He did not go quietly. Publisher's noteIn this "lucid, objective account of (Davis's) musical development, Chambers masterfully reconstructs the sounds and events in Davis's life" ("Down Beat"). 40 photos. AnnotationAny biography that its subject later uses as source material can safely be called authoritative; such is the case with MILESTONES, Canadian linguistics professor and music writer Jack Chambers's deeply researched, erudite work on the jazz trumpet legend Miles Davis. As Chambers relates in his introduction, by the time Davis got around to writing his autobiography he was too debilitated by his disastrous drug habit to remember many details of his life, and so poached them from this book. As well he might: Chambers' research and his understanding of Davis's psychology elevate MILESTONES above run-of-the-mill biography. Following his subject from his origins in southern Illinois, through his musical apprenticeships at Juilliard and in the clubs of New York's 52nd St. to the flowering of his talent throughout the 1950s and '60s, Chambers' book carries us through to the early 1980s, when Davis's musical interests appeared to be on the wane in favor of a rising affinity for painting. This well-rounded depiction of Davis's life and music is both analytical and passionate in its depiction of the many levels upon which the musician existed. Chambers's work is a model of its kind.
