Title: Rehash
Product review: This books reads like it is a collection of excerpts from the author's previous works on Miles and Trane, both of which are infinitely better than this book. The other recent work by Kahn on the making of Kind of Blue is infinitely more informative and original. Niesenson's book provides no real new information on the making of the album. The sole redeeming virtue of the book is the chapter on George Russell. Anyone who has struggled with Russell's Lydian Chromatic Concept will appreciate Niesenson's attempt to explain how the "concept" helped shape the direction of Miles, Trane and Bill Evans.
