Meeting Miles Davis

Picture this: You're backstage at Blue Note, the Grammy you just won is still warm in your hands, and Miles Davis walks up with a story that changes everything. I'm Todd Coolman, and for 50 years I've collected moments like these from jazz clubs to concert halls around the world. Each episode, I'll share the untold stories behind the music—the late-night conversations, the musical breakthroughs, the life lessons learned on stages from New York to Tokyo. If you've ever wondered what really happens both on and off stage, welcome to my world. toddcoolman.substack.com
