The universally acknowledged masterpiece: Kind of Blue, was released over fifty years ago and still sells as many as five-thousand copies a week. Equally revered by rock and classical music fans as well as by jazz lovers, this recording is a MUST HAVE for any aspiring musician.
Kind of Blue includes the artistry of seven now-legendary musicians at the zenith of their respective careers. The album will provide deep perspective on the musicality of tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, alto saxophonist Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, pianists Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Jimmy Cobb and of course, Miles Davis on the trumpet.
An exercise in simplicity
This recording is an exercise in simplicity. There is literally nothing that is over or underdone throughout each tune. In the words of jazz historian Dan Morgenstern, “It’s [Kind of Blue] so well balanced. There is not an unnecessary note in any of those pieces. And you keep coming back to it. It doesn’t wear out its welcome.”
