discover a radical new sound. If you like what you hear, you can listen to every episode on BBC Sounds.
