Kind of Blue is one of my favorite Miles Davis albums. It is also one of my favorite jazz albums too as well as this one is a classic. My favorite songs on this calm album are So What, and Freddie Freeloader. All the songs are great in this album. No CD collection will ever be complete without Miles Davis. For all music fans who want to have a calm collection.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Still VERY relevant... always will be. Masterful.
What's not so great: The alternate take of Flamenco Sketches is unnecessary.
Well, what can one say about arguably the best jazz recording in history? If I remember correctly from the liner notes, most of these tunes were recorded in one take. Now ordinarily with many other types of music, this would not necessarily be considered good at all, but given the generally higher abilities of JAZZ musicians to IMPROVISE, and specifically the "tour de force" that was this particular group of musicians... well, let's just say they were all "in the zone" during these sessions. What I said above in "Cons" regarding the alt. take of Flamenco Sketches being unnecessary, it's not that I wish it were not on this newer remastered edition, it's just that in my opinion the originally-selected version is better, and to double-up on that theme at the end is maybe too much of a good thing, so to speak. But that's only a tiny complaint. Kind of Blue is an absolutely essential CD for the collection of ANY music fan, not just jazz aficionados. If you've never heard it, try this: read the liner notes in the CD booklet, then listen to the songs in a quiet room, and it will change your life... for the better.
I would recommend this to a friend!
