What was Miles Davis' Height?

Miles Davis, precisely 5ft 6 (167.6 cm) tall, commanded the jazz world with a presence far grander than his stature suggested. His compact frame enhanced his sleek, iconic style, allowing him to embody the cool sophistication of bebop and modal jazz.

• Pioneered cool jazz with albums like Birth of the Cool, where his height lent an air of understated intensity to his trumpet mastery.
• Revolutionized fusion with Bitches Brew, his diminutive yet dynamic build mirroring the explosive creativity in his performances.
• His 5ft 6 height contrasted sharply with his larger-than-life influence, inspiring the annual Miles Davis Jazz Festival since 2005.

Key recordings such as Miles Davis Quartet and Volume 2 showcased performances he deemed 'very important,' amplified by the charisma defying his exact height.
