If you ever needed proof that a magazine can have a love affair
with a musician you're holding it in your hands. For EDownBeatE the
preeminent publication of the jazz world Miles Dewey Davis was one
of its most cherished subjects. Since it began covering the jazz
scene in 1939 no other artist has been more diligently chronicled
in its pages than Davis.THThe beauty of this collection is seeing
the development of an artist over time. The reviews of his music go
from quietly introducing a new talent to revering perhaps the
greatest jazz artist of his generation. The feature articles begin
with a very young very polite Davis lamenting I've worked so
little. I could probably tell you where I was playing any night in
the last three years. As he develops the interviews show Davis
gaining confidence and stature showing swagger and becoming the
over-the-top say-it-like-it-is showman that made every interview an
event.THEThe Miles Davis ReaderE compiles more than 200 news
stories feature articles and reviews by some of the greatest
writers in jazz into one volume. It delivers a patchwork of his
words and music a in the moment as they happened.THWith several
lengthy features added along with a dozen new photographs this new
edition is a beautiful series of snapshots a year-by-year ride
through the many phases of Davis as an artist and as a man.
