Miles on Miles: Interviews and Encounters with Miles Davis
Author(s): PAUL MAHER
Gathering 30 most vital Miles Davis interviews - on his music, his life, and his philosophy - this collection reveals the jazz icon as a complex and contradictory man, secretive at times but extraordinarily revealing at others. Miles was not only a musical genius, but an enigma, and nowhere else was he so compelling, exasperating, and entertaining as he was in his interviews, which vary from polite to outrageous, from straight-ahead to contrarian. Many were conducted by leading journalists like Leonard Feather, Stephen Davis, Ben Sidran, Mike Zwerin, and Nat Hentoff; while others have never before been printed, and are newly transcribed from radio and television shows - making this the definitive source for anyone wanting to really encounter the legend in print.
