Description

Two years after his death. The heated performance scenes, that beastly look in his eyes, his true face at home and at his villa... The world's first and greatest collection of photographs of Miles Davis, a rare human being who lived and breathed jazz, brought back to life through ten years of close-up interviews.

Two years have passed since Miles Davis, the 'King of Jazz', passed away. In the jazz world, which has been dominated by Miles, with the release of memorial albums and unpublished songs, photographer Shigeru Uchiyama, who closely followed Miles for 12 years until his death, brings back to life the real Miles, not only in performance scenes but also at his home and villa, in a strong, intense and gentle way, which he never showed us before. Special contributions by Sadao Watanabe and Terumasa Hino. The first and last "Miles Photo Album" in the world.

A collection of photographs that passionately, fiercely and tenderly depict the true face of the king of jazz, a face he has never shown before. We're not saying goodbye to Miles any more.

A collection of works by Japanese photographer Shigeru Uchiyama "Miles Smiles Miles Davis Photobook". Born in Osaka in 1951, after graduating from Tokyo Polytechnic University (currently Tokyo Polytechnic University), he started working as a freelancer. With the invitation of, I will become a journalist who keeps chasing jazz musicians. Since then, he has been active as an assignment for music magazines such as "Swing Journal" and as an exclusive photographer for jazz clubs such as "Blue Note". This book was published in 1993 after his death, and was composed of photographs of the jazz scene master "Miles Davis", which was taken for nearly 10 years from the beginning of 1980. Just before he started shooting jazz in 1975, Miles went into a long rest and rest, but in 1980 a miracle revived. After that, I frequently visited overseas live scenes to build a relationship of trust, and finally, with the word "Your Photographer", I built a relationship of trust that would allow me to enter the hotel room of Miles. In this book, not only live scenes but also many valuable off-shots are recorded, and Uchiyama spells out memories with Miles in detail.
