Abstract:
Originally released in 1959, Miles Davis's magnum opus Kind of Blue is still considered by many to be one of the greatest albums of all time. Starring Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb, Kind of Blue has held onto its status as an album that crosses genres, speaks to generations, and is a cornerstone to any music collection. This landmark edition of Kind of Blue celebrates a masterwork and its prelude, offering the only other studio sides we have of Davis's sextet, and a later live recording, illustrating how this band evolved and where they were headed on their journey toward immortality -- container.
