"Miles: The Autobiography"
Miles Davis
Davis tells the story of his life with no sanitation or whitewashing, from the drug-soaked world of music where he used, abused and quit heroin and cocaine, to the dizzying number of women that he slept with, dated, married, divorced, to his explosive views on racism in America and the music industry and his wideranging opinions of musicians from good to bad. It's quite a ride. He changed the sound of jazz and arguably modern music, several times and made some of the most important contributions to the genre in it's history. His life is not one that I would emulate, however. #whatIreadin2017
