This album is totally unique in jazz for a couple of reasons - it was largely improvised almost on the spot - it does not contain a bunch of well worn jazz stardards that started as pop standards. Its very "modal" - long solos within a specific chord as opposed to frequent chord changes and modulations. And there is some controversy as to whether Bill Evans should get composing credit for much of the album as opposed to Miles. (So is it more like a Bill Evans album or a Miles album?)
So you won't really find other albums that "sound" or "feel" like this one IMO. Just try to go for the "best of the best". For Bill Evans, Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debbie. How about Ornette Coleman - Shape of Jazz to Come. Coltrane - Love Supreme. Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil - an all time classic of the genre - has a similar darkness/minor feel to Kind of Blue. Monk and Coltrane -they made 2-3 classics together. Check out Terence Blanchard - or Christian Scott - innovative current trumpeters. Don't forget the free samples on itunes
