Pros: The music on this recording has the great and perfect balance in Structure,Melody and Improvisation! Cons: Absolutely none,who have?
Absolutely, the music on Kind of Blue are great! In these days, I have listened this recording several times, again and again. I ever listened this album first in mp3 version and there are two tracks in my Miles Davis and John Coltrane compilation,...

Pros: Legendary Desert Island Material from Beginning to End Cons: None
What can anyone say of this album that has not been said before. It's quite probably the best recording of any music, any time in the 20th Century. If a more engaging masterpiece exists in jazz or any other musical idiom, I've not encountered in this...

Pros: Very mellow Cons: none
Kind of Blue is the quintessential jazz album. There's no doubt in my mind that if you are new to jazz and you want to get a feel for the music then this is the CD to do it with.
There are songs for every mood on this album. There are only 5 songs,...

This is the essence of cool jazz, played by one of the greatest cool style trumpet players of all time: Miles Davis. With his unique style and sound, he puts together a beautiful collection of artistic talent and easy listening. Fantastic melodies...

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: 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: great music, jazz at its best. Cons: nothing I can think of.
To jazz fans, Miles Davis is just a small step down from God on the tower of supreme beings. Davis was an absolute genius and a master of improvisation. He has played some of the most beautiful instrumental solos that I have ever heard. To be honest,...

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: Greatest Jazz CD Ever Cons: We'll never hear music like this again
I bought this album because I have recently started listening to jazz and someone told me this is the jazz album to own and they were right. This album is simply great. Recorded on April 22, 1959 unrehearsed and in on take, this album combines the...

Pros: Beautiful, enjoyable solos from an amazing group Cons: Some of it is a bit hard to listen to---some tracks are pretty complex
About a year ago, my father decided I needed to be exposed to real jazz, not just the stuff that they play on the radio. He went to a music store, and picked up a copy of this album. I listened once, and was hooked. Miles Davis is without a doubt my...

Pros: excellent music Cons: the only way it could be better is if it were longer
Kind of Blue may very well be the definitive jazz album of all time. Joined by such jazz greats as Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane and Bill Evans, Miles Davis shows his ingenuity and ability throughout the album, and any listener quickly realizes why...

Pros: One of the greatest recordings of all time Cons: None
This is the recording I tell people to listen to when they want to know about Jazz. Beautiful music, with a subtle swing, and according to legend these were all first takes. Anyone looking to start a Jazz collection should start here, then, in between...

Pros: Miles Davis the greatest Cons: What makes him so great
This is truly the greatest album of all time. This album was way before its time. Miles Davis was and still is today a musical genius. I always wondered what was he thinking about when he put this album together, along with the great John Coltrane...

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: One of the greatest American contributions to music Cons: None
Jazz. The only truly American art form. Miles. The man who reinvented jazz and himself with each album. Kind of Blue. The turning point of bebop and a revolution in thought and recording. So What?
Step into a studio and pick up an...
