Musical genius, visionary artist, enigma -- more than ten years after his death, Miles Davis still looms large as a cultural icon. In this, the first new biography since Davis' death, John Szwed draws on various archives and never-before-published interviews with those who knew him to produce the richest and most revealing portrait of Miles Davis to date. The shy son of a dentist from Illinois, Miles Dewey Davis III would go through several transformations before becoming the image of cool. Change, says Szwed, was the driving force in both Davis' life and music -- as quickly as he established a new direction in his music and a new identity, he would radically reinvent both. He seemed to thrive on close musical relationships -- playing with jazz greats from Charlie Parker to John Coltrane and working with Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter, and composer Gil Evans, among others -- and yet the enduring image of Davis is of a lone figure, famously turning his back on the audience. He was at the peak of his career, having achieved star status, when he withdrew from the spotlight, spending years as a recluse. These seeming contradictions fueled the myths surrounding the man, but Szwed's insights into Davis' personality and artistic creativity shed new light on his life, from his turbulent relationships to his drug use and mysterious last days. Elegantly written and carefully researched, So What is the authoritative life of an artist who was always ahead of his time.Binding Type: Paperback

A godsend!!!
Like many others have claimed, this was an absolute godsend for saving my damaged skin barrier. I have combination skin type so gel version was way more effective on my skin than the cream version and did not pill.
My only reservation is that it’s such a small amount of product for the price. I felt that I went through this bottle faster than I would have like for the price I paid.

Top 5️⃣
I’ve been really impressed with La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel B5. The lightweight gel texture feels soothing and absorbs quickly without leaving my skin greasy or sticky. It has helped calm dry, irritated areas and noticeably improved the appearance of my skin barrier after just a few uses. I especially love that it’s fragrance-free and gentle enough for sensitive skin. It layers well with the rest of my skincare routine and works great on dry patches, redness, and minor irritation. A little goes a long way

Saved my skin during the winter
Such a great multi-purpose product!! I’ll use under my eyes if my skin is dry, or if I’m using an active that I know will dry my skin. I also would slather it on during the winter if I was walking or running outside and I knew it would be windy. It really helped against windburn.

Lightweight SPF that layers well under makeup
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen feels much lighter than many high-SPF formulas I’ve tried and blends into the skin without leaving a heavy white cast. The texture spreads easily and gives a hydrated finish without feeling greasy, which makes it comfortable for everyday wear on both the face and body. I also liked that it layered well under makeup without pilling.
I used this during long outdoor days and it held up well while still feeling comfortable on the skin. The SPF 60 protection is reassuring, especially for travel, beach days, festivals, or daily sun exposure. Overall, this is a reliable sunscreen option if you want strong protection with a more wearable, skincare-like texture.
