Frisches und sauberes Hardcover-Exemplar in gutem Zustand mit Original-Schutzumschlag. // Texte englisch. - Miles Dewey Davis III. (* 26. Mai 1926 in Alton, Illinois; 28. September 1991 in Santa Monica, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Jazz-Trompeter, -Flügelhornist, Komponist und Bandleader und einer der einflussreichsten Jazzmusiker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Nachdem er an der sogenannten Bebop-Revolution teilgenommen hatte, beeinflusste Davis maßgeblich die Entwicklung unterschiedlicher Jazz-Stile wie Cool Jazz, Hard Bop, modalen Jazz und Jazzrock. Sowohl als Instrumentalist als auch als kreativer Geist gelang es Miles Davis, seine eigenen künstlerischen Ideen zu verwirklichen und gleichzeitig kommerziell erfolgreich zu sein. Erste Berühmtheit erlangte Miles Davis als Bebop-Jazzer und Sideman von Charlie Parker. In den 46 Jahren seines musikalischen Schaffens arbeitete er mit Musikern wie John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Joe Zawinul, John McLaughlin und Gil Evans zusammen. Da er regelmäßig talentierte Musiker, von denen er neue Impulse erwartete, in seine Band holte und ihnen Raum zur Entfaltung gab, verdanken zahlreiche Jazz-Größen ihren Durchbruch als Musiker der Zusammenarbeit mit Davis. --- INHALT / Contents: November 26, 1957, "Self, portrait by Miles Davis", interviewer George Avakian - December 1958, "An afternoon with Miles Davis", interviewer Nat Hentoff - August 1964, "Miles Davis : winner take all", interviewer Lionel Olay - January 22, 1968, "I don't have to hold the audience's hand", interviewer Arthur Taylor - May 1969, "The Miles Davis : a semi-affectionate reminiscence", interviewer John Palcewski - 1969, "Talking to Les Tompkins", interviewer Les Tompkins - March 23, 1970, "Miles of music", interviewer Hubert Saal - May 26, 1970, "A national treasure" / by Al Aronowitz - September 1970, "Faded blue flowers" / by Al Aronowitz - November 27, 1971, "The unmasking of Miles Davis", interviewer Chris Albertson - 1972, "Miles", interviewer Leonard Feather - March 21, 1973, "My ego only needs a good rhythm section", interviewer Stephen Davis - 1975, "Interview at Northern Illinois University", interviewer Jimmy Saunders - Late 1976/early 1977, "At the movies with Miles" / by Mary Bringle (April 2007) - Late 1970s, "Hangin' out with Daffy Davis" / by Eric Nisenson - August 3, 1980, "Miles Davis's house-telephone interview, N.Y.C.", interviewer Kishur Manwar - June 28, 1981, "I just pick up my horn and play", interviewer George Goodman Jr. - March 1982, "The man with the horn", interviewer Cheryl McCall - Circa mid-1980s, Excerpts from "Three anonymous interviews", interviewers unknown - September 29, 1983, "Searching for Miles : theme and variations on the life of a trumpeter", interviewer David Breskin - January 1986, "Miles Davis", interviewer Ben Sidran - May 1986, "Lightening up with the Prince of Darkness", interviewer Nick Kent - October 1987, "Miles Davis : the Picasso of invisible art", interviewer Robert L.

Riassunto:

Miles on Miles collects the thirty most vital Miles Davis interviews. Essential reading for anyone who wants to know what Miles Davis thought about his music, life, and philosophy,Miles on Miles 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 in his interviews, which vary from polite to outrageous, from straight-ahead to contrarian. Even his autobiography lacks the immediacy of the dialogues collected here. Many were conducted by leading journalists like Leonard Feather, Stephen Davis, Ben Sidran, Mike Zwerin, and Nat Hentoff. Others have never before seen print, are newly transcribed from radio and television shows, or appeared in long-forgotten magazines.

Since Miles Davis’s 1991 death, his influence has continued to grow. But until now, no book has brought back to life his inimitable voice--contemplative, defiant, elegant, uncompromising, and humorous.Miles on Miles will long remain the definitive source for anyone wanting to really encounter the legend in print.
