The Blues

The Blues

When I hear the blues,
it makes me think about my grandmother,
because she used to listen to it all the time.
I think that Miles Davis was a good musician,
and I hear the saxophone in his music.

I like that sound.

Today we learned that Miles Davis was a blues and a jazz musician.
He was born on May 25, 1926, and he studied at the Julliard School.
He joined the be-bop band of Charlie Parker in 1945.
I liked listening to his music very much.
