Kind Of Blue: The Making Of The Miles Davis Masterpiece

Classic album. It is often considered the seminal Modal Jazz album. I have seen it mentioned as the best selling jazz album of all time.
Check out Kahn's body of work. He knows the subject he writes about. He interviewed who he could on the making of the album and its impact. He gives one of the few explanations of what modal jazz is that I have read. He has good knowledge of the players and there impact.
This is a great book. Half the book is a biography of the players and times and half is the making of the record and it's influences. The subject matter is a must read for jazz fans. Kahn deals with the subject with an impressive command.
I liked it so much that I am now reading Kahn's book about the making of Love Supreme by Coltrane.

Thanks for reviewing this book. Now I have a selection for my 2019 book list in Non-fiction. The album is incredible. I have it on my Driving-Around-Town playlist.

Plus it is only around 250 pages. It was so engrossing you can easily complete it in a couple of days.
