Miles Davis “Kind of Blue” (Blue Vinyl) LP

Kind of Blue puts the focus on trumpet-led modern jazz, from hard bop and modal playing to orchestral and electric experimentation.

• The sessions feature John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums.
• Rather than dense chord changes, much of the record uses modal frameworks that give the soloists unusual space on pieces like “So What” and “Flamenco Sketches.”
• Its combination of accessibility, subtlety, and improvisational freedom has made it one of the most celebrated jazz albums ever recorded.

For fans of John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, and Wayne Shorter.
