Miles Davis - Kind of Blue 50th Anniversary 

Kind of Blue, possibly the coolest album ever made.

Possibly the greatest album of all time. Only five pieces of music... but could cover and capture any mood for the listener. Sounds crazy, but I remember sitting in my car in traffic and Flamenco Sketches was playing. The weather was cold and rainy with just a touch of snow... and it was just a perfect moment. Magic. Thanks Miles... lol... I even had a cat named after him.

as a teenager this was probably my greatest musical influence!!! thanks goodness!!!

And yet, it's still one of the greatest albums ever released.

You don't love music until you can appreciate this

Bought my first jazz record, you can all guess which one I chose. What a masterpiece. If melancholy was a sound, this would be it. Perfection, from start to finish.

Wish I had heard it 15 years before I did in the mid 70's. Been a Jazz addict ever since. Thanks for posting the doc, I'm sharing it.

They are all Great, but Kind of Blue is my favorite!

Kinda Blue will never never EVER go out of style.....The best Miles Davis album of all time...HANDS DOWN!!

i totally agree with ed bradley it is the most significant album i have ever heard.it is an album that i can play every day of my life.

Magical, perfect. Oh God, thank you for this wonderful musician.

its the next gen man im downloading it right now, all kinds of ages listen to all kinds of music especially with the internet these days : )

Jazz makes me feel pretty joyous really. The fact that Miles and the rest of these cats were gifted and talented is just the icing on the cake.

A great artist....one of a kind.

simply amazing, a cathartic harmonic convergence of time and space,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Miles Davis is one of my all-time favourite musicians, and to some people that's surprising, because he didn't really have the same level of technical virtuosity that guys like Dizzy Gillespie did. But what Miles did have was that rare gift of being able to play the perfect note every time. You listen to his solos, and it's like it was meant to be. You can't even imagine the music without the notes he plays - until he plays it again, in a different way, and it's perfect all over again..

All wound up, feeling hyper...turn out the lights, strap on the earphones, turn on this. Total chill.

Kind of Blue...Kind of Cool...Kind of Miles. When I was really turning on to jazz (1975-1981), Davis took a six year vacation (to re-discover his art). There is no excuse for my missing his final 10 years (1981-1991) except I probably had lost my mind. Those who disliked this were probably jealous. And I can understand that. When you miss the baddest, coolest, greatest jazz musician ever to walk the earth you've got to get angry at something.

50jaar geleden ,kind of blue gekocht ❤. Er zijn vele goede platen de revue gepasseerd, maar je houdt altijd een special 🎉.

Pure Genius! Kind of blue is a timeless classic.

a TRUE artist ...... musicians today couldn't carry his laundry. There will never be another artist like him !!

Happy B'day Mr Davis, thanks for your legacy

This is about as good as it gets. It's happy, sad and cool all at the same time.

Discovering...how genuine of MIles...what a man.

This is my favorite album of all time, no doubt.

Stunning beauty.The Master.

A MASTER OF "THE FEEL" a true dealer of mood

Thank you for this important posting; a jazz fan!

Miles Davis The Genius!

What can I say, THANK YOU!!!

Brilliant! My god, wonderful.

The genius!!! the master!!!, the one and only Miles Davis!!!. This tune is one of my favorites!. "So what"!.

Miles is the man!

I love this record.

I remember playing "Four" in my schools jazz band we had listened to it first and it was amazing. Then when we played and instead of the suggested tempo we start at almost double time. It made the song that more memorable to us but we all stilled loved how the original went.

Miles ahead. He was great.

This album is amazing.

Un capolavoro assoluto. Grazie Miles.

Genius !! What more ???

Hearing Miles Is like a gourmet food for your soul...

@Gnocchi you were born in the right time. i say what you say everyday and cry watching the woodstock footage. if you were born then you would probally listen to them, or not, being born in this age now we can look back and say "damn" time to evolve. i wish i was right there with miles when he recorded his tracks.......we will never know. never.

GENIUS

I'm like 17 now and i'm getting into jazz and Davis is one of my favs.

I'm still in agreement. "Kind of Blue" is the without a doubt, the finest jazz recording ever. I know its been said time and time again, but if you want to listen to and learn about jazz, this album is the one to begin with. That's right, I said album. (I still have my original album purchase in perfect condition although I did purchase the box set on CD.)

