DOI: 10.1558/equinox.18859

Blurb:

The story of Miles Davis is not a rags-to-riches tale. It is not about the poor boy who managed to escape from the ghetto to become one of the most inuential artists of the twentieth century. But it is about a man whose talent, courage, instinct, intuition and determination enabled him to change the face of jazz at least four times.
