More than 20 years after his death, jazz legend Miles Davis is being honored by the U.S. Postal Service with his very own stamp. This year, the "Kind of Blue" trumpeter will be immortalized in a collection of musically-themed stamps that will also honor the singer Edith Piaf, according to The Telegraph. They will be released in partnership with the French postal service, La Poste.
Davis, one of the most innovative figures in bebop and jazz fusion, died in 1991 at age 65. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. Source: RollingStone.com |
