Kind of Blue [Remaster] by Miles Davis

Pros: Excellent music, fun to listen to, great artists playing great improvisational solos...a must for any jazz musician
Cons: There are none...to point out any would be blasphemy

When jazz legends Miles Davis(trumpet), Julian "Cannonball" Adderly(alto sax), John Coltrane(tenor sax), Paul Chambers(bass), Jimmy Cobb(drums), Wynton Kelly(piano), and Bill Evans(also on piano) decided to get together in 1959 in a recording...

Pros: Master artists captured at their craft
Cons: The CD ends

There is little anyone can say about this album that will do it justice. If you are, ever were or might be interested in jazz, this album is the culmination of nearly 60 years of jazz music evolving from the ragtime of Joplin to the Bebop of Bird and...

Pros: Great improvisation, production, "moods"
Cons: None

Simply put, "Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis is one of the most important jazz recordings of all time.

In it, Miles and illustrious sidemen such as John Coltrane and Julian "Cannonball" Adderly used the language of Charlie...

Pros: You'll wear it out before you get tired of it
Cons: Once you've got a taste for it ..........

This album is so often overlooked by people as simply a good introduction to jazz because its accessible, but it goes much deeper than that. Possibly Miles Davis's greatest studio recording this music reaches out to people in a way that surpasses our...

Pros: .
Cons: .

Any student at the local high-school-for-the-performing-arts will tell you (probably after buying dope from them) that this Miles Davis album, recorded in 1959, is "the shit." Well, the acne-faced geek is right. From the moment you read the...

Pros: Can listen to it over and over.
Cons: None

The first time I listened to Kind of Blue, in 1996, I had been listening to mostly classical music, a lot of classical guitar. Yet, Kind of Blue struck a cord, so I bought it.

I've listened to Kind of Blue EVERY day for almost four years. No...

Pros: It's one of the most significant jazz releases
Cons: None

"The music has gotten thick....". That was part of a quote from the legendary Miles Davis describing how modern jazz was becoming too elaborate and was losing its simplistic appeal. He explained how modern jazz music was becoming too ...

Pros: Five absolutely flawless songs, the sextet at their finest.
Cons: None whatsoever.

Nowadays it's pretty much passe to say that Kind of Blue is the best Miles Davis album, maybe even the best album in jazz history. And, while it's hard for me to pick a favorite from Miles Davis' lengthy studio catalog (a catalog which I've explored ...

Pros: Very fluid and relaxing
Cons: None

Miles Davis never fails to amaze his audience, and he does it once again with "Kind of Blue." He plays with such feeling and fluidity that its not hard at all to fall in love with this album the very first time you hear it. I feel like I'm...

Pros: Sweet tones
Cons: none

I love Miles Davis. I can drift away to a better place when I listen to his music. No one can play like him. Each note is either exciting or mellow.
What I do is to empty the house, wait for just after sunset, dim light and just sit there and...

Pros: Relaxing Music, all songs really do sound different
Cons: NONE, ABSOLUTELY NONE!!

It is kind of weird that I haven't ever listened to any of Miles Davis's music before, until I bought this album. Now I am hooked and have already bought 2 of his other albums and can't wait until I listen to them.

This is probably the most...

Pros: John Coltrane, Miles, as well as others
Cons: None

You know I was at my local record store the other day, and I wished to buy something new. It was a Friday, and after a long week I was in the mood for something relaxing, something calm. As I walked around browsing, I found it. A Paul Simon CD that is...

Pros: Perfect jazz!
Cons: Alternate Flamenco Sketches Take

I've enjoyed playing jazz for quite a while, and when I put my saxophone away after high school, I felt myself longing once again to hear that old familiar jazz beat. I'd heard of many jazz artists in my time, but lacked the knowledge of their music...

Pros: Gorgeous, heavenly music.
Cons: Not a one.

Heavenly.

This scripty adjective is the word that immediately springs to my mind when trying to formulate an accurate description of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue.

Miles Davis is the jazz artist that all rock fans have checked...

Pros: Fantastic improvisation fueled by beautiful compositions.
Cons: Only five songs.

Few albums define an entire genre the way Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue" defines jazz. Though jazz has gone through countless incarnations since it's birth over a century ago, "Kind of Blue" is the single most recommended album for "jazz newbies," and...
