Kind of Blue


This was the first Jazz CD I ever owned.  I currently have over 200 Jazz CDs and Kind of Blue is still #1 on my list.

What are your favs?

The greatest jazz recording of all time for me i listened to it through outdoor speakers from a little watch and jewellry store in 1964 ...

This one jazzman played it  :

 

 

Miles Davis:  Kind of Blue, Miles Smiles, A Tribute to Jack Johnson

John Coltrane:  Giant Steps, assorted tracks from LP's

Mahavishnu Orchestra:  The Inner Mounting Flame, Birds of Fire

Oz Noy:  Live in Asia

Jim Hall Trio:  Live!

Bill Evans Trio:  Complete Riverside Recordings

Gary Burton and Chick Corea:  Crystal Silence

Appreciate everyone’s recommendations!

@mahgister Always enjoy you sharing your experiences and music suggestions!

@tostadosunidos Crystal Silence is a classic!

I will add the French jazz pianist Claude Bolling as one of my favorite musicians.

I like "Kind of Blue" but I do have a  few Jazz Albums that I like better,  including:

Olu Dara, In the World: From Natchez to New York

Julius Hemphill - Dogon A.D.

Abdullah Ibrahim - Yarona

Johnny Dyani - Angolian Cry

Macy Grey - Stripped

The Olu Dara recording just makes me smile.
