Hardback. Condizione: Good. A Da Capo Original: The complete inside story of the creation of the legendary jazz album. 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.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. First edition, First printing, August 2000. 223pp. Foreword by Jimmy Cobb. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "When we did the album we had no idea it would become so important. I have wondered for years just what was that special quality."--Bill Evans. "Jazz musicians call it The Bible. Critics call it the one jazz album every fan must own. Since its recording in 1959, KIND OF BLUE has sold millions worldwide and become one of the most important records of its century. In a year that proved a watershed for jazz, Miles Davis assembled his famed sextet--John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley, Jimmy Cobb, Paul Chambers, and Wynton Kelly--and in only two impromptu sessions created a timeless masterpiece. [] Now Ashley Kahn opens wide the studio doors so longtime fans and newcomers alike can witness the creation of this classic album. Offering the first take-by-take account of the sessions and analysis of never-released fragmentary takes, drawn from extremely rare access to the complete master tapes, Kahn takes us behind the scenes through countless interviews (including the only three people still living who were in the studio on those days) and newly discovered documents from Columbia Records's archives. Weaving his meticulous research into a thrilling narrative, he traces Miles's progress from bop to modal jazz, and follows the album from its release to its transformation into a cultural touchstone. Throughout, nearly a hundred images do their part in telling the story, including Bill Evans's handwritten liner notes, never-before-seen photographs of the studio, and even one of the session charts. With a foreword from Jimmy Cobb, the last surviving member of the group, this is the definitive story of Davis's album--an album you will never hear the same way again." [jacket copy] "This book is an amazing account of one of the greatest events and recordings of our time. You really get a sense of being there; the personalities of all those that were involved literally jump off the pages. This is a must-have."--Herbie Hancock. "Exceptional. . . a stunning 'recordography'--a revelatory and readable mix of music history, musicology, recording specifications, archival photos and social commentary."--NPR Jazz. "If you are interested in how the record was made, read Kahn; and if you're interested in what makes a piece of quiet, understated music survive four decades of rock, rap and ruckus, listen to the album again--and again and again and again."--Time. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a beautiful blue jacket.…
