This review is from: The Miles Davis Companion: Four Decades of Commentary (Paperback)

the title says it all.four deacdes of commentary.how many artists of today will get 4 years let alone 40? there was only one miles davis.who used his music wisely and took risks.now this book has commentary favorable&negative about his vast body of work.very interesting feelings from both perspectives.i believe all artists deserve this kind of feedback if they earn it.and believe me very few will ever get to miles davis's level.must have book.
