Miles Davis was far more than just another jazz musician. He was a primary reference for the jazz culture of performers and audiences of his day and a man whose influence on the jazz community continues down to the present time. In Miles Davis And American Culture, Gerald Early has assembled an impressive collection of essays on the world, work, and life of Miles Davis. From Early's opening essay "The Art of the Muscle: Miles Davis as American Knight and American Knave" to Benjamin Cawthra's "Remembering Miles in St. Louise: A Conclusion", Miles Davis And American Culture is a compendium of cogent, illuminating, and occasionally challenging descriptions, analyses, and commentaries on a great icon of American jazz -- and a "must" for students of jazz history, as well as Miles Davis' legions of fans.

This book is a sleeper that will ultimately find its place among the best books on race, children, and Black-Jewish relationships in post War America. Unlike so many books that relie on the invented memory of a few primary actors, this scholarly account closely follows the crisis among Blacks and Jews through the experiences of children. Besides being an excellent political biography of Mamie and Kenneth Clark, the book is a troubling journey into the lives of the children of the great black migration. Despite its seemingly narrow focus, this is a rich narrative account of recent American history.

This book contains many recipes I have made for years. I was surprised to see them in one collection! I look forward to trying the others I do not already make and expect they will be delicious. Instructions are clear and simple. Photos are lovely.
