Product Information
The national bestseller! "A superb book...[Kaplan is] a master biographer, a dogged researcher and shaper of narrative, and this is his most ambitious book to date." -- Los Angeles Times From the author of the definitive biography of Frank Sinatra, the story of how jazz arrived at the pinnacle of American culture in 1959, told through the journey of three towering artists--Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Bill Evans--who came together to create the most iconic jazz album of all time, Kind of Blue The myth of the '60s depends on the 1950s being the "before times" of conformity, segregation, straightness-- The Lonely Crowd and The Organization Man . This all carries some truth, but it does nothing to explain how, in 1959, America's great indigenous art form, jazz, reached the height of its power and popularity, thanks to a number of Black geniuses so legendary they go by one name--Monk, Mingus, Rollins, Coltrane, and, above all, Miles. Nineteen fifty-nine saw Miles, Coltrane, Bill Evans, and more come together to record what is widely considered the greatest jazz album of all time, and certainly the bestselling: Kind of Blue . 3 Shades of Blue is James Kaplan's magnificent account of the paths of the three giants to the mountaintop of 1959 and beyond. It's a book about music, and business, and race, and heroin, and the towns that gave jazz its home, from New Orleans and New York to Kansas City, Philadelphia, Chicago, and LA. It's an astonishing meditation on creativity and the strange hothouses that can produce its full flowering. It's a book about the great forebears of this golden age, particularly Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, and the disrupters, like Ornette Coleman, who would take the music down truly new paths. And it's about why the world of jazz most people know is a museum to this never-replicated period. But above all, 3 Shades of Blue is a book about three very different men--their struggles, their choices, their tragedies, their greatness. Bill Evans had a gruesome downward spiral; John Coltrane took the mystic's path into a space far away from mainstream concerns. Miles had three or four sea changes in him before the end. The tapestry of their lives is, in Kaplan's hands, an American odyssey with no direction home. It is also a masterpiece, a book about jazz that is as big as America.

Reviews
" 3 Shades of Blue is an instant classic, one that both jazz fanatics and casual fans will love. James Kaplan sweeps us into the dazzling world of Swing Street after World War II, a scene as mythical and magical as Pablo Picasso's Paris, Timothy Leary's San Francisco, or Ralph Waldo Emerson's Concord. It is an intimate, enthralling portrait of the titans of 20th-century music--'friends and geniuses together'--and the revolution they created." --Debby Applegate, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Madam: The Biography of Polly Adler, Icon of the Jazz Age "James Kaplan proves again that he is not only a penetrating commentator on American music, but also a compelling storyteller. In his new book, Kaplan writes about a decisive moment in modern jazz, and turns it into a genuine page-turner." --Ted Gioia, author of The History of Jazz "James Kaplan once more combines his formidable skill as an electrifying storyteller of the history of American music with a true depth of understanding of the art form itself--this time through the eyes of three jazz legends. This book reads like music. Don't miss it." --Seth MacFarlane, creator and executive producer, Family Guy and The Orville, "Kaplan, author of a lauded two-volume biography of Frank Sinatra, tells the stories of three jazz geniuses, offering new and revelatory perspectives on Miles Davis, born to and repeatedly saved by privilege; John Coltrane, whose 'watchful sadness' was rooted in an impoverished childhood; and the less-known Bill Evans, 'an incessantly analytical human being.' . . . Writing with acumen and lyricism, Kaplan conjures the moods and milieus, breakthroughs and performances, temperaments and drama that generated this endlessly enthralling music." -- Booklist (starred review) "Kaplan, the author of the definitive biography of Frank Sinatra, gives us a peek inside group genius at work . . . Throughout this vibrant text, the author captures the time and atmosphere perfectly--the music, the personalities, the fragrant aroma of weed in the air--and he brings us right into the performances . . . A marvelous must-read for jazz fans and anyone interested in this dynamic period of American music." -- Kirkus , (starred review) "A compulsively readable book about three jazz legends who came together for one glorious moment to produce one of the best, most influential jazz records ever." -- Library Journal , (starred review) " 3 Shades of Blue is an instant classic, one that both jazz fanatics and casual fans will love.

Kaplan--who also penned the two-volume definitive look at the life of one Francis Albert Sinatra--goes into similar depth here . . . 3 Shades of Blue --like the best of music books--just sends you back to the source." -- Houston Press "Elegant and elegiac, 3 Shades of Blue tells stories of ambition and anxiety, collaborations and clashes, musical innovation and racial discrimination." -- The Minneapolis Star Tribune "[Kaplan] writes like a dream . . . As an overview of musical magnificence, this book cannot be bettered." --Jazz Journal "Kaplan, author of a lauded two-volume biography of Frank Sinatra, tells the stories of three jazz geniuses, offering new and revelatory perspectives on Miles Davis, born to and repeatedly saved by privilege; John Coltrane, whose 'watchful sadness' was rooted in an impoverished childhood; and the less-known Bill Evans, 'an incessantly analytical human being.' . . .

This book reads like music. Don't miss it." --Seth MacFarlane, creator and executive producer, Family Guy and The Orville, "James Kaplan''s new effort, 3 Shades of Blue, raises the bar. . . . At a time when jazz is reemergent and viral, seeping into virtually every musical genre (and vice versa), we are fortunate that the author has conjured this hothouse flower of a book--as rarified, intricate, and haunting as an orchid." --David Friend, Vanity Fair "''This is the story of the three geniuses who joined forces to create one of the great classics in Western music,'' Mr. Kaplan writes . . . Kaplan does a wonderful job synthesizing sources to produce a compelling narrative history. His own interviews add a lot as well. His technical descriptions of the music are accessible and useful." -- Wall Street Journal "Fascinating, detailed and comprehensive . . . Kaplan--who also penned the two-volume definitive look at the life of one Francis Albert Sinatra--goes into similar depth here . . . 3 Shades of Blue --like the best of music books--just sends you back to the source." -- Houston Press "Elegant and elegiac, 3 Shades of Blue tells stories of ambition and anxiety, collaborations and clashes, musical innovation and racial discrimination." -- The Minneapolis Star Tribune "[Kaplan] writes like a dream . . . As an overview of musical magnificence, this book cannot be bettered." --Jazz Journal "In the ten years between 1955 and 1965, an American art form--jazz--reached its peak . . . [Kaplan] has written the definitive book on how that decade came to be . . . vital, marshalling with a light touch countless snippets of material." -- London Sunday Times "Kaplan, author of a lauded two-volume biography of Frank Sinatra, tells the stories of three jazz geniuses, offering new and revelatory perspectives on Miles Davis, born to and repeatedly saved by privilege; John Coltrane, whose ''watchful sadness'' was rooted in an impoverished childhood; and the less-known Bill Evans, ''an incessantly analytical human being.'' . . .
