-1959- Flac 24-96 Sacd — Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue

Kind of Blue is one of the most influential jazz albums ever recorded. Released in August 1959, Miles Davis assembled a sextet of near-mythic players — John Coltrane (tenor sax), Julian “Cannonball” Adderley (alto sax), Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Jimmy Cobb (drums) — and captured a set of modal, spacious compositions that reshaped jazz improvisation and composition. The album’s five tracks — “So What,” “Freddie Freeloader,” “Blue in Green,” “All Blues,” and “Flamenco Sketches” — emphasize modality, lyrical phrasing, understatement, and tone over rapid chord changes, creating a timeless, contemplative atmosphere.
