Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue is one of those records that reaches far beyond jazz. Long embraced as the jazz album even non-jazz fans own, it did not just reshape how people heard Miles Davis it helped change the course of music itself.

Regularly placed among the greatest jazz albums ever made, and just as often named one of the defining musical statements of the 20th century, its 46 minutes of improvisation and sophistication still feel unmatched.

Davis plays trumpet with real clarity and ease, backed by a remarkable sextet featuring pianist Bill Evans, drummer Jimmy Cobb, bassist Paul Chambers, and saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian 'Cannonball' Adderley. Wynton Kelly appears on piano for Freddy the Freeloader.
