"In his autobiography Jason Miles offers up-close encounters with multiple creative powerhouses including Miles Davis, Marcus Miller, Luther Vandross, Ivan Lins, Grover Washington Jr., David Sanborn, Chaka Khan, and Roberta Flack AMO. His story also opens a window on the long-gone days of costly excess in the recording industry.

Dinner every Sunday with his parents, chilling out playing old-school video games with his best friend, Ganke, crushing on brainy, beautiful poet Alicia. He's even got a scholarship spot at the prestigious Brooklyn Visions Academy. Oh yeah, and he's Spider Man. But lately, Miles's spidey-sense has been on the fritz. When a misunderstanding leads to his suspension from school, Miles begins to question his abilities. After all, his dad and uncle were Brooklyn jack-boys with criminal records. Maybe kids like Miles aren't m...

Who does your life belong to anyway? You, your family, the government, or God? Miles, his girlfriend, Colleen, and his brother, Mel, confront all these questions by walking a slippery line between personal ethics and the law. But events really ramp up when the police find Mel's body and a suicide note under dubious circumstances, with Miles and two of Mel's friends treated as suspects. The resulting cloud brings in Mel's embittered ex-wife and their two sons, and when his will confirms that Gina, Mel's girlfriend, Miles' son Jason, and Miles himself are the only heirs, his ex goes ballistic and pressures the DA for a murder indictment. Miles, meanwhile, remains haunted by his wife's death from cancer five years earlier.
If you want a closer look into what happened with Miles Davis' music in the 1980's, this is the book for you. 10 years ago I planned an updated Danish version of my dissertation "That's Right" from 1991. The project stranded because of financial shortcomings. Things have changed, and this book is a resulat of that. The dissertation looks at the music Miles Davis recorded in the 1980's. The historic context ist described. Miles Davis as an improviser is described and analysed. Focus is on "Blues", "Spanish modes", "Pop" and "Modern composition". The esthetic guidelines he used are stated. When you go to page one you are back in time in the year of 1991. A few more recent comments and explanations have been included.

Adam S. Jenkins got the main of his inspiration for this, his first novel, whilst sleeping. The whole basis for this venture was from a small part of his life, he’d like to call the ‘dream machine era’. He would genuinely go to sleep, be awoken in the night, then scurry around to find a pen, quickly before the incredible image was erased from his mind, and after a fortnight or so the story was implanted on his heart, mind and soul for ever. A character was born, the idea of a warrior, a warrior that stood for truth and honour, a warrior that was just for defence, the 'Master Disciple' was born. A New Revelation is about an apocalyptic secret that would render all civilisation as we kno...
Quincy Troupe's candid account of his friendship with Miles Davis is a revealing portrait of a great musician and an intimate study of a unique relationship. It is also an engrossing chronicle of the author's own development, both artistic and personal. As Davis's collaborator on Miles: The Autobiography,Troupe--one of the major poets to emerge from the 1960s--had exceptional access to the musician. This memoir goes beyond the life portrayed in the autobiography to describe in detail the processes of Davis's spectacular creativity and the joys and difficulties his passionate, contradictory temperament posed to the men's friendship. It shows how Miles Davis, both as a black man and an artist,...
