1959 is the year of jazz. It is in 1959 when Miles Davis released Kind of Blue, the most important modern jazz record as well as the bestselling jazz album in the world. It is in 1959 when many legendary songs, such as So What and All Blues, and a star, John Coltrane, were born. It is in 1959 when improvisation became the foundation of modern jazz. 1959 is the year of joy thanks to the unprecedented achievements of Dave Brubeck, Ray Charles and Miles Davis; 1959 also represents the loss of two jazz legends Billie Holiday and Lester Young. At any rate, 1959 is a very memorable year for everyone who appreciates jazz. I found this article that talks about the interesting and moving stories about different jazz legends. Enjoy!
