The Guardian described him as "a pioneer of 20th-century music, leading many of the key developments in the world of jazz." Miles Davis was the most widely recognized jazz musician of his era, with eight Grammy Awards and 32 nominations. He was an outspoken social critic and an arbiter of style—in attitude and fashion—as well as music."
