This book about Miles Dewey Davis is more psychologically driven than a straight biography but it does cover his musical career, as well his spirituality as a jazz musician. Davis rocketed to jazz fame as a trumpeter, making a plethora of jazz recordings during his life time and his music kept the "jazz world" on edge for almost fifty years. This book also discusses Daviss religion, politics, civil rights activism, and his personal struggles as a Black man in the United States. Miles Davis and Jazz as Religion The Politics of Social Music also shows how Miles Davis made a political statement, as he challenged racial stereotypes in jazz or "social music." Artistically, Davis was able to integrate rock, jazz, classical music, rap and blues, in his music, as he had a passion for changing his "social music." In this regard, Miles Daviss music was important to him intellectually, spiritually, and psychologically, because he wanted to make his musical contributions count.
