Dark Magus is a warts-and-all look at the real Miles Davis. As told
by his son, this book strips away the public perception of Davis
and gets down to the realities of his personality, his
relationships, and his many quirks. Dark Magus details this
enigmatic superstar's Jekyll and Hyde behavior: his swings between
sobriety and prodigious drug use; his tender family moments and his
destructive selfishness; his search for marital stability and his
obsession with young women; his exalted musical talent and his
ever-present personal demons. The author also delves into Davis'
relationships with artists such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie
and John Coltrane, as well as his role as a mentor to young
musicians, his obsession with sports, the ups and downs of his
career, and the family's turmoil over his final will. "This book is
a brilliant and engaging revelation of Miles' character through the
recollections of his oldest son. It's a book about a legendary
musician who was one of my closest friends, and a book that's
second to none." - Clark Terry
