Miles Davis – Kind of Blue (2LPs, 45RPM, Mobile Fidelity)

If the question on who wants to be a millionaire is ever asked about the most famous of all jazz albums, this Miles Davis album from 1959 is a safe candidate. Entire books have been written about Kind Of Blue and what other album has so many editions? The band hadn’t played through a single track before Davis asked them into the studio while recording was in progress. Maybe jazz heavyweights like John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb didn’t have to, because that’s how Kind Of Blue became a classic. Davis, on the other hand, remained true to his reputation as an eccentric and described the album as a failure.
