I'm frugal with 10's but this went from 9 to 10, the whole album is a 10, not even arguably.

Okay kids.  Stop what you are doing.  Put down your phones.  Take those stupid air pods out.  Open your minds.  And listen.  This is greatness captured in a moment.  Greatness.  Period.

I see a few comments not liking this. Sure, everyone to their taste, but I wonder if the velocity of our lives has made it harder to sit back and think about the music that is playing. Or maybe it's because music delivery has changed so much. Listening to music used to be interactive and encompassing. It was a deliberate act to select an album, place it on the turntable, and start it. Now music is a background to our other activities. I'm guilty, though when something contemplative (like this) comes on I'll stop what I'm doing and give it its due. My turntable gathers dust and, I fear, so does my mind.


Well said. I have to admit it's been a long time since I listened to an entire album all the way through. And just sit and really listen.

Platinum 5 times over. Greater than 5MM records sold.

And one of the greatest line ups in jazz history.

Thanks Miles

One of the best albums of all time, IMO. Recorded in one day. You can tell the quintet was so rehearsed, that they could walk in and lay down amazing chops and harmonies like this. Thank you, RP!

A freight train? I realize that he could play with quiet finesse, but on the occasions I saw McCoy Tyner, the effect was overwhelming. Especially when he was touring with Airto and company. Mix in LSD and a small jazz club and this was not a relaxed evening. Mind-blowing though. I could seen the colors of the music. The music was rather different from this...

Yeah, I do the same thing with my music catalog that I ripped, digital and analog. I used to listen to the catalog from album to album, now it is on shuffle more as background, tho sometimes something comes on that makes me stop. I do spin my records from time to time and sit back and enjoy.

I understand. I think. Are you a rock and roll junkie? Did you arrive at adulthood in the '80s with AC DC or Metallica or some such as the soundtrack? That would explain it. If you find this "depressing", it's possible you shrink from the interstellar greatness of movie soundtracks like Taxi Driver. What a loss.
Are you averse to bluesy jazz by the sounds of the instruments, or the images or emotions they evoke? You do know that jazz is the ONLY form or genre of art in whatever medium that is exclusively American? We the people invented or were first at virtually no other creative expression, and the inarguable best at almost nothing of anything. Jazz is the American joint, and Miles (albeit admittedly among many others) has been one of the leading lights.  Please expand your sensibilities. It's good for you.

The only way to satisfy your desire to give such a transcendent piece its due is to reduce all of your other song ratings, reserving "10" for such as this.

I think perhaps it is just impossible to express the scope of my gratitude for a work such as this, and that is my true frustration. It is part of our human condition. The only real solace for this deep dissatisfaction is to create our own art, to offer the very best of ourselves to the world, or to at least one other person. Can it be any other way?
 
Alternatively, I'm going to increase all other songs to reserve a new low for the likes of this. WTF my ears!

I recently read an article on NPR about the top 100 jazz songs of all time, and every track from "Kind of Blue" made the list.  The lowest ranked song from the album was No. 36.  It's most definitely one of the top albums of all time - of any genre.

I saw Miles at the Concord Pavilion about 1980.  He was very quiet and sort of rude.  Had his back to the audience most of the time.

This piece has Bill Evans written all over it and in some cases credit is given to Evans-Davis. B Evans was the pianist during Davis' peak of creativity. When he left, Davis' went downhill faster than the World Trade Center. Another Evans, Gil, also helped make Miles Davis. If anyone does a little research on Bill and Gil Evans they may well see that Miles Davis is a great instrumentalist, not the genius he is promoted to be. Check out the music of Bill & Gil. They are the true giants of the age. They continued to piece together amazing sounds even after Miles Davis.
You're right. Both Evans defined Davis' sound in the late '50s.
