The Miles Davis Reader: Updated Edition

Frank Alkyer

If you ever needed proof that a magazine can have a love affair with a musician, you're

holding it in your hands. For DownBeat, the preeminent publication of the jazz world, Miles

Dewey Davis was one of its most cherished subjects. Since it began covering the jazz

scene in 1939, no other artist has been more diligently chronicled in its pages than Davis.

The reviews of his music go from quietly introducing a new talent to revering, perhaps, the

greatest jazz artist of his generation. The interviews show Davis gaining confidence and

stature, showing swagger and becoming the over-the-top showman that made every

interview an event. The Miles Davis Reader compiles more than 200 news stories, feature

articles, and reviews by some of the greatest writers in jazz into one volume.
