The story of how jazz arrived at the pinnacle of American culture in 1959, told through the journey of three artists--Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Bill Evans.
What The Reviewers Say
A compelling biography.
A bracing reminder of when jazz represented a widely relevant culture.
3 Shades of Blue does not tell any new stories.
Definitive.
