Had a wonderful time visiting and learning, hats off to Lauren and Jazz for revitalizing Miles in his hometown. Expansions coming soon. Highly recommend!
As an international tourist seeking the roots of 20th century music greats, I cannot further recommend passing by this unique stop! Lauren, Jazz & the foundation have turned this seemingly quaint house into a living museum of Miles' legacy for the youth of East St. Louis and beyond. A beacon of legacy, warmth & hope for the future.
I had a wonderful time at the House of Miles East St. Louis. It was an honor to be in the house where a young Miles Davis practiced, kicking off his journey to become one of the most influential musicians of all time. Additionally, it was inspiring to hear about the amazing work being done in the community. Absolutely visit and support this wonderful place.
