About

A TAV Essential Listening Album 

The American jazz cannon brims with brilliance, but if one had to pick the definitive jazz album, most would point to Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue. Beyond being a paragon of its own storied genre, Kind of Blue is undoubtedly one of the greatest works of art of the 20th century. Captained by Davis alongside a dream team of Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb - this album remains revolutionarily inventive. With only the barest sketch of a concept in mind, these seven masters took turns leading the music in directions that defied strict chord progressions - resulting in something immensely cool, romantic, melancholic and melodic. Kind of Blue is the rare, universally-beloved record that earns every bit of hyperbole ever heaped upon it.
