"It's hard to imagine a more ideal writer for this projectIt's About That Time brings fresh insight to a lifetime of music and can help even a longtime connoisseur hear it in a whole new way."--Steve Greenlee, The Boston Globe "Cook hangs It's About Time on his own bandstand-cozy judgements, which are nearly as colorful as the late Whitney Balliett's and as impassioned as Gary Giddins'."--Jay Harvey, The Indianapolis Star "A fascinating new portrait of the protean horn man, which offers detailed and perceptive analysis of the trumpeter's key albums."--Charles Waring, Mojo "Outstanding."--David Isaacson, Word "The real reasons why there was never anyone cooler than Miles becomes clear."--Observer "Valuable a systematic and comprehensive examination of Davis's recordings, objective to a fault as Cook unpicks them and engages in a sustained exercise of close listening which reveals Davis's creations not to float serenely above and apart from his turbulent life, but very much subject to the circumstances in which they were made the author's manifest expertise and anecdotal knowledge make him an extremely reliable guide through Davis's back catalogue. It's About That Time is suitable both for those entirely new to Davis or those steeped in him."--David Stubbs, Wire "Cook characteristically shines a light into unconsidered corners and magnifies details to reveal the key importance of what might otherwise seem minor gestures This book will not only make tyros want to hear the records, but will send Antediluvian Davis admirers like me rushing to remind ourselves of forgotten minutiae, weigh our assessments against Cook's, or just savour favourite moments again. Bigfun!"--Barry Witherden, BBC Music Magazine "Cook is a jazz expert who scrutinizes 14 key recordings by the great trumpeter-composer. Along the way, readers get an insider's view of Davis the private man." --Allen Pierleoni, Sacramento Bee, "Few authors capture the mystery of improvised music as succinctly as British critic Richard Cook."--Matthew Lurie, Time Out: Chicago, "Cook characteristically shines a light into unconsidered corners andmagnifies details to reveal the key importance of what might otherwise seemminor gestures This book will not only make tyros want to hear the records, butwill send Antediluvian Davis admirers like me rushing to remind ourselves offorgotten minutiae, weigh our assessments against Cook's, or just savourfavourite moments again. Big fun!"--Barry Witherden, BBC Music Magazine, "Valuable a systematic and comprehensive examination of Davis'srecordings, objective to a fault as Cook unpicks them and engages in a sustainedexercise of close listening which reveals Davis's creations not to floatserenely above and apart from his turbulent life, but very much subject to thecircumstances in which they were made the author's manifest expertise andanecdotal knowledge make him an extremely reliable guide through Davis's backcatalogue.

He gets inside the music and makes it palpable. Like the great American jazz critic Whitney Balliett (1926-2007), Cook had the knack, the knowledge, and the poetry to discern and elucidate the mystery of jazz without desiccating its flesh, blood, and neural pathways. Cook's insightful and literate provides listeners familiar with the music of Miles Davis new listening angles, and those unfamiliar with his music valuable reference points from which to start listening."-Laurence Svirchev, American Music "Though he didn't set out to write the definitive take on Miles Davis's discography, jezz expert Cook has done just that.... Cook's thoughtful, illuminating criticism and boundless knowledge of his subject make this a rich and satisfying read for jazz aficionados and novices alike."--Publishers Weekly [starred review] "Few authors capture the mystery of improvised music as succinctly as British critic Richard Cook."--Matthew Lurie, Time Out: Chicago "Cook's strength is wittily showing, with lots of fresh observations, how Davis's music was a continual journey."--New York Sun "A worthy overview of his career and music."--New York Sun "It's hard to imagine a more ideal writer for this projectIt's About That Time brings fresh insight to a lifetime of music and can help even a longtime connoisseur hear it in a whole new way."--Steve Greenlee, The Boston Globe "Considering its scope, About That Time is a fast and breezy read."--New York Sun "Cook hangs It's About Time on his own bandstand-cozy judgements, which are nearly as colorful as the late Whitney Balliett's and as impassioned as Gary Giddins'."--Jay Harvey, The Indianapolis Star "A fascinating new portrait of the protean horn man, which offers detailed and perceptive analysis of the trumpeter's key albums."--Charles Waring, Mojo "Outstanding."--David Isaacson, Word "The real reasons why there was never anyone cooler than Miles becomes clear."--Observer "Valuable a systematic and comprehensive examination of Davis's recordings, objective to a fault as Cook unpicks them and engages in a sustained exercise of close listening which reveals Davis's creations not to float serenely above and apart from his turbulent life, but very much subject to the circumstances in which they were made the author's manifest expertise and anecdotal knowledge make him an extremely reliable guide through Davis's back catalogue.

Synopsis
Here is quite simply one of the most original books about a jazz musician ever published--a biography-cum-discography that focuses in turn on fourteen major albums recorded by Miles Davis, using them as a jumping off point for an illuminating discussion of the turbulent life and work of the "Evil Genius of Jazz." Richard Cook, a veteran writer respected throughout the jazz world, looks at such landmark recordings as Birth of the Cool, Miles Ahead, Kind of Blue, The Complete Live at The Plugged Nickel, In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew , and Live at Montreux . Each of these recordings is considered in detail, illuminating their contribution to Davis's development as instrumentalist, group leader, and composer. But Cook goes well beyond these fourteen albums, evaluating all the trumpeter's recordings (official and bootleg), and relating them to events in Miles's life as well as to wider currents in contemporary music. Cook helps us disentangle Miles the legendary figure from the music itself, to re-hear and reconsider this marvelous body of work ranging over four exhilarating decades. The author also highlights the indispensable contributions of sidemen such as John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin, John Scofield, and many others, as well as calling for a reassessment of the importance of such "satellite" figures as Gil Evans, Bill Evans, Wayne Shorter, Tony Williams and Chick Corea in the development of Miles's music. A comprehensive and rigorous guide to the music and life of Miles Davis, It's About That Time is a stunning book that burns away the fog of myth that surrounds its complex and contrary subject., Here is quite simply one of the most original books about a jazz musician ever published--a biography-cum-discography that focuses in turn on fourteen major albums recorded by Miles Davis, using them as a jumping off point for an illuminating discussion of the turbulent life and work of the "Evil Genius of Jazz."

    Great seller! Item is what I ordered; good communication; shipped promptly; good value. NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).
