If you’re
stressed out, listen to jazz and relax. Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Miles
Davis settle the soul. Pain starts in the brain, and beautiful music is a
proven painkiller.
It is
important to put your mind at ease. Do you take time to reflect? Whether it is
meditation, yoga, or prayer find Nirvana.
The world
is changing rapidly. People are facing unthinkable situations. What should you
do?
You can
use music to escape this invisible prison. Miles Davis was the warden of Jazz.
This post pays tribute to the legendary composer.
Miles Davis
If I
could write the way Miles Davis composed music, I’d have no problems that my
words couldn’t solve. The gifted and talented music artist excelled because celebrities
esteemed him. It’s one thing for your fans to adore you. It’s all together
different when your peers approve you.
When Miles
blew his trumpet, everyone stopped to admire his virtuosity. Gratefully, he stayed
active and visible until passing away at age 65. Although his body is gone, his
spirit keeps on giving.
What are your
favorite Jazz musicians and songs? Have you heard In a Sentimental Mood? Can you imagine life back then without
music?
How
difficult was it for Miles Davis to survive Jim Crow and the Civil Rights eras?
As a black man, Davis couldn’t even book a room in some of the hotels where he
performed. Don’t you think Jazz music can save the downtrodden?
What is
more, Miles Davis represented change. Before America decided against
segregation, Jazz integrated all races, beliefs, and creeds. His impact on pop
culture is evident in Hip-Hop.
Did you
know Miles Davis mastered many instruments besides the trumpet? The legendary
bandleader blessed us on the piano, organ, flugelhorn, and synthesizer. You see
he was made to make music.
I believe
music is the common denominator of society. Good music is colorblind. Why not
appreciate Miles Davis and Jazz together?
