Miles tells it in his own words, crudely at times but honestly. The trumpeter who supposedly did not have the chops to compete with the best of the bop cats created his own music and soared to the top of the jazz heap. How he progressed from an upper middle class background to jazz musician and drug addict to leader of the pack is a fascinating story.
