Kind of Blue album Product Description



With Birth of the Cool, Miles Davis distilled a new tonal palette for jazz. As early as 1954, Davis reacted to the escalating chordal complexity of hard bop by fashioning an evocative blues based on a simple scalar pattern ("Swing Spring"). Kind of Blue was the ultimate fulfillment of this approach, with Davis providing his collaborators little more than outlines for melodies and simple scales for improvisation. By emphasizing the blues and the improvisor's melodic gifts, Kind of Blue precipitated a major stylistic development: modal jazz. Charles Mingus had experimented with pedal points throughout the '50s, and the melodic freedom of Ornette Coleman's Atlantic sides was also predicated on freedom from chord changes. But Kind of Blue was to prove the most influential, enduring work of its kind. There was just such a vibe about these 1959 sessions -- Davis' lyric genius and burgeoning stardom, the innovative voicings and rarefied touch of pianist Bill Evans, the electrifying presence of John Coltrane, and Cannonball Adderley --that some 50-plus years after its initial release, Kind of Blue is still recognized as Davis' point of departure toward jazz's less-explored regions.   ...See Full Description

Greatest Album of All-Time (Jazz or otherwise)
I know, it's pretty high praise, but if you've heard it, it's hard to argue against it. Simply put, this album's beautiful. This album is great for beginners to Jazz and the most avid followers of Jazz. Wonderful for background music, mood music or to study it and take in every note. No matter who you are or what music you're into, this album is a MUST!!

Life Changing Experience
Before hearing "Kind Of Blue" in 1986 I thought Armstrong, Getz, Joplin, some Parker, Steely Dan, and Jean Luc Ponty was all the Jazz I needed. "So What" and "All Blues" were then the new standard for ALL music. So expressive and powerful while so restrained and minimal. And it swings. Wow. This album led me to "In A Silent Way", "Bitches Brew", "Live Evil",and "On the Corner." Then to Coltrane's "Love Supreme", "Blue Train", and "Transitions." Even to Coleman's "Free Jazz", way wild. My point being that finding "KOB" re-animated for me what I was sure was a dead, decaying musical form. Wrong.

This Was My Introduction To Miles Davis!
Hearing this album years ago, introduced me to what Jazz was all about. And it's still the same today. It's the Birth of Cool! This is a great CD for introducing a friend to Jazz and its' ultimate cool Master, Miles Davis.

Recommended for Jazz lovers
I'd been a fan to Miles since I was 7. The first tape I listen from him was his final/posthumous album "Doo-Bop" which is an big influence to me. First I went on digging up some albums of him incl. documentaries about him and all of that but Kind of Blue is something I didn't got to until my mid- or late teens at high school. I kept that album w/ me for 4 years now (since '01), And I'm still listen to this day w/o stopping. This is far my favorite jazz album of all-time. Recommend Us3, Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planets, Guru, Grover Washington, The Crusaders,Quincy Jones, Marvin Gaye, Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly, Alicia Keys and others to go along w/ it.
