"Kind Of Blue" by Miles Davis was released in 1959. "Kind of Blue" is regarded by many critics as jazz's greatest record, Davis's masterpiece, and one of the best albums of all time. Its influence on music, including jazz, rock, and classical genres, has led writers to also deem it one of the most influential albums ever recorded.

#MilesDavis' #KindofBlue is influential--not just because it's the greatest jazz album of all time. Richard Williams 2009 book, The Blue Moment: Miles Davis's Kind of Blue and the Remaking of Modern Music, makes the case that Kind of Blue influenced everyone from #theVelvetUnderground to #BrianEno. No doubt the album led to the creation of a whole sub-genre, #ECM. After Kind of Blue, #BillEvans never again recorded with Miles Davis. But Evans was just getting started.

#MilesDavis and #BillEvans produced sublime music together. Davis said he planned #KindofBlue around Evans' piano. Evans took some heat for being a white guy in the hippest Black band on the planet. But it was nothing compared to the racism Davis endured. He was assaulted & bloodied by the police in 1959 for having a smoke outside a NYC club where he was playing. Davis' name was on the marquee, he was at the height of his fame & Kind of Blue had just been released.

Kind Of Blue
2015 Europe reissue

The perfect record for a Friday night in.
Football on mute, a little bourbon, and Miles.
Perfect.
Not much to say about this masterpiece that hasn’t been said already.
Excuse me, Miss, do you mind if I got all up in your #jazz ?

@Beatlesandworms I also recommend #MilesDavis: #TheBirthOfTheCool, #Netflix, about the very problematic man who created what most people think of when they think of jazz.

This is as much a #musical #history of the #art form from the 50's to 70's, as the man.

#KenBurns' #documentary #series, #Jazz, is a great history of the #music from birth into the 1990's.

Great starting point for all interested in jazz.

@brooklynmarie #Jazz can fit or make any mood, like a universal (at least "western") language.

#KindOfBlue always works for me, especially #SoWhat.

I consider that #album the perfect example of the #art; the pinnacle of jazz.

@Geoffberner Right, #NewYorkCity, where in 1959 #MilesDavis was having a smoke & signing autographs between sets outside a club. His name was on the marquee. Two police officers beat, bloodied & arrested him for disorderly conduct & resisting arrest. He had just released #KindofBlue.

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Hey! I'm a cliché!

This is a classic for a reason, and the Acoustic Sounds/QRP version is great. This one isn't my Dad’s - it's mine. I wasn't able to find his original (although I know it's there somewhere)…

This track is a few years old but new to my ears

In my (and thousands more) humble opinion, the best album in recorded music history is Kind of Blue, and I've heard a ton of interpretations of the songs, but this is the first one I've encountered with a Reggaefication treatment

After the debacle of #MUFC’s humiliation, I’m consoling myself with an Old Fashioned & #MilesDavis. I’m #NowPlaying #KindOfBlue, one of the greatest albums of all time.

This is the #UHQR from #AnalogueProductions cut at 33 by #BernieGrundman. My copy, unfortunately, has a pressing defect on the the first 30 seconds of Blue In Green. Otherwise this is immaculate, stunning, & oh so moving - bested only by the UHQR at 45 (which I also have).

@AndyT Delicious. We have ‘Kind of Blue’ on 180g - fabulous pressing.

I'm listening to Miles Davis' album "Kind of Blue," released in 1959 on the Columbia label. The holy grail of music, in my opinion. Features John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb. I don't think I've ever heard a better lineup. Modal jazz at its finest. And "So What," for all the times I've heard it, always takes me a place of stillness and peace.

Today I’m #writing & #amlistening to #jazz, starting with #Milestones. This is the #KevinGray cut from #ColumbiaLegacy, picked up this year alongside the #MoFi pressing.

Both sound amazing, but the Gray cut is, I think, more natural with a slightly tighter low end & consequently feels more nimble.

This #album, alongside #InASilentWay, #SketchesOfSpain, #SomethingElse, &, of course, #KindofBlue are my go to #MilesDavis (at the mo, anyway).

The cymbal crash on the downbeat at the beginning of Miles' solo in So What is a total blast! #kindofblue #miles #jimmycobb

Ich freue mich ja sehr, dass österr. Medien wg. sinkendem Gasverbrauch so stolz auf uns sind, aber könnten die auch mal darüber berichten, dass viele von uns ohne Kostüm u. Maske im nächsten Avatarschinken mitspielen könnten (nur 1/2 im Spaß gemeint)? #KindOfBlue #EnergySaving #IDontDareTurnUpTheHeat
