About this listen

Miles Davis seemingly vanished off the face of the earth in late 1975. However, Miles himself just called it retirement. In a period in Miles Davis's life that would become known as "The Lost Years," The snowball effect of his destructive lifestyle began picking up more momentum than ever. The walls of his 700-square-foot town home were closing in on him from all sides. By 1978 Miles was barely surviving. Strung out in a constant state of manic intoxication, Miles receives a surprise visit from his eight-year-old son, who got a raw glimpse into his father's "retirement." Would it be the key to helping Miles end the cycle of destruction, or dig him deeper into the chaos?
