Presented here is the complete legendary Miles Davis album 'Kind of Blue', one of the most iconic and best-selling albums ever - irrespective of music genre!
'Kind of Blue', which started the modal jazz style, remains one of the most iconic and influential jazz albums of all time. It features the All-Star Miles Davis Sextet and contains the original versions of tunes that would become standards: 'Blue In Green', 'All Blues', and 'So What'.
"This is a remarkable album. Using very simple but effective devices, Miles has constructed an album of extreme beauty and sensuality. This is not to say that this LP is a simple one - far from it. What is remarkable is that the men (musicians) have done so much with the stark, skeletal material. All the compositions bear the mark of the Impressionist and touches of Bela Bartok. Miles' playing throughout the album is poignant, sensitive, and, at times, almost morose; his linear concept never falters...This is the soul of Miles Davis, and it's a beautiful soul."
- ***** Don de Micheal, DownBeat
