Abstract: Volume four of Jazz traces the evolution of the artform from the mid-1950s to the present day. At the start of the era, Jazz still had its two guiding lights. In 1956, Duke Ellington recaptured the nation's ear with a performance at the Newport Jazz Festival, while Louis Armstrong still dazzled the world. Meanwhile, new virtuosos emerged to push the limits if bebop: saxophone Sonny Rollins: jazz diva Sarah Vaughan: and the drummer Art Blakey. But the leading light of the era was Miles Davis.
