1959
I really enjoyed this BBC documentary called 1959: The Year that Changed Jazz.
It’s focuses on the albums Kind of Blue, Time Out, Mingus Ah Um, and The Shape of Jazz to Come. In addition to a great collection of vintage footage, they’ve got interviews with people like Herbie Hancock, Charlie Haden, Dave Brubeck, Stanley Crouch and Lou Reed.
1959 was a pretty great year, wasn’t it?
