New Miles Davis documentary 'Birth of the Cool' - how 'Bitches Brew' album changed jazz

The full arc of Miles Davis’s sound, and life, forms the basis of 'Birth of the Cool', a two-hour film created for the PBS series American Masters, but at the center of it stands 'Bitches Brew', Davis' pivotal album that altered the trajectory of jazz, messed with the boundaries of funk, and pushed psychedelic rock to new heights of exploration. Docu covers everything from Davis’s ravenous creative development to his ever-evolving fashion sense, to his complex relationship with women. Guardian brings the broader story of that album. Watch the trailer below.
