Gathering 30 most vital Miles Davis interviews--on his music, his
life, and his philosophy--this collection reveals the jazz icon as
a complex and contradictory man, secretive at times but
extraordinarily revealing at others. Miles was not only a musical
genius, but an enigma, and nowhere else was he so compelling,
exasperating, and entertaining as he was in his interviews, which
vary from polite to outrageous, from straight-ahead to contrarian.
Many were conducted by leading journalists like Leonard Feather,
Stephen Davis, Ben Sidran, Mike Zwerin, and Nat Hentoff; while
others have never before been printed, and are newly transcribed
from radio and television shows--making this the definitive source
for anyone wanting to really encounter the legend in print. "Miles
on Miles "collects the thirty most vital Miles Davis interviews.
Essential reading for anyone who wants to know what Miles Davis

immediacy of the dialogues collected here. Many were conducted by

defiant, elegant, uncompromising, and humorous. "Miles on Miles

really encounter the legend in print.
