Milestones: The Music And Times Of Miles Davis

This invaluable biography of trumpeter and jazz-bebop-fusion innovator Miles Davis (1926–1991) includes a substantial new introduction that for the first time details Davis's turbulent last decade; the drawing and painting that became an additional creative outlet; the musical lows of his final “Freaky Deaky€ years; the family warfare that has erupted over his last will and testament; and-in a long-awaited expos©-the truth behind Davis's so-called Autobiography, the book that “borrowed€ gigantic portions from Milestones and passed them off as Davis's. Jack Chambers breaks his silence to discuss the extent of the “borrowing€ and who was responsible. Here is the last word on the music and controversial life of Miles Davis.
