Miles Davis / In Pictures
Boris Vian and Miles Davis: Boris Vian was a French writer, poet, musician, singer, translator, critic, actor, inventor and engineer. He is best remembered for novels such as L’Écume des jours and L’Arrache-cœur (translated into English as ‘Froth on the Daydream’ and ‘Heartsnatcher,’ respectively). He is also known for highly controversial “criminal” fiction released under the pseudonym Vernon Sullivan and some of his songs (particularly the anti-war Le Déserteur). Vian was also fascinated with jazz: he served as liaison for, among others, Duke Ellington and Miles Davis in Paris, wrote for several French jazz-reviews (Le Jazz Hot, Paris Jazz) and published numerous articles dealing with jazz both in the United States and in France.
