'Kind of Blue' is the now classic studio album by the legendary American jazz trumpeter Miles Davis, recorded in 1959 at Columbia's 30th Street Studio in New York City. The album features Davis's ensemble sextet consisting of saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian 'Cannonball' Adderley, pianist Bill Evans, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb, with new band pianist Wynton Kelly appearing on one track in place of Evans.

a money grab , thats actually worth the price.
ive become extremly jaded at the jazz releases in recent years. how many miles compilations do we need with clever titles like cool miles or love miles or the countless rvg reissues that have been rereleased twice in 10 years, while other music sits in the vaults. but here is a package that i must admit, i could not resist.the coffee table book included is well made loaded with great photos and commentary, all be it ,commentary weve heard a 1000 times[this is assuming that people who havent all ready fell under the spell of this masterpiece arent buying this ].this is probably an insiders purchase, those who have made love with this music setting the mood.those who have sit alone on a rainy day watching the rain pelt the ground[porgy and bess is good for that too]and those who always return to this time and time again, it is the rosetta stone of modern jazz.and i cant seem to shake its spell ,i first heard it 10 years ago, i am now 36 and i of course went head long in to miles's music as well as modern jazz and jazz rock fusion due too jazz, i just wish i would have listened to kind of blue and modern jazz sooner.i feel i wasted the first 26 years of my life listening to meaningless drivel.i remenber the first few times i listened to this, how meloncholy it was, how simmering with a slow burning heat it had . "blue in green" my favorite tune from the album has this desolation, this lonely dark brooding inner looking quality. when miles comes in with that harmon mute, he saying yeah man, i understand. life is tough some times.man that tune cuts you to the core.every composition has its own story to tell,so what, with that mysterious intro and laid back feel , freedie freeloader, with its uptown strut, its happy go lucky approach, all blues with its strolling down the street ,enjoying the sights and sound of a casual walk. and flamenco sketches, also back to that lonely blue in green feeling ,but this time with a little hope sprinkled in, i must tell you personally i have realy felt as is i got my moneys worth, the full size poster, the book, the lp, the 8 by 10 photos, bill evens's hand written liner notes.this is a celebration of the greatest jazz album of all time. and ime glad im able to enjoy this. i highly recommend this to all who have a passion for this album. if you haven't heard it. just buy the cd. discover its greatness. then later on down the road, this will be waiting . [the lp does have a warmer sound than the cd , but make sure you judge it by a good top quality turn table and tone arm, a gold needle would help too, grannies 60 year old high fi with the original needle wont cut it].

Great record
Nicely packaged and arrived in excellent shape. Love the album. Have it in CD form but I like the sound of it better on vinyl. The colored vinyl I like a lot. Have recently purchased other records that are colored and its a nice addition.

Fills my collection perfectly
Obviously one of the preeminent recordings of all time. This version on blue vinyl is visually stunning as well.

Un infaltable en colección de vinilos
Excelente producto. Es perfecto para quienes coleccionan vinilos. Es un clásico que definitivamente vale la pena tener en cualquier colección. La entrega se demoró un poco más de lo inicialmente indicado, probablemente por ser diciembre, pero valió totalmente la pena. Era un regalo de Navidad para mi hijo y quedó muy feliz con el álbum.

Lovely, lovely recording.
It's hard to believe this came from the 1950s; the recording quality is surprsingly good and deserves the180-gram pressing. I'm very glad to have bought it.
