jazz virgin - By: R. Jarvis, 02 May 2010 I didn't know I liked jazz.I ordered Kind of blue as it was so cheap.Now I can't stop playing that cool layed back sound.
Pure jazz heaven. - By: Alister King, 28 Apr 2010 Where does one begin with a masterpiece like this? The biggest selling jazz album of all time? The one jazz album that every music fan owns? Well maybe, but I like the strory of middle class Miles trying to gain credibility by developing a Parker-esqu smack habit, then realising its affecting his music, goes home to his parents, & locks himself awayin his bedroom for some self imposed cold turkey. He emerges clean, puts together a new sextet, goes into the studio with some ideas around modal jazz, & comes out with this. Genius. Pure jazz heaven.
Free and Fresh - By: D. Elliott, 08 Apr 2010 Here is the opportunity, at a knock-down price, to obtain what is claimed to be the most popular jazz album of all time. By its 50th birthday last year (2009) the `Kind of Blue' album had received 4 platinum certificates signifying 4 million sales. It is understood that when the original recordings were made trumpeter Miles Davis gave band members only brief melody lines & scales on which to improvise, & it is further understood there were very few repeats necessary during recording. The lack of firm instructions & the willingness to accept consequences allowed the musicians to break away from chord-laden compositions & the results are impressively free & fresh making for wonderfully easy & relaxed listening. It is also claimed that `Kind of Blue' influenced not only other jazz musicians but also other genres from `rock' to `classical' - let it influence you - it's cheap enough!
