Book Description/Synopsis:
Here is the complete illustrated history of Miles
Davis, the world's most popular jazz trumpeter, composer, bandleader and
musical visionary. Davis is one of the most innovative, influential and
respected figures in the history of music. He's been at the forefront of bebop,
cool jazz, hard bop, modal jazz and jazz-rock fusion, and remains the favourite
and best-selling jazz artist ever, beloved worldwide. He's also a fascinating
character - moody, dangerous, brilliant. His story is phenomenal, including
tempestous relationships with movie stars, heroin addictions, police busts and
more; connections with other jazz greats like Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie,
Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane, Gil Evans, John McLaughlin and many others; and
later fusion ventures that outraged the worlds of jazz and rock.
