Tsai of the website Critic's Notebook reviewed the film.
* Music blogger Choon Smith offered a brief appreciation of the posthumously produced track "Fantasy" from Davis' final studio album Doo-Bop.
* A portrait of Miles Davis by photographer William Coupon is one of 70 works featured in "Art of Jazz," a multi-part, multimedia exhibit now being shown at Harvard University's Art Museums and Cooper Gallery of African & African American Art.
