(4) 4-6 Innovators series. This standard-issue biography describes Davis's rise to jazz greatness and his contributions to the genre; the text skims over his problems with drugs, alcohol, and depression. After briefly mentioning his early life, the volume focuses mostly on his career and how Davis transformed modern jazz. The writing is accessible but bland. Many vivid photos help liven things up.
