Jazz
musicians call it The Bible. Critics call it the one jazz album every
fan must own. Forty-one years since its recording in 1959, it has sold
millions worldwide and sits near the top of any list of most important
records of the century. How did two impromptu sessions produce such a
timeless acknowledged masterpiece?Now, for the first time, Ashley Kahn
takes us into the studio to witness the creation of an album that still
thrills jazz musicians, enthusiasts, and newcomers alike with its
deceptively simple tunes. Using eyewitness accounts and newly discovered
documents, Kahn traces Miles's move from bop to modal jazz, re-creates
the sessions using master tapes (weighing in on fragmentary takes and
the dispute about composers), and follows the rise of the album from its
contemporary reception to its transformation into a cultural landmark
through conversations with those who were there. Extensively researched
and copiously illustrated, Kind of Blue
recovers an invaluable piece of musical history and heightens fans'
appreciation of the album they know and love.New and
never-before-published material in Kind of Blue
includes: The complete, unedited master session tapes, with analysis of
fragmentary takes that have never been released, and studio dialogue
between Davis and the musicians Over forty new interviews with
musicians, producers, and critics, including Herbie Hancock, Elvin
Jones, Quincy Troupe, George Avakian, Nat Hentoff-and the only people
still living who witnessed the making of the album: Jimmy Cobb, engineer
Bob Waller, and photographer Don Hunstein Previously unpublished photos
of the recording session, featuring a rare shot of Miles's charts
Studio logs and internal memos from Columbia about the making and
marketing of the album The handwritten version of Bill Evans's famous
liner notes
