Miles Davis masterfully moved through these genres of Jazz. Never one to stand still or get stuck in one place musically, the following videos are representative of the different styles of jazz. Miles was constantly reinventing himself. Traditionalists may argue if these are actually jazz compositions, but those that argue should know jazz has no limits.

- Miles Davis' first great quintet is generally agreed to be the one with tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones—the group which in 1955-56 recorded Columbia's 'Round About Midnight and Prestige's The New Miles Davis Quintet, Steamin', Workin', Relaxin' and Cookin'.
- However Davis assembled his first regular quintet to meet a commitment at the Café Bohemia in NYC (Greenwich Village) in July 1955 with Sonny Rollins on tenor saxophone, Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums. So was this his first great quintet?
- Miles Davis recorded the album 'Kind of Blue' in sessions from 1959 with Miles of course on Trumpet, John Coltrane - Tenor sax, Bill Evans – Piano on "Flamenco Sketches" Wyn Kelly – Piano on "So What" Julian "Cannonball" Adderly – Alto Sax, Paul Chambers – Bass, Jimmy Cobb – Drums
During this time the group itself became a sextet.
- Who replaced John Coltrane in Miles Davis Quintet? "Cannonball" Adderley left the band in September 1959 to pursue his own career, returning the line-up to a quintet. Coltrane departed in the spring of 1960, and after interim replacements Jimmy Heath and Sonny Stitt, Davis plus Kelly, Chambers, and Cobb continued through 1961 and 1962 with Hank Mobley on tenor sax.
- Miles Davis' second great quintet (1964-1968) is on this playlist. "Footprints" featured Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on Bass, and Tony Williams on drums. By 1968 Miles started to embraced the idea of incorporating electric bass and keyboards in his music. The final LP of Davis's Second Great Quintet, "Filles de Kilimanjaro", started with the classic lineup in a session from June 1968 and finished with Chick Corea on keyboards and Dave Holland on bass in a session that fall. The studio album "Nefertiti" released in March 1968 and recorded on June 7, June 22-23 and July 19, 1967 at Columbia's 30th Street Studio, was Davis' last fully acoustic album. It was "Bitches Brew," recorded from August 19 to 21, 1969, at Columbia's Studio B in New York City and released on March 30, 1970 by Columbia Records that forever changed the course of and redefined jazz. With the sounds of Jimi Hendrix, Sly & the Family Stone and James Brown in his head, Davis plugged in and brought electric rock sensibilities to jazz.
