I just ordered this from Amazon. It's been on my radar for a while.

Dark Magus (the Jekyll and Hyde life of Miles Davis) by his son Gregory. Forward by Clark Terry.

Where are my dreamers
Today & tonight.
Where are my dancers
leaping madly
whirling & screaming

Where are my women
quietly dreaming
caught like angels
on a dark porch
of a velvet ranch
dance dance dance dance
dance dance

Recently broke this out after picking up a couple of Krautrock classics.
This is THE reference source for anything Kraut.
 
Why do I drink?
So that I can write poetry

Sometimes when it's all spun out
and all that is ugly recedes
into a deep sleep
There is an awaking
and all that remains is true.
As the body is ravaged
the spirit grows stronger.

Forgive me Father for I know
what I do.
I want to hear the last Poem
of the Last Poet.


Jim Morrison
 
Just picked this one up used at Amazon;

Leader of the Band - The Life of Woody Herman
By Gene Lees

I'm truly looking forward to reading this. Herman is a big reason why I'm into Jazz, having heard his album "Giant Steps" as a high school student.
 

The cigarette burn'd
my fingertips
& dropp'd like a log
to the rug below
My eyes took trip
to dig a chick
Couch'd like a cat
at the next window
My ears assembled music
out of the swarming streets
but my mind rebelled
at the idiot's laughter
The rising frightful idiot's laughter
Cheering an army of
vacuum cleaners


Jim Morrison
