Reservoir Media, Inc. (NASDAQ:RSVR), an award-winning independent music company, today announced the acquisition of Miles Davis' publishing catalog, as well as rights to his recorded music. Reservoir will also partner with the estate on name and likeness opportunities.
Ahead of the Miles Davis Centennial in 2026, Reservoir is joining the estate, overseen by his daughter Cheryl Davis, his son Erin Davis, and his nephew and musical collaborator Vincent Wilburn Jr., along with general manager Darryl Porter and Attorney Jeff Biederman, to pursue and collaborate on celebrations commemorating the 100th anniversary of Davis' birth. The Centennial will feature a variety of events, special programming, high-profile tributes and concerts, marketing collaborations, and other celebrations curated by Reservoir, the Miles Davis Estate, and various other partners.
Activations set to launch next year and beyond include: a feature film entitled Miles & Juliette recounting Davis' love affair with Juliette Greco, developed in partnership with River Road Entertainment and Mick Jagger's Jagged Films; a live, international symphonic show, which pairs Davis' iconic sound with original orchestrations and cherished footage, giving audiences an opportunity to experience his enduring legacy in a brand new way; and an M.E.B. (formerly Miles Electric Band) international tour including the Miles Davis Centennial Celebration with four nights of special programming at SFJazz in March. In recent years, the Miles Davis Estate has produced a broad range of content and events, including the Emmy Award-winning documentary, Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool, and We Want Miles, a major traveling retrospective exhibition exploring Davis' musical and visual artistry.
Davis is regarded as one of the most influential artists of all time. He was consistently at the forefront of music innovation, whether revisiting his own sound and making masterful adjustments to his artistry, or driving forward-thinking stylistic revolutions to blend and create genres. With over 60 studio albums to his name, as well as another 60+ live albums, box sets, compilations, and soundtracks, Davis had an enduring and widely acclaimed career that earned him eight Grammys, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Throughout his five decades as an active artist, Davis collaborated with countless other jazz powerhouses. He became a renowned bandleader, with a unique ability to attract, assemble, and cultivate world-class talent who frequently pushed the bounds of what audiences expected.
Davis' sonically diverse cache of studio albums includes revolutionary records like Birth of the Cool (1957 album that moved jazz away from the bebop sound), Kind of Blue (1959 album certified 5x-Platinum and dubbed the best-selling jazz album of all time), and Bitches Brew (1970 avant-garde jazz album embracing electronic and rock elements). Both Kind of Blue and Bitches Brew have been selected by the National Recording Registry as culturally significant works, and Kind of Blue featured at #12 on Rolling Stone's list of "The Greatest Albums of All Time." Beyond music, Davis was also a notable fine artist and profoundly influenced fashion and popular culture, earning a reputation as the epitome of "cool." To this day, he remains a pillar of music history and culture at large, and his impact continues to radiate across the globe.
