About this ebook
A special centennial edition of Miles Davis’s classic memoir Miles—the singular story of a jazz legend, now reintroduced by Nas and Hanif Abdurraqib.
Universally acclaimed as a musical genius, Miles Davis was one of the most important and influential musicians in the world. Here, Miles speaks out about his extraordinary life.
Miles: The Autobiography, like Miles himself, holds nothing back. He speaks frankly and openly about his drug problem and how he overcame it. He condemns the racism he encountered in the music business and in American society generally. And he discusses the women in his life. But above all, Miles talks about music and musicians, including the legends he has played with over the years: Bird, Dizzy, Monk, Trane, Mingus, and many others. The man who gave us some of the most exciting music of the twentieth century here gives us a compelling and fascinating autobiography, featuring a concise discography and thirty-two pages of photographs.
This special centennial anniversary editions features a new cover and new forewords by Nas and Hanif Abdurraqib, speaking on how Miles shaped the cultural fabric of America
