About

- The Analog Vault // Essential Listening -

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.
