Happy 85th Birthday to Miles Davis!

His fans will make the pilgrimage to his monument in Woodlawn Cemetery today where he is buried near jazz greats Duke Ellington, Celia Cruz, and Illinois Jacquet.

An alternative design for his monument can be found in Avery Library’s Drawings & Archives Woodlawn Cemetery archive.
