The year 1959 was outstanding for jazz.
The year's production includes the best selling jazz album of all time (Kind of Blue - Miles Davis), biggest selling jazz tune of all time (Take Five - Paul Desmond), the first jazz score for a major Hollywood film by Afro-Americans (Anatomy of a Murder - Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn) and some of the most influential music by top artists such as Charles Mingus (Mingus Ah Um), John Coltrane (Giant Steps), Ornette Coleman (The Shape of Things to Come), Bill Evans, the debutante Nina Simone, as well as the emergence of bossa nova, afro roots music and free jazz.
