The May issue of Jazzwise magazine celebrates the Miles Davis centenary with compelling new in-depth features, including an exclusive deep dive into how his legendary five-night stand at the Plugged Nickel helped unlock the next chapter of his sound.

This issue also features interviews with three headliners from this year’s Cheltenham Jazz Festival: trumpeter and composer Guy Barker discusses his symphonic take on Miles’s Kind of Blue; trumpeter Emma-Jean Thackray talks about bringing Miles’s music back to the groove; and Roberto Fonseca reflects on Cuba’s current socio-economic crisis and the healing power of music.

Elsewhere in the issue, you’ll find interviews with drummer Gregory Hutchinson and keyboardist Jason Miles, both of whom celebrate the music of Miles Davis on their latest albums. Session guitarist Mitch Dalton shares stories from his life in music in The Player, saxophonist Kevin Figes reveals his musical Turning Point, and pianist Eddie Gripper selects the albums he can’t live without in Takes Five. All this, plus the UK’s biggest jazz album reviews section, news, and gig guide.
