This book about Miles Davis is more psychologically driven than a
straight biography; but it does cover his musical career, as well
his spirituality as a jazz musician. Davis rocketed to jazz fame as
a trumpeter, making a plethora of jazz recordings during his life
time; and his music kept the "jazz world" on edge for almost fifty
years. This book also discusses Davis's religion, politics, civil
rights activism, and his personal struggles as a Black man in the
United States. Miles Davis and Jazz as Religion: The Politics of
Social Music also shows how Miles Davis made a political statement,
as he challenged racial stereotypes in jazz or "social music."
Artistically, Davis was able to integrate rock, jazz, classical
music, rap and blues, in his music, as he had a passion for
changing his "social music." In this regard, Miles Davis's music
was important to him intellectually, spiritually, and
psychologically, because he wanted to make his musical
contributions count.
