Product Description: This is the one jazz record owned by people who don't listen to jazz, and with good reason. The band itself is extraordinary (proof of Miles Davis's masterful casting skills, if not of God's existence), listing John Coltrane and Julian "Cannonball" Adderley on saxophones, Bill Evans (or, on "Freddie Freeloader," Wynton Kelly) on piano, and the crack rhythm unit of Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums. Coltrane's astringency on tenor is counterpoised to Adderley's funky self on alto, with Davis moderating between them as Bill Evans conjures up a still lake of sound on which they walk. Meanwhile, the rhythm partnership of Cobb and Chambers is prepared to click off time until eternity. It was the key recording of what became modal jazz, a music free of the fixed harmonies and forms of pop songs. In Davis's men's hands it was a weightless music, but one that refused to fade into the background. In retrospect every note seems perfect, and each piece moves inexorably towards its destiny. --John Szwed

Customer Reviews
kind of blue by miles davis
arguably the greatest jazz album of the 20th century, miles is at his absolute best and with a great supporting cast of musicians...don't take my word on it, do yourself a favor and BUY IT!

I must have for any music fan
I'm not a musician and do not know much about the blues/ jazz scene or its' history for that matter, however, I bought this in college and was hooked on Miles Davis. If you don't have this, I would imagine you have a hard time coming off as being cool. Any fan of music or anyone with any soul in them should own this.

673 Five star positive reviews... and your here cos..??
I cannot add anything new to what has been said about this legendary record that the world does not already know. But if your here, maybe someone recommended this to you and you wish to purchase, don't think or read anything further. Just click "add this to shopping cart" and get ready to be blown away by some incredible music.
I am not going to getting into any elitist nuances of Jazz, intricacies of this record, lineup, settings and all that blah blah.. geeky audiophile stuff. This is a landmark record, period. Get it NOW!

Masterpiece
This album is great. My first hearing of Davis was Sketches of Spain, which is good, but took a while to grow on me. This one, on the other hand, jumps out immediately as a top-shelf package. One listen and you'll be humming the tunes. Two or more and you'll be positively hooked. In my opinion, Kind of Blue is compositionally his best album. Same goes for the overall "cool" factor. The whole disc is smooth and elegant, varying in nuance and tone throughout and giving each musician a chance to step up and show off a bit. Great work that deserves high honors.

As good as the legend suggests!
I'd been playing jazz piano for eight months before I "discovered" this album. It came into my collection at the right time and really increased and renewed my interest in jazz. I'm not sure how I missed this album for as long as I did. Anyway, there are almost 700 reviews for this CD, so all I'll say is, this is a classic, must, must, MUST have CD, and if you like jazz and for some odd reason don't have this one, you must make it a priority to get this CD before you buy anything else. You will be ecstatic.
