Producers Nick Davis Raynes and Ged Dickinson have partnered with Gregory Davis, Miles’ eldest son to bring the true story of Miles Davis’ life to the screen and preserve his legacy. The script is loosely based on Gregory Davis’ book ‘DARK MAGUS The Jekyll and Hyde Life of Miles Davis’, and the filmmakers have access to much of Miles Davis’ music (primarily from 1963-1977).
Miles Davis’ epic story spans five decades of music history in which he continuously reinvented himself as a musician, a composer and a man. His ability to change and acclimate to the innovations of young musicians, bring them into his fold, and direct the course of music history distinguished him as a unique historical icon. The film is a poignant look at the rise, fall and rise again of Miles Davis, a superbly talented yet abundantly flawed personality.
Besides Miles, there are many supporting characters featured in the film including Jimi Hendrix, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Cicely Tyson, Gil Evans, Michael Jackson, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, Sugar-Ray Robinson, Betty Mabry, Francis Taylor.
