Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is OUT OF PRINT and a classic memoir by jazz musician MILES DAVIS--the book is a 2012 Picador softcover issue. This book is in SUPERB condition and has three slight creases on the spine edge and just slight shelfwear but NO other significant imperfections! The book is titled Miles: The Autobiography and it was written by MILES DAVIS with QUINCY TROUPE; it was published by Picador in 2012 and is a 2nd Printing with a publication line reading 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2.Universally acclaimed as a musical genius though considered by many a loathsome human being, Miles Davis was one of the most important and influential musicians in the world. Here, Miles speaks out about his extraordinary life. Miles: The Autobiography, like Miles himself, holds nothing back. For the first time Miles talks about his five-year silence. 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, yet expresses racist and sexist attitudes himself on nearly every page. And he discusses the women in his life--most of whom he violently abused, both physically and psychologically. 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. A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
