È molto difficile disconoscere a Davis un ruolo di innovatore e genio musicale. Dotato di uno stile inconfondibile ed una incomparabile gamma espressiva, per quasi trent'anni Miles Davis è stato una figura chiave del jazz e della musica popolare del XX secolo in generale. Dopo aver preso parte alla rivoluzione bebop, egli fu fondatore di numerosi stili jazz, fra cui il cool jazz, l'hard bop, il modal jazz ed il jazz elettrico o jazz-rock. Le sue registrazioni, assieme agli spettacoli dal vivo dei numerosi gruppi guidati da lui stesso, furono fondamentali per lo sviluppo artistico del jazz.

Many of his compositions are considered jazz standards. As a member of Miles Davis' band in the 1960s, he participated in the birth of the electric jazz fusion movement. In the 1970s, he formed Return to Forever. Along with Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, and Keith Jarrett, he has been described as one of the major jazz piano voices to emerge in the post-John Coltrane era. Corea continued to pursue other collaborations and to explore various musical styles throughout the 1980s and 1990s. He is also known for promoting and fundraising for a number of social issues, such as eradicating social illiteracy. Corea's first major professional gig was with Cab Calloway. Corea started his professional career in the 1960s playing with trumpeter Blue Mitchell and Latin musicians such as Herbie Mann, Willie Bobo and Mongo Santamaría. One of the earliest recordings of his playing is with Mitchell's quintet on The Thing To Do.

Master of Music Thesis
From Columbia Studio B to Carnegie Hall: The Studio-to-Stage Creative Trajectory in the Fusion Jazz of Miles Davis Timothy Douglas Booth A thesis submitted to Massey University and Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in Musicology New Zealand School of Music 2015 Copyright © Copyright by Timothy Douglas Booth All rights reserved September 2015 Abstract This thesis proposes an interrelationship between the creative processes of the recording studio and the concert stage in the fusion jazz of Miles Davis. Recent scholarship highlights the importance of the recording studio to fusion jazz musicians as they developed unique approaches to composition and improvisation. While providing valuable insight into the studio-derived creative processes distinctive of fusion jazz, this scholarship inadvertently obscures some of the live performance practices of fusion jazz musicians. Turning attention towards live performance, yet without neglecting the insights of this recent scholarship, I consider how the creative processes forged by Davis in the recording studio manifested in his activities as a concert artist. Combining commentary on Davis’s formative fusion jazz studio recordings (produced between 1969 and 1972) with analyses of the live album Dark Magus (exemplary of his mid-1970s concert performances), this thesis suggests a reorientation in Davis’s conceptions of improvisation and composition during this period by highlight some of the creative processes he engaged in, both in the recording studio and on the concert stage. Drawing on the accounts of several musicians who worked with Davis in the recording studio during the late-1960s and early 1970s, I consider how post- production tape editing allowed Davis and his band a new means for composing and improvising in the studio.

Steve Grossman: Foundations and Environments That Contributed to the Making of a Jazz Tenor Saxophone Icon
STEVE GROSSMAN: FOUNDATIONS AND ENVIRONMENTS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE MAKING OF A JAZZ TENOR SAXOPHONE ICON BY JONATHAN DAVID BECKETT SCHOLARLY ESSAY IN SUPPORT OF TWO LECTURE-RECITALS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Jazz Performance in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Charles McNeill, Chair, Director of Research Associate Professor Gabriel Solis Associate Professor Heinrich Taube Associate Professor John Stephens © 2013 by Jonathan David Beckett. All Rights Reserved. i ABSTRACT Steve Grossman is regarded as one of the most influential tenor saxophone players in Jazz. Relatively little is known about him and his music, however. This essay represents musicological research that synthesizes fragments of information in conjunction with personal interviews by the author. The purpose of this essay is to point to the environments and influences of Grossman that shaped him as a musician, and to advance knowledge about these people, places and times. Specifically investigated are the years immediately following the death of John Coltrane. Grossman took the influence of Coltrane and interpreted it in his own distinctive way. In 1969 at the age of 18, Grossman was hired by Miles Davis and played on several important albums including Black Beauty, A Tribute to Jack Johnson, and Miles at Fillmore. Elvin Jones hired Grossman subsequently, leading to the important album Live at the Lighthouse. Grossman also recorded the influential album Some Shapes to Come under his own name, and would go on to be a founding member of the band Stone Alliance.
