From what really happened when Charlie Mingus visited the White House.to how Miles Davis and the ensemble that would eventually record the greatest jazz album of all time- Kind of Blue - came together at Wein's Storyville nightclub.to the day at Newport when Bob Dylan first "went electric," here are the personalities and forces that have shaped the past half-century of popular music.
