Documentary profile of the jazz bandleader, horn player and innovator whose restless determination to break boundaries and live life on his own terms made him a star, but also made him difficult to live with. In music and in life, Davis shied away from the status quo, and when he thought his work came to represent a new convention, he changed it again. Featuring studio out-takes, archive footage and photos and Davis's own words, as well as contributions from many friends and colleagues
