Six one-hour documentary programs and a two-hour music special featuring live recordings made on tour with Miles in 1988 and 1989, these recordings are the first official release of any live Miles in eight years. The series also features musical demonstrations by Jon Faddis, Lester Bowie, Tony Williams, Roy Porter, Andrew White, Jason Miles, Marcus Miller, George Duke, Olu Dara, and Lenny White. In addition, there are exclusive glimpses into outtakes from legendary CBS recording sessions, including 'Round About Midnight, Sketches of Spain, and Circle in the Round. Research for the project has been extensive. Writer Quincy Troupe spent over 100 hours over a period of three years interviewing Miles for Miles: The Autobiography. Executive Producer Steve Rowland and Troupe recorded interviews and demonstrations with over 100 musicians, artists, and writers, including Art Blakey, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Taylor, Jimmy Cobb, Art Farmer, Carlos Santana, Roberta Flack, Marcus Miller, Joni Mitchell, Hamiett Bluiett, Gerry Mulligan, Ira Gitler, Tony Williams, Joe Zawinul, and Wayne Shorter. * http://www.wcpn.org/public-square/staytuned/program-highlights-jul.html The Miles Davis Radio Project The Early Years - 1926-1946 Monday, July 16, 2001 9:00 - 10:00 PM An introduction to Miles Davis' career, and a portrait of Miles' youth in St. Louis, Ill.
