MILES AND ME
By Quincy Troupe
University of California Press, 189 pages, $19.95
Many memoirs of friendships with famous people tend toward the sycophantic and predictable, but Quincy Troupe’s “Miles and Me” is a vivid, complicated tribute to the legendary jazz musician. Troupe, a poet, collaborated on Davis’ autobiography, and the experience was instructive. Though he remained in awe of Davis’ skills, he also learned about the musician’s often irascible nature and stubbornness.
