Here is the illustrated history of Miles Davis, the world’s most
popular jazz trumpeter, composer, bandleader, and musical visionary.
Davis is one of the most innovative, influential, and respected figures
in the history of music. He’s been at the forefront of bebop, cool jazz,
hard bop, modal jazz, and jazz-rock fusion, and remains the favorite
and best-selling jazz artist ever, beloved worldwide.
He’s
also a fascinating character—moody, dangerous, brilliant. His story is
phenomenal, including tempestous relationships with movie stars, heroin
addictions, police busts, and more; connections with other jazz greats
like Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane, Gil
Evans, John McLaughlin, and many others; and later fusion ventures that
outraged the worlds of jazz and rock.
Written by
an all-star team, including Sonny Rollins, Bill Cosby, Herbie Hancock,
