Two years ago, on jazz pianist and disc jockey Ramsey Lewis's syndicated radio show, "The Legends of Jazz," I heard that a biopic of legendary jazz trumpeter Miles Davis was in the works and that Don Cheadle was slated to portray him. That's good news for Davis fans, however I wonder if the film (if it's ever made) will mention his gay brother who Davis was not happy about, according to Quincy Troupe, Davis's biographer. It's a safe bet that Hollywood will gloss over this part of Davis's life, not wanting to offend any of his fans uncomfortable with the notion of homosexuality.
