Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue

Gents, please advice on picking up some jazz music. I am not so much into classic Jazz sound, but I found Miles Davis' Kind of Blue to be impressive. I would say the same thing to the song "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck.

I have so far sampled "Steps to Heaven", "Someday My Prince Will Come" and "Miles Ahead", but none of them come close to "Kind of Blue", IMHO. Can you point me to similar albums - Miles or others?

Thanks

but "In a Silent Way" does not cut it for me. may be the sample on amazon is to short to feel it.
If you are destined to get into this album, listening to a taste on the 'net will definitely not make it happen. It's a "grow to love it" recording, IMO. As Proghead notes, it is not remotely like KOB, but is in fact closer to his electric stuff...which is not to missed either.

Definitely check out "L'Ascenseur pour L'Echafaud". It's a soundtrack, and one of his best recordings, IMO.
