So What - The Life of Miles Davis (Paperback, New Ed)

Miles Davis was one of the crucial influences in the development of modern jazz. His "Kind of Blue" is an automatic inclusion in any critic's list of the great jazz albums, the one jazz record people who own no other jazz records possess, and still sells 250,000 copies a year in the US alone. But Miles regularly changed styles, leaving his inimitable impact on many forms of jazz, whether he created them or simply developed the work of others, from modal jazz and be-bop, his seminal Quintet and his big-band work, to the jazz-funk experiments of later years. Miles not only knew and worked with everyone who was anyone in jazz, from Coltrane to Monk, he was a friend of Sartre's, lover of Juliette Greco and musical collaborator with musicians who ranged from Stockhausen to Hendrix.
