1959, The Year That Changed Jazz

"In 1959 four major jazz albums were made that changed music forever: Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue," Dave Brubeck's "Time Out," Charles Migus' "Mingus Ah Um" and Ornette Coleman's "The Shape of Jazz to Come." Here is a link to a cool documentary "1959, The Year That Changed Jazz" about each disc. https://www.youtube.com/w...&t=51s Sixty-four years later, when writing the jazz inspired short story "Frankie Five Hundred," author Michael A. Gonzales used that quartet of brilliant albums as the soundtracks to his tale of a young model in 1959 New York City.
