In the photo, Miles Davis is captured playing his trumpet with an intense look on his face. The photo from 1967 is taken from the front angle, and Davis is seen playing his instrument with his head tilted slightly back, and his lips pursed as he blows into the trumpet. The photo is captured in black and white, and the background is very dark, causing Miles Davis to blend in with the background, with his trumpet being the only thing that is really visible. The overall effect of the photo is one of drama, with the focus entirely on Miles Davis and his music.
