Stanley Nelson’s documentary “Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool” ahead of its broadcast premiere on PBS on Tuesday, February 25 at 9pm (check local listings).

The documentary on the life of the jazz legend garnered much critical praise following its world premiere at Sundance in January 2019, had a successful national theatrical run last fall, and earned a Grammy nomination for ‘Best Music Film.’

The movie features rare photos and new interviews. Quincy Jones, Carlos Santana, Clive Davis, Wayne Shorter, Davis’s son Erin Davis and nephew Vince Wilburn, bassist and Davis collaborator Marcus Miller, and Ron Carter are just a few of the luminaries weighing in on the life and career of the cultural icon.
