Miles / L'autobiographie

Back cover

Miles Davis, the legendary musician from the Black middle class of St Louis, recounts his musical journey spanning more than forty years, from the clubs of Harlem and 52nd Street – where he crossed paths with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk and many others, to the electric years and the fusion of jazz, rock, pop and Caribbean music. And he speaks with complete candour about the trials that have marked his life: his struggles with alcohol and drugs, his illnesses, recoveries and relapses, and the racist hatred he so often faced. He overcame these obstacles thanks to the people he met – his friends, the women in his life – and, above all, thanks to his great strength of character and his passion for life and music.
