Kind of Blue album Product Description

Kind of Blue album by Miles Davis was released Mar 01, 2010 on the As Is label. With Birth of the Cool, Miles Davis distilled a new tonal palette for jazz. Kind of Blue CD music 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 album's for eternity
This review is for the 50th aniv edition. I already have this album and bought this edition for the extra tracks on the second disc, original studio takes, original liner notes & the artwork. The second disc n the extra tracks makes it feel like a complete Kind Of Blue session as i feel its music never stops growing. This is a collectors item and needs no review of this all time greatest jazz album ever.

The gold standard
This set raises the bar for tributes to a single album. Sure, it's pricey, but look at what you get: the album proper on CD and blue vinyl, a CD of related tracks, a hardcover book, a "making of" DVD, session notes, frame worthy photos, and a poster.
