About this book

Ian Carr's "Miles Davis: The Definitive Biography" examines the life and career of the renowned jazz artist Miles Davis. The book explores many aspects of Davis' life, including his early years in New York with Charlie Parker, his formation of the band "Birth of the Cool," his battle with drug addiction in the early 1950s, and his remarkable career from 1954 to 1960.

It also looks at Davis's gloomy, solitary years between 1975 and 1980 as well as his astonishing comeback to music and life. The book offers a thorough examination of his creative development, inner conflicts, and influence on jazz music.
