Jazz Books
Had an easy weekend. Spent time alone and got through both Ashley Kahn’s A Love Supreme : The Story of John Coltrane’s Signature Album and Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece. Enjoyed both books. Kahn’s writing, especially on the sessions of recording the pieces, gives readers deeper appreciations on two of the most influential jazz albums. These two CDs are back on heavy rotations. Kind of Blue is for relaxing, and A Love Supreme is for spiritual uplifting.
I would suggest really good addition to your Ashley’s books would be “Good Vibration: a history of record production” by Mark Cunningham, Brian Eno and Alan Parson.
That book will give you a new perspective about how music was made back in the day and today. Especially it has a real cool chapter about jazz production…you will be surprise.
again, imho only.
I’ll look into it when I get a chance. Thanks for the recommandation.
