Description: 3 Shades of Blue by James Kaplan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The National Bestseller • One of The Minneapolis Star Tribunes Best Books of the Year"A superb book...[Kaplan is] a master biographer, a dogged researcher and shaper of narrative, and this is his most ambitious book to date." —Los Angeles TimesFrom the author of the definitive biography of Frank Sinatra, the story of three towering artists—Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Bill Evans—and how they came together to create the most iconic jazz album of all time, Kind of BlueIn 1959, Americas great indigenous art form, jazz, reached the height of its power and popularity. James Kaplans magnificent 3 Shades of Blue captures how that golden era came to be, and its pinnacle with the recording of Kind of Blue. Its a book about music, and business, and race, and heroin, and the cities that gave jazz its home, and the Black geniuses behind its rise. Its an astonishing meditation on creativity and the strange environments where it can flourish most. Its a book about the great forebears and founders of a lost era, and the disrupters who would take the music down truly new paths. And its about why the world of jazz most people know is a museum to this never-replicated period. But above all, 3 Shades of Blue is a book about three very different men—the greatness and varied fortunes of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Bill Evans. The tapestry of their lives is, in Kaplans hands, a national odyssey with no direction home. It is also a masterpiece, a book about jazz that is as big as America.
