Be sure to fact check - cymbal thrown on floor, not "at" Parker, by Jo Jones (Basie alum) at jam session (no Duke); Lee Morgan shot by common-law wife, no marriage.
Miles' book is a great source, as are bios/autobios of Louis Armstrong, Art Pepper, Mingus, Chet Baker, Mezz Mezzrow, Bird, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Billie Holiday, Monk, Duke, etc. Also YouTube interviews. Probably a good idea to find confirmation, when possible, as the artists aren't always reliable. There is a book called Jazz Anecdotes - haven't read it.
If you like these sorts of jazz stories, you should pick up a copy of Jazz Anecdotes.
