"“There are a few [photos] in there that I'm really excited and proud to show to everyone, moments that are so important in the history of jazz,” Milgrom says, smiling. “Anyone who loves music should experience this and learn a little bit about who [Davis] was and why he was so damn cool.”"
"The show celebrates the late jazz musician's centennial through imagery captured over a career spanning nearly five decades. On this particular evening, friends, family and photographers of Davis gather in Milgrom's cozy gallery, its walls adorned with photographs, nestled together in slick black frames on either side of the room."
"Milgrom has been working on the exhibition in collaboration with the Miles Davis Estate, led by Davis' children, Erin and Cheryl, as well as his nephew, Vince Wilburn Jr., who are all in attendance. This isn't their first collaboration; previously, Milgrom hosted a Miles Davis book launch party and a "Kind of Blue" Scotch whiskey tasting at the gallery."
"“Everyone should know not just his name, but what he represented and his integrity for believing in himself, following his path, and following his ideas that led to so many innovations in music,”"
A jazz-filled opening night gathers friends, family, photographers, and collaborators at Musichead Gallery on Sunset Boulevard. An old marquee announces the exhibition, “Miles Davis: A Century of Cool,” opening Saturday. The gallery owner and curator prepares to reveal photographs capturing key moments across nearly five decades of Miles Davis’s career. The exhibition is developed in collaboration with the Miles Davis Estate, led by Davis’s children, Erin and Cheryl, and his nephew, Vince Wilburn Jr. The curator’s long-standing admiration for Davis began in the 1970s through record-store work in Detroit, where he promoted Davis’s music and repeatedly played “Bitches Brew.” The event emphasizes learning who Davis was and what he represented, including integrity, self-belief, and musical innovation.
