Description

We Want Miles: Miles Davis vs. Jazz is a book and exhibition catalog curated by Vincent Bessières and Franck Bergerot, published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name. This exhibition, organized by the Cité de la Musique in Paris, celebrated the life, music, and legacy of Miles Davis.

Key Points about the Book and Exhibition:

  • Curation: The exhibition and book were developed by Bessières and Bergerot, both musicologists and writers who specialize in jazz. They presented Davis' work not just as part of the jazz tradition, but as an ongoing "confrontation" or conversation with the genre, hence the "vs. Jazz" framing.

  • Content: The book explores Davis' career across multiple chapters, each corresponding to key phases in his evolution:

    • His early days with bebop,
    • His innovations in cool jazz,
    • His modal jazz breakthroughs,
    • His pioneering work in jazz fusion,
    • His later explorations into electric and experimental sounds.
