It's been 30 years when I read the Nisenson  book from the public library but I distinctly remember thinking back then that this was a particularly weak biography... My only comparison regarding Miles biographies is the Szwed which I think is very good, similar to his Ra book in this regard...

Since various Miles biographies are mentioned here, a question to those in the know: How would you rate the "Round About Midnight" bio by Eric Nisenson rate by compasrison? I had seen its German edition at Zweitausendeins back in the day but did not feel compelled to go for it. But it now was part of that haul of jazz books I made about 6 weeks ago (and freebies are not to be sneered at anyway ).  Thanks in advance for any enlightened opinions you mave. 

Tonight and tomorrow.

That Chester Thompson record is killer (weakish trombone notwithstanding), should anybody wonder and/or should it be available anywhere. Pretty damn short though.
