Trumpeter Miles Davis and saxophonist John Coltrane were born in 1926. Davis was a constant innovator, making incursions into the most diverse styles. Coltrane was a standard-bearer of the avant-garde in jazz and a tireless fighter for civil rights. Both collaborated on albums that revolutionized the history of jazz and opened the door to new avenues of expression. A selection of his most outstanding creations is interpreted in this video in a decidedly Latin key.
