Milestones The Music and Times of Miles Davis review ¾ 103 This invaluable biography of trumpeter and jazz bebop fusion innovator Miles Davis 1926–1991 includes a substantial new introduction that for the first time details Davis’s turbulent last decade; the drawing and painting that became an addition. Ultimately this book kind of pissed me off It s certainly thorough so there s that But the writing is really dull Chambers goes into excessive detail of every recording session ever yet never manages to capture who Davis WAS It s a lot of facts and in many cases those facts are interesting but you need to make a compelling story You need a PERSON at the center and Miles never uite shows up in this bookAnother major problem is the way Chambers though he tries hard to write in a flat objective style trashes the music he doesn t personally like So Miles s output from 72 to 75 is described objectively yet Chambers makes sure we know how worthless it all wasWhich is the standard opinion of the times among the jazz mafia of whom Chambers is obviously one That is people who know what jazz is and who were somehow deeply wounded by Miles playing something else in the 70s These people are all the same and it s tiresome to hear their idiot opinions over and over again He sold out they say of the insane uniue wild music that didn t sell and that critics despised I think they re a bit unclear on the conceptMaybe they just couldn t help themselves The book was written in 83 and it wasn t until the 90s that Miles s 70s music was finally seen for what it is fucking genius Like he traveled to the future and brought back the electronic sounds of the 90s and 00s and recreated it with musicians in the 70sSo yeah The book was informative enough to keep me going but to hell with Chambers and his jazz elitism Music is music and Miles was a genius The Fifth Week really dull Chambers goes into excessive detail of every Find the Constellations recording session ever yet never manages to capture who Davis WAS It s a lot of facts and in many cases those facts are interesting but you need to make a compelling story You need a PERSON at the center and Miles never uite shows up in this bookAnother major problem is the way Chambers though he tries hard to write in a flat objective style trashes the music he doesn t personally like So Miles s output from 72 to 75 is described objectively yet Chambers makes sure we know how worthless it all wasWhich is the standard opinion of the times among the jazz mafia of whom Chambers is obviously one That is people who know what jazz is and who were somehow deeply wounded by Miles playing something else in the 70s These people are all the same and it s tiresome to hear their idiot opinions over and over again He sold out they say of the insane uniue wild music that didn t sell and that critics despised I think they Ensuring Information Assets Protection re a bit unclear on the conceptMaybe they just couldn t help themselves The book was written in 83 and it wasn t until the 90s that Miles s 70s music was finally seen for what it is fucking genius Like he traveled to the future and brought back the electronic sounds of the 90s and 00s and Mr. Monster recreated it with musicians in the 70sSo yeah The book was informative enough to keep me going but to hell with Chambers and his jazz elitism Music is music and Miles was a genius
