There have been published many biographies of Miles Davis, but this is the first time the great trumpeter speaks about himself, his life and his acclaimed career. He talks about the problem of drugs in music circuits, he criticises the racism in american society and above all he talks about the music and jazz legends he played with during his career: Byrd (Charlie Parker), Dizzy, Monk, Coltrane, Mingus and many more."
(from the back cover of the book).
"Miles, The Autobiography", written by Miles Davis himself with the help of poet, publisher, journalist and professor Quincy Troupe, was first published in 1989 by Simon & Schuster.
