Reviews"As with any good musical biography, Cole had made me think again about those albums such as Siesta , You're Under Arrest , The Man with the Horn , that are now stashed in my attic." -- The London Times, "Cole does for Miles' late work what Ian Macdonald's 'Revolution In The Head' does for The Beatles, examining each album in meticulous detail." -- Time Out, "This book is a model of how these types of books should be. . . . If late-period Miles is in the readers' interest, the reader should rush out and purchase this volume. It is invaluable." -- ARSC Journal, "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, "I am really impressed by your attention to the details of all the experiences that the Chicago Group went through! I felt as though I was living through it all over again. Bravo! Thank you for telling it like it was!" --Randy Hall, singer and guitarist, "Very moving, emotional material." --Gordon Meltzer, Miles' last road manager, executive producer Doo-Bop, "George Cole's writing, his choice of references, his descriptions of many incidents--it is all so clear and respectful and shows a deep understanding." --Palle Mikkelborg, producer of Aura, "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." --Henry Berry, Midwest Book Review, "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." -- The Gazette (Montreal), "An important book. I'm sure it will enjoy great success." --Brian Priestly, The Rough Guide to Jazz, ". . . the first book to center exclusively on the music Davis made in the last decade of his life, and it is sure to satisfy the most serious Davis fans." --SirReadalot.org
