The national bestseller!
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 Times
From the author of the definitive biography of Frank Sinatra, the story of how jazz arrived at the pinnacle of American culture in 1959, told through the journey of three towering artistsMiles Davis, John Coltrane, and Bill Evanswho came together to create the most iconic jazz album of all time, Kind of Blue
The myth of the 60s depends on the 1950s being the before times of conformity, segregation, straightnessThe Lonely Crowd and The Organization ManThis all carries some truth, but it does nothing to explain how, in 1959, Americas great indigenous art form, jazz, reached the height of its power and popularity, thanks to a number of Black geniuses so legendary they go by one nameMonk, Mingus, Rollins, Coltrane, and, above all, Miles.
Nineteen fifty-nine saw Miles, Coltrane, Bill Evans, and more come together to record what is widely considered the greatest jazz album of all time, and certainly the bestselling: Kind of Blue.
3 Shades of Blue is James Kaplans magnificent account of the paths of the three giants to the mountaintop of 1959 and beyondIts a book about music, and business, and race, and heroin, and the towns that gave jazz its home, from New Orleans and New York to Kansas City, Philadelphia, Chicago, and LA. Its an astonishing meditation on creativity and the strange hothouses that can produce its full flowering.
Its a book about the great forebears of this golden age, particularly Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, and the disrupters, like Ornette Coleman, 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 mentheir struggles, their choices, their tragedies, their greatnessBill Evans had a gruesome downward spiral; John Coltrane took the mystics path into a space far away from mainstream concerns. Miles had three or four sea changes in him before the end. The tapestry of their lives is, in Kaplans hands, an American odyssey with no direction home It is also a masterpiece, a book about jazz that is as big as America.