So BRIGHT and BLUE ....

This is a masterpiece in musical recording.

The Greatest!

miles has a real nice sound to him. Can't say much more, I ain't no music expert or jazz man, but I know what sounds good and what doesn't. nice.

Amazing stuff...

The number one jazz album in history still today.....still amazing. Even the RIAA has it listed as the number one jazz album ever.

I do love Miles Davis´ music.

man the first time I heard it I knew miles had gotten to that place, God I said to myself to think I have been given the privilege to be alive to testify

I think I was 24 when I heard it. The documentary is correct. If you were a musician or really have a passion for music this is a must have. I do believe his nephew did a hip-hop rendition of one of the songs. Now before you knock it. Listen to it.

The Kind Of Blue album is the single standing alone best ever jazz album... simply divine & sublime... no other can or has come close to touching it...

Music making history. Nothing like Kind of Blue, nobody like Miles. My life is happier because of the album. It sound ridiculous, but is true.

big miles, BIG

Tre bon mon ami! Merci.

Jazz is reallly a great music... i love it :-))

Sans doute le plus grand album de blues chez les Bopers, immense et incontournable transition dans la musique du 20ème siècle Miles était un Génie entouré de génies.

Just relaxing......

Miles and Miles......

King of cool.

Grazie!

I had a cat named Miles... He was the coolest cat ever.

Miles.......Sho' Nuff!

what really pisses me off is why the hell doesent this have more views this is real music why the hell do people not realise this.

I have a Bible and Miles! Speaking only for myself, I enjoy them both passionately....Bblessed

This was play in the backround of the Tommy B. show KBCA 105.1 Jazz Los Angeles back in the day

6:56 So true. I would feel safe recommending this album to anyone.

I WOULD LOVE TO LEARN PLAY LIKE MILES DAVIS

this makes me glad my parents named me after this man.

people should not be alowed to talk aboute this it is some holy shit

@Sdiddy810 Thank you very much. I have not read such beautiful words for a long time.

This and Sketches of Spain(it's successor) together sum up what Jazz was all about

I'm amazed this album solk so many copies at the time. It certainly isn't "easy" music, and of course back then modal jazz was very new.

@Sdiddy810 Great post mate, put a smile on my face.

the top

One kool, brutha...Period!

yeah ninikolaev the problem with miles is that he has done so many styles in his time, from the bebop to the "cool" to the hard bop....he has played in so many styles

Was that John Coltrane standing back there?? My God. Just phenomenal.

Mile Davis was the Pelé of trumpet

I want a time machine for the 1959, Now!!!

I don’t trust anyone that doesn’t have Kinda Blue in their record collection .

true that

They*re playing at the barcelona Jazz festival right now. Well Jimmy Cobb is, and its a tribute to "Kind of Blue"

Wat Miles Davis betekende voor de jazz is wat David Bowie betekent heeft voor de popcultuur en Beethoven voor de klassieke muziekontwikkeling.

let's see!

Man! At 5.26 notice the rack of coat hangers in the studio for the musicians. WHY didn’t I think of that.

this album is sorta spooky in a way. I love the way it makes me feel

Great Jimmy Cobb rip💙😢

Lol.. I'm gonna give you that one, my friend. Yes.. It's the greatest recording of all time. I was just being nice. :)

Rap is the cousin to all musical artforms in this country, but jazz in particular where it gets much of its improv style and sense instantaneous creation from.

oh yeah...

Everyone should buy this album, listen to it and experience it. Is it true John Coltrane recorded was on Kind of Blue? If so, think about the fact Coltrane was on that historic album and the equally great, Love Supreme.

That's true

Miles was the Stravinsky of Jazz. Both awarded by UNESCO, if I remember well, as the musicians with the great influences in 20th century music.

@mariakmn That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. Except the one to told me was a man named Kevin Ball. And boy was he right. Miles was the MASTER.

They are called valves and keys, interchangeably, but you are correct

my mother was right, i would love jazz at some point..now that i've listened enough of all that fake music, it's time to enjoy this masterpiece...:)

bk8288 & Sdiddy810 said it all....Right-On!
