Description
The Blue Moment: Miles Davis's Kind of Blue and the Remaking of Modern Music Miles Davis's Kind of Blue is a sound that has become synonymous with melancholy coolness. Recorded in 1959, this album has sold millions of copies and remains one of the most haunting pieces of music of the 20th century. Its atmosphere - slow, dark, and meditative - has had a lasting impact on music and culture. Richard Williams's book offers a nuanced exploration of the album's significance, making connections to painting, literature, philosophy, and poetry. This thoughtful narrative provides insight into the qualities that make Kind of Blue so uniquely appealing.
