The Last Miles: The Music of Miles Davis, 1980-1991 Paperback - 2007

by George Cole


From the publisher

"Cole does for Miles's late work what Ian MacDonald's Revolution in the Head does for the Beatles, examining each album in meticulous detail."
--Time Out

"As with any good musical biography, Cole . . . made me think again about those albums such as Siesta, You're Under Arrest, and The Man with the Horn that are now stashed in my attic."
--London Times

"In the flurry of books since [Miles Davis's] death, none has dealt in depth with the music of this period. Music writer George Cole fills this gap. . . . a rich and rewarding read."
--Gazette (Montreal)

"A fascinating book."
--Mojo

"A singular look into the last stage of Davis's long, somewhat checkered career gained from various sources, which at the same time gives a picture of the modern music business."
--Midwest Book Review

"There are large chunks of fresh material here. . . . Fill[s] in quite a few gaps and dismisses blanket condemnations of [Miles's] pop phase."
--Jazzwise

"Thank you for telling it like it was!"
--Randy Hall, singer and guitarist

"Very moving, emotional material."
--Gordon Meltzer, Miles's last road manager and executive producer of Doo-Bop
