Miles Davis

Miles Davis died of a stroke, which was a result of the AIDS infection. He was addicted to alcohol and heroin off and on throughout his life, so not terribly surprising, but very sad.

From Hapkidoman: Although it was never proved that Miles Davis died of AIDS, there were indications that he had. He was very sensitive to the subject and would get irate at the mention of it. In his autobiography (Miles: The Autobiography) he says "That made me madder than a [MF'er]...it wasn't true of course." In an article written in 1989, Davis indicated that his ex-wife, Cicely Tyson may have spread that rumor (of him contracting AIDS).

If Davis did have AIDS, it most likely came from the years of heroin abuse or the blood transfusions that he endured rather than homosexual encounters.

To name just a few of the most important: Red Garland (album: Workin', Steamin', Cookin', Relaxin'; all four recorded 1956), followed by Bill Evans (Kind Of Blue, 1959), later on Herbie Hancock (Four & More, My Funny Valentine; 1964). When he got into fusion Miles started playing with up to three different keyboarders on stage at the same time, namely Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea and Joe Zawinul.

Star Mute by Emo Harmon. That was a harmon (aka wah wah) type and "Harmon" brand mute. Now Emo makes this under the name:

HARMON 5194 WOW TRUMPET MUTE B MODEL

of course Miles played without the stem.

Earlier in his career he had used another mute, which was not a harmon but a straight one. That was an "H&B". That's all I know.
