Book Overview
"Cole does for Miles's late work what Ian MacDonald's Revolution in the Head does for the Beatles, examining each album in meticulous detail." -- Time Out "As with any good musical biography, Cole . . . made me think again about those albums such as Siesta, You're Under Arrest, and The Man with the Horn that are now stashed in my attic." -- London Times "In the flurry of books since [Miles Davis's] death, none has dealt in depth with the music of this period. Music writer George Cole fills this gap. . . . a rich and rewarding read." --Gazette (Montreal) "A fascinating book." -- Mojo "A singular look into the last stage of Davis's long, somewhat checkered career gained from various sources, which at the same time gives a picture of the modern music business." -- Midwest Book Review "There are large chunks of fresh material here. . . . Fill[s] in quite a few gaps and dismisses blanket condemnations of [Miles's] pop phase." -- Jazzwise "Thank you for telling it like it was!" --Randy Hall, singer and guitarist "Very moving, emotional material." --Gordon Meltzer, Miles's last road manager and executive producer of Doo-Bop
