The Making of Kind of Blue: Miles Davis and His… door Eric Nisenson
I 've always loved "Kind of Blue", but my appreciation of the album, the artists involved, and Jazz in general, has grown exponentially since reading this book. As a bonus, Nisenson clearly explains George Russell's "Concept" (the framework Miles Davis and co. used for recording the album).
This was the first of many other biographies I have read of John Coltrane. I have been listening to his music ever since. I think this is a decent biography.
The spiritual side of Coltrane and his music come through in this bio... all written in context with the times he was living in, the civil rights struggles of the 60's,. etc... good work.
*Read this again... originally read it probably 10 or more years ago... this was interesting, but certainly a Coltrane love fest by the author... though, i suppose, what's not to love?
