Klappentext
Davids s story is one of the most fascinating in 20th -century popular culture and Ian Carr has told it brilliantly. This book is an update of Carr s 1982 biography and its claim to be definitive is entirely accurate. It is a superb piece of work that is unlikely to be bettered. Research,writing and critical evaluation are uniformly excellent Davis came of age during the jazz upheavals of the 1940s when he partnered the wayward and brilliant alto saxophonist Charlie Parker. He soon developed into the immensely influential pioneering spirit he remained for the rest of his life His music has been constantly reissued and repackaged and endlessly analysed. But nobody has brought as much insight to it as Carr whose magnificent biography should be on the shelves of anyone who has ever enjoyed Miles Davis s music.
