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 ge…
