![]() Read (199) Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. Man what a wild ride. It was an amazing read, and as Miles would say, "this book is a motherfucker." I loved reading about the New York jazz scene in the 40's and 50's. There are so many fascinating stories about all the legendary musicians. Also really loved hearing about Miles creative process and background for some of my favorite albums of all time. You also get to hear Miles' no nonsense takes on things like racism, drug use, music, leading a band, playing trumpet, etc, all in Miles' distinctly authentic voice. Anybody who is a fan of music (especially jazz) should read this one. ( ![]() What a motherfucker of an autobiography. Been listening to this audiobook as I go to sleep and it is just the best. The reader does a pretty great old-Miles-scratchy-voice. I wonder if there's ever been a book with more "motherfuckers" in it. I fell asleep for big parts of it, but I've been thinking of it as a kind of atmospheric / meditation record and I can't recommend it enough. The best music autobiography ever? Yes, quite definitely. Entertaining beyond question. I think I've read this three times now, and will probably read it 2-3 times more before I die. Read this probably 25 years ago, needed to revisit. Famously honest (or blunt anyway, who knows if he's telling the truth), the last few chapters are tough. All the talk about smacking women around, etc. One of the great musicians in the nation's history, also one of the great narcissist/borderline sociopaths. He revolutionized music on 5 occasions. Next to Glass & Reich and ArvoPärt, this man’s work was a marked transition in my life. Reading his story opened up the narrative of jazz in my world. I had never read the words“M***F**” so many times in my life. I read it every few years. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
