The story an about him in a cab with Charlie Parker with Parker getting a blowjob from a prostitute while eating fried chicken was a particularly memorable anecdote.
And only one of many. The book obviously never went near a PR person. Highly recommended for anyone with the slightest interest in jazz.
The Bird anecdotes are legendary, but I also enjoyed his commentary on Coltrane. Even though Trane has achieved saintly status today, Miles certainly didn't regard him that way (though he did respect his talent).
