Vinyl Story

Description

He is, without a doubt, the most prolific, revolutionary, and distinctive jazz musician. He was behind at least three revolutions: in 1949/1950, he recorded *The Birth of the Cool*, a turning point in jazz history, introducing the new jazz of downtown clubs at a time when ballroom jazz was declining; in 1959, he recorded *Kind of Blue*, effectively marking jazz's true entry into the modern world, which would become the best-selling jazz album for decades because it sounded avant-garde then and still sounds like contemporary jazz today; and in 1969, he recorded *Bitches Brew*, a synthesis of rock, funk, and jazz music, often referred to as Fusion, because Miles was the first to synthesize all these genres into a masterful and essential work that remains one of the 20th century's top 10 masterpieces. The *Vinyl Story* album brings together an original biography of Miles Davis, illustrated by Jacques Ferrandez, one of our most renowned comic book artists, and the vinyl album *Kind of Blue*, undoubtedly Miles Davis's most essential album. In other words, an immersive dive into the heart of the character, through sound, image, and history.
