Celebrating Black History: Timeless music legends
The unforgettable and forever celebrated faces
Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy Hendrix, a true rockstar of the 1960s era, is celebrated as one of the most critical artists of American history. Not only did Hendrix teach the world how to feel soul and psychedelic emotion in music, but that anything (even the Star Spangled Banner) could sound absolutely incredible on an electric guitar. He stood for keeping the horizons wide and welcoming alternative mediums of melody.
Miles Davis
The jazz connoisseur Miles Davis, acclaimed across the globe as the most influential leader of the genre, began his musical journey in the heart of New York City. There's hardly need for much more introduction for Davis, who’s won nine Grammy Awards, multiple Hall Of Fame titles and the Lifetime Achievement Award. Enjoy one of his most famous performances below.
