It is also notoriously the only jazz album many people own. Recorded in 1959 (in nine miraculous hours) there has been nothing like it since. Its atmosphere
- slow dark meditative luminous
- became all-pervasive for a generation & has remained the epitome of melancholy coolness ever since. Richard Williams has written a history of the album which for once does not rip it out of its wider cultural context. He evokes the essence of the music
