Timed to the twentieth anniversary of Miles Davis’s death, this is the classic, unfiltered, bestselling autobiography of an American legend.

Even twenty years after he died, Miles Davis remains a giant of American music, and one of the most famous and talented jazz musicians who ever lived. Miles is his story, honest, unfiltered, and sometimes controversial.

Miles, like the artist himself, holds nothing back. 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 talks about the women in his life. But above all, Miles opines on music and musicians, including the legends he played with over the years: Bird, Dizzy, Monk, Trane, Mingus, and many others.

Called “scorching” by Vanity Fair and “riveting,” by Rolling Stone, this is no ordinary memoir.

Industry Reviews

Ishmael Reed Superior jazz writing that ranks with that of the best practitioners of the art Clive Davis President, Arista Records [Miles] was and is the master, and his book is must reading for any student or fan of music. "The Atlantic" With "Miles, " Davis proves to be his own most perceptive critic. "Vanity Fair" Scorching "San Francisco Chronicle" This is not just any book. As with everything else he has done, Davis's work as writer is likely to raise controversy. The book could well be subtitled "Miles Tells All" for this volume is crammed with juicy gossip about most of the key figures in modern jazz.
