Born into an upper-middle-class family in Alton, Illinois, and raised in East St. Louis, Davis is among the most influential and acclaimed figures in the history of jazz and 20th-century music. Davis adopted a variety of musical directions in a roughly five-decade career that kept him at the forefront of many major stylistic developments in jazz. The following audio recordings are from a 1953 radio interview in East St. Louis and a 1984 television interview in Norway.
