Jazz king Miles Davis (1926–1991) was a trumpet player who developed a series of innovative musical styles, but he also had a side as a painter. This book brings together the paintings he worked on in his later years, visually demonstrating how the improvisational and emotional expression of music was transferred to his visual works. The paintings, which mix pale colors with bold lines, exude the bouncy rhythm of the notes, the sense of melody of the melodies, and the tension and release of improvisation, and each time you turn a page, you are surprised to see the "sound" as you see it. When talking about him as a musician, most of the time we talk about his performances and recordings, but this book is a new window to understand "his inner melody" in the form of paintings. The accompanying brief commentary also touches on the motifs and background of his creations, naturally leading you to think about Miles' position in jazz and art history. This book condenses the beautiful conflicts and joys of the diversity of expressive forms musicians pursue and the creative freedom that comes from crossing those boundaries.
