Book Synopsis



A special Centennial Edition of Miles Davis' classic memoir MILES - the singular story of a jazz legend, now reintroduced by Nas and Hanif Abdurraqib.Universally acclaimed as one of the most important and influential musicians in the world, Miles Davis didn't just change jazz--he changed music itself. Published in celebration of his centennial, this special edition of Miles honors a singular artist whose restless genius reshaped culture. 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. And he discusses the women in his life. 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 20th century here gives us a compelling and fascinating autobiography, featuring new forewords by Nas and Hanif Abdurraqib, as well as a concise discography and thirty-two pages of photographs. Miles: The Autobiography, like Miles himself, holds nothing back.
