This photobook, published in 1983, is the earliest among the many Miles Davis photobooks released over the years. It features intimate photographs taken during Miles' visit to New York in March of that year. Supervised and written by jazz journalist Noriyoshi Koyama and photographed by Makoto Hata, this book provides a close look at the legendary jazz artist.

Other notable Miles Davis photobooks include Miles Smiles: Miles Davis Photo Book (1993) by Shigeru Uchiyama, No Picture! (2016), I Loved Him Madly (2016) by Tadayuki Naito, and Miles in Savoi (1984) by Tsutomu Hirasaya. However, this 1983 publication remains a standout as the earliest documentation.

Dimensions: 21.5 × 30 cm.
