3 Shades of Blue Reviewed in Sunday’s London Times

The London Times reviewed 3 Shades of Blue in its Sunday March 3rd issue, praising Kaplan’s depiction of the Hard Bop era.

“In the ten years between 1955 and 1965, an American art form — jazz — reached its peak… for that brief decade it resonated around the world, serving as the soundtrack of the postwar, pre-rock’n’roll era. James Kaplan, a novelist and journalist turned biographer, has written the definitive book on how that decade came to be and the three men — Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Bill Evans — whose musical collaboration defined it.” – Harry Lambert, The London Times
