In 1939 a dentist from Alton, Illinois gave his then 13-year-old son a trumpet and suggested he learn to play. Three years later while still attending high school the young trumpet player began working professionally. By 1959 the world would know him as Miles Davis, the man who changed the face of jazz with his groundbreaking album Kind of Blue.
Today in our modern world filled with endless electronic entertainment for kids in the guise of advancement, who will advance the arts? Â Who will be our next Miles Davis?
“I’m always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning… Everyday I find something creative to do with my life.”
- Miles Davis
