Miles+Davis

Although Miles Davis is from a later time period than Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, he continued to develop jazz music, and deserves to be recognized. Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington were the first real big, innovative jazz musicians. Miles Davis picked up where they left off, pushing jazz into new directions and shaping it into what it is today.
