Kind of Blue [2LP]

Kind of Blue is a landmark 1959 jazz album by Miles Davis. It is known for its cool, spacious, and introspective sound and is one of the most important examples of modal jazz. Instead of relying heavily on complex chord changes, the musicians improvise around simple scales and modes, giving the performances a relaxed, open quality.

The album features an extraordinary group of musicians: John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb.
