Miles The Autobiography
open our order pageMiles Davis (with Quincy Troupe)
Picador, 1990
Paperback. 430pp. b&w illustrations
£9.99

Miles The AutobiographyMiles The Autobiography, like the man himself, holds nothing back. He talks about his battles against drugs and racism, and discusses the many 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, Coltrane, Mingus and many others. The man who has given us the most exciting music of recent times has now given us a fascinating and compelling insight into his extraordinary life.

"LISTEN.The greatest feeling I ever had in my life - with my clothes on - was when I first heard Diz and Bird back in 1944. I've come close to matching the feeling of the night, but I've never quite got there. I'm always looking for it, trying to always feel it in and through the music I play..." - MILES DAVIS, My Autobiography
