Ever wanted to know where cool really comes from? Look no further than Miles Davis. Trumpeter, band leader, innovator... he was the very embodiment of cool - and is still a relevant voice today. Using personal artefacts, including photos, home movies, manuscripts and paintings, as well as interviews with well-known musicians including Jimmy Cobb, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Carlos Santana, The Roots and Quincy Jones, this film explores the legend behind the music and shows how there’s cool… then there’s Miles Davis cool.
