Sacramento News & Review'Miles [presented] in all his glory . . . fascinating.' popmatters.com'Provides startling insight.' Star Tribune'[A] telling bookgripping from beginning to end. You will not be able to put it down.' examiner.com'Everybody should read at least one book about Davis' life and music, and Miles on Miles is the perfect place to start.' WinstonSalem JournalProduct DescriptionGathering the 30 most vital Miles Davis interviewson his music, his life, and his philosophythis collection reveals the jazz icon as a complex and contradictory man, secretive at times but extraordinarily revealing at others. Miles was not only a musical genius, but an enigma, and nowhere else was he so compelling, exasperating, and entertaining as he was in his interviews, which vary from polite to outrageous, from straightahead to contrarian. Many were conducted by leading journalists like Leonard Feather, Stephen Davis, Ben Sidran, Mike Zwerin, and Nat Hentoff; while others have never before been printed, and are newly transcribed from radio and television showsmaking this the definitive source for anyone wanting to really encounter the legend in print.About the AuthorPaul Maher Jr. is the author of Tom Waits on Tom Waits, Jack Kerouacs American Journey, and Kerouac: His Life and Work.
