Texts On Miles Davis & John Coltrane

I stumbled by pure coincidence at this site and they dispose of some dissertations or thesises on Miles & Trane, just click on the image and it will lead you to the download link. I haven't read either of them (just started the downloads) so can't tell you anything about the content.
