UNIVERSALLY ACCLAIMED AS A MUSICAL GENIUS, MILES DAVIS WAS ONE OF
THE MOST IMPORTANT AND INFLUENTIAL MUSICIANS IN THE WORLD. HERE,
MILES SPEAKS OUT ABOUT HIS EXTRAORDINARY LIFE.
"M""iles: The Autobiography, "like Miles himself, holds nothing
back. He speaks frankly and openly about his drug problem and how
he overcame it. He condemns the racism he encountered in the music
business and in American society generally. And he discusses the
women in his life. But above all, Miles talks about music and
musicians, including the legends he has played with over the years:
Bird, Dizzy, Monk, Trane, Mingus, and many others.
The man who gave us some of the most exciting music of the
twentieth century here gives us a compelling and fascinating
autobiography, featuring a concise discography and thirty-two pages
of photographs.
A frank autobiography of the jazz trumpeter Miles Davis. This book records his life - the music, the women and the drugs. It talks about the white promotors and producers who exploited black musicians as well as the critics.
Following the successful release of the 40th Anniversary Editions
of Miles Daviss Bitches Brew comes a collection of nine rare live
performances recorded at the Newport Jazz Festival, nine months
before the original release of Bitches Brew, and at the Isle Of
Wight Festival four months after release. Three of the tracks
featured on the album are previously unreleased.
Bitches Brew Live offers three previously unissued tracks
recorded July 5, 1969 at Newport Jazz Festival--including the first
ever professionally-recorded live version of "Miles Runs The Voodoo
Down" and the first known recording of the revamped electric
version of "Sanctuary"--just over a month before Miles went into
the studio to record what would become his fastest selling album of
all time, Bitches Brew. Fast-forward one year to August 1970 at the
Isle of Wight Festival where Miles plays with a much more electric,
rock-oriented sound in front of 600,000 people! This incredible
full set includes the title track "Bitches Brew" and "Spanish Key"
played by Daviss remarkable all-star group captured live at the
peak of its powers--Gary Bartz (alto sax, soprano sax), Chick Corea
(electric piano), Keith Jarrett (organ), Dave Holland (bass), Jack
DeJohnette (drums), Airto Moreira (percussion).
Author Michael Azerrads original liner notes incorporate new
interviews with legendary Newport Festival founder George Wein, and
filmmaker Murray Lerner, who captured one of the most spectacular
music festivals in history on film in Message to Love: Isle of
Wight Festival.
Two unlikely lovers, Devora and Lazarus, have been banished from a
region near Memphis, Egypt, for mixing races and cultures. After
their request to hypnotize ancient clans backfires when tribal
priests respond with a magical rite, they embark on a pursuit to
free Lazarus from the form of a futuristic dog that soon leads them
into the midst of supernatural warfare. After they arrive in
Oakland, California, to conduct business with powerful forces, a
pregnant Devora and Lazarus soon realize that their unusual
experiences are just the start of a shocking chain of events
instigated by ancient customs and vampires. As they are unwittingly
separated, Devora is led to others enslaved within dark
supernatural regimes and an extraordinary ally and the new world's
first Egyptian vampire, Julius Florian. Unfortunately, he has a
rival determined to end all that is normal. Will she and Lazarus
ever be reunited?
Since it's billed as "Directions in Music by Miles Davis," it
should come as little surprise that Filles de Kilimanjaro is the
beginning of a new phase for Miles, the place that he begins to
dive headfirst into jazz-rock fusion. It also happens to be the
swan song for his second classic quintet, arguably the finest
collective of musicians he ever worked with, and what makes this
album so fascinating is that it's possible to hear the breaking
point -- though his quintet all followed him into fusion (three of
his supporting players were on In a Silent Way)...
