Focusing on one of the legendary musicians in jazz, this book
examines Miles Davis's often overlooked music of the mid-1960s with
a close examination of the evolution of a new style: post bop.
Jeremy Yudkin traces Davis's life and work during a period when the
trumpeter was struggling with personal and musical challenges only
to emerge once again as the artistic leader of his generation.
A major force in post-war American jazz, Miles Davis was a
pioneer of cool jazz, hard bop, and modal jazz in a variety of
small group formats. The formation in the mid-1960s of the Second
Quintet with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony
Williams was vital to the invention of the new post bop style.
Yudkin illustrates and precisely defines this style with an
analysis of the 1966 classic Miles Smiles.
