A compelling few hours' reading for anyone with an interest in
20th-century music.' Kenneth Clarke, The Daily Mail Miles Davis
(1926-91) was one of the great jazz musicians, bandleaders and
composers. His recordings include several of the most acclaimed and
popular jazz album, from the relaxed style of Birth of the Cool to the
orchestral Sketches of Spain and the iconic Kind of Blue. And he never
ceased to innovate. As the 1960s moved into the 1970s, he developed a
darker, more complex sound and began increasingly to use electric
instruments. The crowning achievement of his experiments, Bitches Brew
(1969), became the bestselling jazz album of all time. In this
biography, noted jazz critic Brian Morton takes us through the musical
history of this remarkable and influential artist and illuminates the
personality behind the sound.
