Soft cover. Zustand: As New. A POD copy of the First Da Capo Press edition 1998, 416pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in As New condition. "The Da Capo Press edition of this invaluable biography of trumpeter and jazz-bebop-fusion innovator Miles Davis (1926-1991) includes a substantial new introduction that for the first time details Davis's turbulent last decade; the drawing and painting that became his true creative outlet; the musical lows of his final 'Freaky Deaky' years; the family warfare that has erupted over his last will and testament; and--in a long-awaited expose--the truth behind Davis's so-called Autobiography, the book that 'borrowed' gigantic portions from MILESTONES and passed them off as Davis's. Jack Chambers breaks his silence to discuss the extent of the 'borrowing' and who was responsible. Here is the last word on the music and controversial life of Miles Davis." [publisher copy] "Absolutely FASCINATING! [MILESTONES] is certainly the most comprehensive & OBJECTIVE book I have ever read about a jazz musician--and I have read a good many of them. . . [A] wonderful book."--Baroness Pannonica de Koeningswarter-Rothschild. "[A] comprehensive critical biography [and] an indispensable turntable companion. . . Chambers succeeds in conveying the forces at work in Davis's private life--his battle against the debilitating effects of sickle-cell anemia, his many marriages, and his frequent brushes with the law and with racial prejudice real and imagined. . . Chambers deserves praise for his assiduous research as well as for his insightful criticism."--Francis Davis, New York Times Book Review. "The best book on Davis remains Chambers's painstaking and insightful MILESTONES. Admirable as a biography of the man, MILESTONES is superb as a biography of the music, as Chambers details every recording session of Davis's career, correcting received errors on personnel, etc., often with illuminating stylistic analysis. He evokes the aura of the jazz world(s) inhabited by Miles with both uproarious anecdotes and stark obituaries."--Fanfare. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.
