What's the most famous jazz album in the world? Don't say Duke Ellington Plays Mary Poppins unless you have a really good excuse, like you work for Disney. And please don't name some album by Kenny G even if that's sort of true. No, of course the most famous jazz album is Kind of Blue, and our special guest this episode wrote a book on the three geniuses who brought it into being. Please enjoy this interview with author James Kaplan and stay tuned until the end when he reveals the subject of his next book. Also, stick around until the end to see how many ways Pat avoids including clips from the most famous jazz album in the world.
