Music Legends is BACK! And better than ever!
On this new episode, we take closer look at one of hip hop's happiest, youngest and most dope MC's of this generation. Mac Miller has been an inspiration to millions of hip hop fans for his laid back flow and deep lyrics. One of his deepest lyrics come in the form of one of his many tattoos, which sums up his attitude for much of his life. "Only so much time left in this crazy world." It sure is a crazy world, and Mac Miller had an even crazier life. One that cemented him forever as a Music Legend.

What does the word "cool" mean to you? Chances are, you've never thought as hard about it as you are right now. Miles Davis is considered one of the "coolest" people to have ever lived, but what exactly made him so cool anyway? Well, you're about to find out.
I've never done more than two episodes of Music Legends on a single band or musician and fully anticipated continuing this trend when I started researching Miles Davis for Music Legends back in September of 2019. After months of long nights of research and production, it became clear that just one episode wasn't quite going to cut it. Now, here we are. Just days away from 2022, and I'm finally unleashing this epic journey.
Season 2 of Music Legends is a highly narrative-driven format that navigates through Miles Davis's crazy life by transporting the listener straight to Davis's most life-changing moments. Weaving through his experiences and getting to know characters who had tremendous impacts on Miles Davis throughout his life, you will feel like your right there in the middle of the chaos. You will learn something you never knew about Miles Davis and by the end of the series, you will hopefully have a new outlook on what exactly it means to be "cool"
In this episode, the first episode of season 2, Miles Davis receives his very first trumpet and becomes enchanted with jazz. He finds community in the smoke-filled clubs of 52nd Street in Manhattan, New York, and gets a free ride to a prestigious ivy league college, only to realize, it may not be for him.

Happy New year! I'm back to kick off 2022 with the next chapter of the Miles Davis story. In this episode, episode 2 of Season 2. Miles feels a whirlwind of emotions. He struggles with finding his purpose and filling a certain emptiness that lives within him. He also meets one of the few true loves of his life, only to leave her. All of this causes him to spiral downward and out of control. Booing fans, withdrawals, and signing a record deal without reading the fine lines were just a few of the many consequences.

Music Legends is back again with the next chapter of the Miles Davis story. In this episode, episode 4 of Season 2, a multitude of events occur, slowly tipping Miles's emotional scale from cool to fool. A brawl with a dirty racist cop outside a sold-out theatre. A dangerous drug-fueled speed race across NYC against fear itself. Just a few years prior, Miles Davis was cool, calm, and collected, but there was only so much he could take.

As Miles Davis fell deeper into addiction, colder and darker sides of his personality emerged. Fear, Jealousy, and rage seeped into all aspects of his life. His relationship with his wife, Frances Taylor Davis, had been turning sour ever since he pulled her dream job from under her feet. Now it turned violent after a night out on the town. Miles Davis went from cool to fool to now ice cold. The peace-and-love revolution began to sweep the nation, but Miles Davis was about to start a revolution of his own.

Motivated by his growing rage for the corporations and privileged whites who turned jazz into boring elevator music, Miles Davis takes yet another U-turn in the winding road of his career. This time, he teams up with the free love movement and some of the best funk and rock & roll musicians of the time to create what Carlos Santana called "Music that gets you high just by listening to it." The time Miles Davis was spending making music may have helped him forget his past, but time only made his pain grow.

Hey Everyone!
I'm taking a short break from the Miles Davis series to bring you something a little different.
I've wanted to start doing more interviews for a long time, and last week, I had the opportunity to sit down with the local Seattle band, Flying Fish Cove. We talked about everything from the local DIY punk scene in Seattle to wild tour stories. Hopefully, this will be the first of many interviews to be sprinkled in along with the regular Music Legends content. Enjoy!
