about the artist

 

MILES JAYE Davis, like his namesake, legendary trumpeter Miles Davis, is one of music's most gifted, distinctive and dynamic artists. MILES has enjoyed a brilliant career spanning more than 25 years; electrifying audiences internationally in countries such as Australia, Burma, Columbia, England, France, Holland, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Peru, and Switzerland. He has also performed extensively throughout the continental United States and Hawaii.

Jaye; best known for his fiery, passionate vocals, turns the heat up even higher with his red hot electric violin stylings; further establishing him as one of the days most gifted musicians. While he is an accomplished, classically trained violinist, he is also highly proficient on a wide variety of other instruments such as piano, flute, saxophone, guitar, upright string bass and bass guitar.


A native New Yorker, Jaye was introduced to world travel during his five year stint in the U.S. Air Force. Upon returning to New York he established himself as one of the most sought after side men on the scene. After touring with jazz guitarist Eric Gale, songstress Phyllis Hyman and a world tour as the top cop in the pop group Village People; Jaye set out on his own.


As a writer, Miles has penned and recorded more than 40 original compositions and has the distinction of recording 12 different instruments on several of his critically acclaimed CDs. This classically-trained violinist has also produced seven chart-topping hits and enjoys a reputation as an R&B and Contemporary Jazz writer.

Signing with soul legend Teddy Pendergrass' Top Priority Label under Island and Atlantic Records, Jaye's debut CD MILES, is now a classic and can be regularly heard on classic soul stations around the world.

Over the course of his illustrious career, Jaye has had the distinction of performing, recording or sharing the stage with other celebrated artists such as Nancy Wilson, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, B.B. King, Grover Washington, Jr., Roy Ayers, Phyllis Hyman, Patti LaBelle, Roberta Flack, George Duke, Branford Marsalis, Najee, Kirk Whalum, Alex Bugnon, Rachelle Ferrell, Will Downing, Gerald LeVert, Vicki Winan, CeCe Winan, Phil Perry, Tony Terry and many more.

Miles continues to write and perform.

Happy Mother's Day Message from Miles Jaye

 Happy Mother's Day wishes are extended to all Moms across the globe who have enriched our individual lives, our communities and our nations. Mothers shape the world!

 
A special Mother's Day greeting to those of us whose Mom's are no longer here to share the day with us but live on in our memories, our spirits and deep in our hearts.
 
We extend heartfelt Happy Mother's Day wishes to victims of the Alabama tornadoes. You have not been forgotten or overshadowed by a royal wedding or the demise of a notorious terrorist. You may no longer hold the front page or the lead story on the evening news but you have not been forgotten - you are in our every prayer.
 
If you haven't already; add Michele Obama and Grandma - two of the most notable moms in American history - to your prayers.
 
A loving mother is arguably the world's most precious resource and our best hope for humanity. Remember as many moms as you can and give them a call, send a card, an e-mail or a text.
 
Finally, extend a Happy Mother's Day greeting to a complete stranger - regardless of race - it may be her only smile of the day.
 
Peace and blessings!
Miles

Check out the new music from Miles Jaye

The central theme of this collection is love and the many questions a discussion about love may bring. Is there a finite truth or do the many facets of love remain a mystery to us, posing questions that may never be answered. Do we each find our own answers? our own truths?

This collection is a love offering, so enjoy the music and ponder your own answers to the infinite questions on THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE.
