Sorcerer: A Life of Miles Davis
Miles Davis is one of the three or four most influential figures in the history of jazz - a musician who revolutionised music, and created not just one new sound but several.
He was also the most controversial figure in jazz history. Whether it was pushing the boundaries of music or challenging attitudes on race, whether it was testing the limits of personal freedom or expecting top dollar for his work, Miles Davis was at the forefront of artistic and social change for nearly half a century.
In 'Sorcerer: A Life of Miles Davis', George Rafael lays bare the good, the bad and the ugly in a musician and a man who’s as relevant now as ever.
It is a book that no fan of his music - whether new or old - will want to miss.
Dinghy captain/cat lover/professional Peter Lorre impersonator, George Rafael has written for such publications as Art Review, Salon, Cineaste, Film Comment and The Journal of Music. He is married and lives in London. This is his first book.
