Years ago Chan Parker, Bird's widow and Phil's ex, wrote an autobiography called My Life in E Flat. Strange that someone would choose Life in E Flat for the title of Phil's autobiography. I bet it's a good read though.

Is this the same as the PDF that he circulated before he passed when he was frustrated that no one would publish it?

This is quite a good book. Best to read it, and mentally place Phil's voice in your head, as it is Phil telling us stories.

Yes. It is only one word; "My" that is different. You would think a person who is very creative would be able to think of a better title. Chan's book is linked below:

let alone the video documentary on Phil from 2005 called "A Life in E Flat".
Chan's book preceded both in 1999.

Hmmm...

it's no accident, IMHO. Chan was pretty negative about Phil in her book; I am willing to bet this is his revenge from the after-life. It's a really crappy thing to do and kind of proves she was right.
