The course explores Davis's music, biography, and cultural impact through recordings, lead sheets, transcriptions, and a vast and growing literature that has been dubbed "Miles Davis studies." With the help of this literature and related studies of Davis's influences and contemporaries, the course will develop an integrated methodology for connecting Davis's work to various jazz styles and to the ongoing challenges of race, gender, social class that resonated--but were perhaps never fully resolved--in his music. Restriction(s): Restricted to Music or Musicology major(s). Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
