Miles the Autobiography by Quincy Troupe. (I can't post the image, so if someone could please help . . . . )
Great read. If you ever wanted to gain insight into Miles, the man and his music. The making of his classic albums, and the different group lineups, including John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Charlie Parker, to name but a few. This is the one! Colorful, to say the least.
