Publisher's Summary
Universally acclaimed as a musical genius, 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. 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 twentieth century here gives us a compelling and fascinating autobiography.

an important document for music in the 20th centur
Wow. If you are at all a Miles Davis fan I highly recommend his autobiography. Amazing insights into the mind of a genius, music, culture, racism in America, fast living, and more. I listened to in on Audible. 14 hours of awesomeness.

Miles Davis autobiography
Extremely well read in a Miles-like voice. I appreciated the lack of censorship by keeping the expletives which were necessary to make the book credible as a Miles autobiography. I loved the book! Now, I want to listen to his recordings chronologically to see the evolution of a true artist. The musical Picasso of his time.

Rich portrait
I really enjoyed this. A great perspective on how Miles experienced his live and the jazz world. His understanding of music often seemed beyond his ability to express in words, but that only served to bring me to his discography to dig deeper. Also a fascinating an educational perspective on the struggle of black music (?) in the twentieth century. Very well read as well!
