With warm, muted style on albums, such as Kind of Blue (1959), noted American trumpeter Miles Dewey Davis, Junior, later experimented with jazz-fusion.

Recordings of Armando Anthony Corea with group of Davis from 1968 to 1970 contributed to the development of jazz-fusion.


Miles Dewey Davis III led a band and composed.

From World War II, people widely considered Davis at the forefront of almost every major development as the most influential musicians of the 20th century, to the 1990s. He played various early bebop and one of the first cool records. He partially responsibly developed modal, and his work with other musicians in the late 1960s and early 1970s arose.

Davis belongs to the great tradition that started with Buddy Bolden and ran through Joe Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Roy Eldridge, and Dizzy Gillespie, although people never considered his high level of technical ability unlike those of those musicians. His greatest achievement, however, moved beyond regard as a distinctive influence on his own instrument and shaped whole ways through the work of his bands, in which many of the most important musicians of the second half of the 20th century made their names.

The hall of fame for rock and roll posthumously inducted Davis on 13 March 2006. The walk of fame of Saint Louis and the halls for big band and jazz and downbeat jazz also inducted him.
