Miles Davis: The Complete Illustrated History

Miles Davis: The Complete Illustrated History By Ashley Kahn, Sonny Rollins, Bill Cosby, Herbie Hancock, George Wein, Robin D.G. Kelley, Francis Davis 2012 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 0760342628 | PDF | 71 MB The first ever illustrated history of the world’s favourite jazz musician. This is the complete history of Miles Davis, the world’s most popular jazz trumpeter, composer, bandleader and musical visionary. Constantly creating, Davis defined and then defied genres from bebop and cool jazz to hard bop and jazz-rock fusion. Davis played with some of the great jazz musicians of the 20th century; legends like Charlie Parker, Dizzie Gillespie and John McLaughlin. But the man who put his name to the world’s best-selling jazz album, Kind of Blue, had a volatile character to match his virtuoso performances. Davis’ story veers from tempestuous relationships with movie stars to heroin addiction and police busts. With contributions from jazz critics, famous fans and Davis’ former bandmates Sonny Rollins and Herbie Hancock, this illustrated history gives the inside track on the great man and his music. This is what a post would look like if a book blog was in existence!

    1. I've sent you an author invite - how about posting them individually? You can copy the image and text from avax if you're lucky!
      I did most of the Venus blog by copying from israbox, so much quicker.

  8. On this morning I had difficulty to post another book 'cause there are several posts already; so it would be necessary to go on the label list along the posts, together.

  9. "Deep in a Dream: The Long Night of Chet Baker", by James Gavin
    This first major biography of the most romanticized icon in jazz thrillingly recounts his wild ride. From his emergence in the 1950s--when an uncannily beautiful young man from Oklahoma appeared on the West Coast to become, seemingly overnight, the prince of "cool" jazz--until his violent, drug-related death in Amsterdam in 1988, Chet Baker lived a life that has become an American myth. Here, drawing on hundreds of interviews and previously untapped sources, James Gavin gives a hair-raising account of the trumpeter's dark journey. By Amazon sum up.
