More Info:
There's probably enough written about Kind of Blue to fill a library. This album has often been declared the "best jazz album of all time." Ultimately, that doesn't mean much, and it adds pressure. Listening to it remains the best way to understand it: what unfolds on this record, beyond musicological theories and aesthetic revolutions, is a perfect symbiosis between exceptional musicians. Their names: Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Jimmy Cobb, Paul Chambers, and, of course, Miles Davis. The chemistry between them is complete. They're all very good, but above all, devoted to the collective sound, completely open to what's happening around them, almost disappearing behind their shared creation. A spirit rises on this record that transcends it's creators. Maybe the best jazz album of all time.
