Özet
 Miles to Go is a frank and intimate exploration of Miles Davis' eccentric working life, drug habits, paranoia, depression, and subsequent recovery. Murphy explores Davis' troubled relationship with his children and the controversial role Cicely Tyson played in his life. The book also delves into the dynamics that made Davis' band work so well together, placing Davis' work in a historic, literary, and musical framework.

Willie Nelson, Mick Jagger, Jimi Hendrix, and a very unlikely Mother Teresa all have walk-on parts in this engaging, intelligent, and often hilarious narrative. Miles to Go takes us from the small seedy jazz clubs that Davis frequented to the world tours, and then finally to Davis' triumphant return with his celebrated concerts at Lincoln Center in the early 1980s.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Murphy portrays Miles as funny, loyal, and generous, but lonely and often depressed, struggling with the pressures of his career and chaotic personal life during what was a difficult era for a jazz musician." (Booklist)

Often when people from any entourage view their participation in legends life, they blow their part out of proportions and make assumptions that are often unverified and highly opinionated, as opposed to strictly factual...This is the case here as well, but it doesn't mean it isn't worth a listen, it also creaks open a door to the world of Miles Davis through backstage.

One view into the life of a legend - but biased one.

Drivel nonsense and unbelievably dull. Couldn’t wait for it to end.
I’ve had more fun listening to my grandparents go at it.
Murphy shat in my ears for 7 hours.

No thanks

If you’re already a big fan of Miles, have read the autobiography, heard the memories of band members and so on, then this is a really nice addition. Chris Murphy shows the personal side of Davis from the perspective of road manager and friend. I really enjoyed this.

Great for fans
