It's good

I am not a big fan.  Like a lot of Davis’s biographers, Carr lets his opinions as a fan get the better of him.

How about John Szwed’s Miles bio?

Don't forget that Carr was a hugely important musician and composer on the British jazz scene, so his lens on Miles is quite interesting, especially as his music evolved along not-dissimilar lines. Not a total acolyte, but there are some obvious parallels for sure. I like the book though it has been a very long time since I read it.
