“Miles Davis is one of the most important cultural voices of the last hundred years.  I’m excited to add a new chapter to an already incredible creative legacy,” remarked Michael Stradford.

Beautifully designed with a choice selection of classic photos included, easy to read narrative and enjoyable stories, Stradford’s book illuminates the fashion style of one of the most misunderstood musicians of the twentieth century.

Stradford weaves stories, as told by the book’s contributors, of Miles Davis’ cool which are defined by his exquisite style and poignant music. The scintillating stories throughout the book are captivating, but yet tasteful.  The book is a must-have for Miles Davis’ fans, friends and admirers. And, for those who are not aware of this historic and artistic gentleman’s life, this book is unparallel in its viewpoint chronicling Miles Davis’ style.
