Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"

Interesting. In my very limited jazz experience, I don't see it that way. I don't know anything else near as good as KOB. What else do you like better?

bitches brew,but it took me forever to "get it"

Miles is one of the most important musicians of our time. He has performed tirelessly for more than 50 years, forging new directions in the jazz community.

He has received 9 Grammy awards, with 79 of his releases holding top 50 chart positions. When Kind of Blue was released it became one of the cornerstones of Jazz and a requirement for every important jazz collection.

I have thirty one of his albums and two Mosaic Box sets, and this is a tiny fraction of his work. Having said that, "Kind of Blue" is one of my favorites, and one I would never part with.

Realize this piece of music was released in 1959, and here we are at Audiogon, still discussing the creativity, style and recording quality 43 years later.

How many of today's artists do you think will stand up to a half century of listeners changing tastes? Yes, it is a very important piece of music.
