	kind of blue
		But the influence of Kind Of Blue, even to the point of becoming a kind of obsession, wasn't unusual at all; it was highly characteristic of musicians of our generation, mine and Duane's.
		We know Kind Of Blue is a great and eminently listenable jazz album, "one of the most important, as well as sublimely beautiful albums in the history of jazz" in the words of Miles biographer Eric Nisenson.
		Kind Of Blue is, in a sense, all melody--and atmosphere.

	NPR's Jazz Profiles: Miles Davis Kind of Blue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Kind of Blue brought together seven now-legendary musicians in the prime of their careers: tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, alto saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, pianists Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Jimmy Cobb and of course, trumpeter Miles Davis.
		Even before Kind of Blue, Davis was experimenting with "modal" jazz, keeping the backround of a tune simple while solists played a melody over one or two "modes," or scales, instead of busy chord progressions -- the usual harmonic foundation of jazz.
		Kind of Blue still sells dozens of copies an hour, steadily expanding its audience more than 40 years after its release.

		"Kind of Blue," Davis' 1959 album, is arguably the most popular and most influential jazz album ever made.
		It was a watershed moment in the development of jazz both because of its content and because of the talents it assembled.
		"Kind of Blue" was recorded at Columbia's 30th Street facility in New York, a converted church, and a favored venue for session players of the day.

		KIND OF BLUE (1959) has a stark, hushed, understated, but very heady nature, a staggering difference from the previous year's MILESTONES.
		KIND OF BLUE went on to become a mega-classic, historic and trend setting.
		And, the importance of KIND OF BLUE as a record is deserving of all the hoopla that can possibly be mustered on its behalf.

	Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
		Kind of Blue is a jazz album that has transcended the genre of jazz and become one of a handful of recordings whose very existence changes everything.
		It also casts a kind of Zen calmness, perhaps due in part to its one-take mythology and the enigmatic liner notes written by pianist Bill Evans.
		Freddie Freeloader is a fairly straight-forward blues and allows the soloists to stretch out in a familiar form, each showing their individuality and mastery of their instrument.

		KIND OF BLUE was the ultimate fulfilment of this approach,with Miles providing his collaborators little more than outlines for melodies and simple scales for improvisation.
		Often credited to Davis, "Blue In Green" is an Evans masterpiece, in which the rhythmic oasis becomes a smoky mirage for Davis' minor reveries on muted horn.
		The waltzing "All Blues" is one of thesmoothest, most swinging grooves in the history of jazz, while "Flamenco Sketches" reflects Miles fascination with the earthy melodies and brooding metaphors of the Iberian peninsula...a harbinger of his next masterpiece, SKETCHES OF SPAIN.

		The real social significance of Kind of Blue was that within a year of its release it was the first handshake between musicians in a wide variety of situations.

		He was called back to play on the now legendary "Kind of Blue" album in the spring of 1959.
		Bill, in fact, penned "Blue In Green" (though the writer's credit still usually goes to Miles, the Miles Davis Estate has finally admitted in 2002 on the official website, that Evans wrote the tune) and his piano sound is so much a part of the ambience of this historic album.
		"Kind of Blue" also featured the legendary musicians John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb.

	CD Baby: G.ORG: A New Kind of Blue
		This year marks the 45th anniversary of the release of "Kind of Blue" and Gary Guthrie has plied his "what if" curiosity by producing one of the more intriguing jazz records of 2004 - "A New Kind of Blue," a fresh version of Miles Davis' classic.
		Guthrie's instructions to the band were simple: give the set an authentic, passionate reading with some intense color; solo within the scales; let things stretch out a bit; and give the listener a chance to experience the sonic differences of that 1959 moment if it were to happen today.
		This might well be how "Kind of Blue" would have turned out if it had been issued in the CD era, and with a slightly different line-up.

	Miles Davis - Kind of Blue SACD review on AudioRevolution.com
		Notable on the SACD version of the album is an alternate take of the last track, “Flamenco Sketches,” which isn’t found on most CD versions of Kind of Blue.
		Another improvement on the SACD release is correction of the tape speed, which fixes a pitch problem that caused musicians trying to play along with the record to end up pulling out their hair in frustration.
		As a guitar player, I never had the urge to try to play along with Kind of Blue, but I surmise that the improvements made in the pitch of the album, along with other improvements, all add up to the discernable difference you can hear on the SACD version.

		One reviewer has called it "a record generally considered as the definitive jazz album, a universally acknowledged standard of excellence." [1] Several of the songs from the album have become jazz standards and are very often covered by others.
		In 1958, however, the arrival of Ornette Coleman on the jazz scene via his fall residency at the Five Spot club, consolidated by the release of his The Shape of Jazz to Come LP the same year, muted the impact of Kind of Blue, a happenstance that irritated Davis to no end.
		Quincy Jones, one of Davis' longtime friends, wrote: "That [Kind of Blue] will always be my music, man. I play Kind of Blue every day — it's my orange juice.

		At the time it was made, Kind of Blue was also a revolution all its own.
		Two numbers, "All Blues" and "Freddie Freeloader" (the latter featured Wynton Kelly at the ivories in place of Evans), were in twelve-bar form, but Davis' approach allowed his players a cool, new, collected freedom.
		Evans wrote in his original liner notes, "Miles conceived these settings only hours before the recording dates and arrived with sketches which indicated to the group what was to be played.

		Even if the RIAA's numbers are debatable (based as they are on a telephone sample of 3051 record buyers, with a 2.2 percent margin of error), the worry among executives at the major labels is not.
		The RIAA's figures are especially grim when you consider that it defines jazz to include Kenny G. Smaller record labels will continue to document the most adventurous jazz, as they always have, and the larger ones can stay in the game if they bet smart, stay lean, and don't expect too much.
