The making of Kind of Blue

"The Making of Kind of Blue is a researched examination of how this masterpiece was born. Recorded with pianist Bill Evans, tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, composer/theorist George Russell and Miles himself, the album represented a fortuitous conflation of some of the real giants of the jazz world, at a time when they were at the top of their musical game. The result was a recording that would forever change the face of American music.". "Through extensive interviews and access to rare recordings, Eric Nisenson has pieced together the whole story of this miraculous session, laying bare the genius of Miles Davis, other musicians, and the heart of jazz itself."--BOOK JACKET.
