Documentary: 1956, The Year that Changed Jazz

What happened in 1956? Well, four major albums were released: Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue, Dave Brubeck’s Tim Out, Charles Mingus’ Mingus Ah Um, and Nornette Coleman’s the Shape of Jazz to Come. Since we’ll never see any of these musicians live, we’ll just have to settle for this documentary.
