Paperback. A revised edition of Carr's acclaimed biography of Miles Davis, this book sheds new light on the life and career of the jazz great. From his early days in New York with Charlie Parker to the recording of the seminal "Birth of the Cool" album and his collaborations with talents such as John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, and Cannonball Adderley, this ambitious retrospective examines all of the highlights--and a number of the lowlights--in Davis's legendary career. Miles Davis's personal life also comes under the microscope as Carr discusses his drug addiction in the early 1950s, his reclusive dark period from 1975 to 1980, and his marriage to and divorce from Cicely Tyson in the 1980s. Interviews with some of the people who knew Miles Davis and his music best, including Max Roach, Ron Carter, John Schofield, and Jack DeJohnette, provide balance to this exploration of the legacy of an artist who was controversial to the end. "Una edicion revisada de la aclamada biografia de Carr de Miles Davis, este libro arroja luz sobre la vida y carrera de la estrella del jazz. Desde sus primeros tientos profesionales en Nueva York con Charlie Parker hasta la grabacion del album fundamental "Birth of the Cool" y sus colaboraciones con talentos como John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly y Cannonball Adderley, esta retrospectiva ambiciosa examina los hitos--y un buen numero de las decepciones--de la carrera legendaria de Davis. La vida personal de Miles Davis se examina tambien, y Carr discute su adiccion a las drogas a comienzos de los anos 50, su periodo recluso desde 1975 hasta 1980 y su matrimonio a y divorcio de Cicely Tyson en los anos 80. Entrevistas con algunas de las personas que conocieron mejor a Miles Davis y su musica, incluyendo Max Roach, Ron Carter, John Schofield y Jack DeJohnette, ayudan equilibrar esta exploracion del legado de un artista que, hasta el final, fue controversial." 1984, A very good copy with age tanned pages.
