Miles' Masterpiece Turns 50
Kind Of Blue: 50th Anniversary
Originally recorded in 1959, Kind of Blue is widely regarded as
the definitive jazz album and a universally acknowledged standard of excellence. Even fifty years after it's release it continues to sell about 5,000 copies per week. Representing the pinnacle of modal jazz, Miles Davis brought together John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley, Paul Chambers & Jimmy Cobb and assembled a band that changed the face of jazz forever. This deluxe 50th anniversary edition is a treasure trove that includes the following:
CD 1: The original album, digitally remastered with bonus tracks.
CD 2: The first live session performed by the group (May 26, 1958), plus The Den Haag Concert and The Zurich Concert.
DVD: Expanded Making Of Kind Of Blue documentary, as well as the historic television program The Sound Of Miles Davis, filmed in 1959.
Premium 180 gram Blue Vinyl companion
Hardcover book with additional memorabilia.
High quality prints of photos taken at the recording sessions.
Extensive essays by Francis Davis, Ashley Kahn and Gerald Early.
"Let’s face it - you may not need this Collector’s Edition - but if Kind of Blue has brought the aural pleasures to your life that it has to us jazz junkies - then you must have this dream box set. Sell or give away to new acolytes your earlier copies. You’ll be doing them a service and getting a down payment on the golden anniversary edition of the greatest jazz album ever made."
-Audiophile Audition (audaud.com)
"Kind of Blue towers above everything else not only because it is immediately accessible to anyone with a desire to fall under its spell, but also because it paradoxically is quite challenging to unravel and comprehend its seductive mysteries. No matter how many times a person hears a song such as Flamenco Sketches, the tune never fails to reveal something new, and arguably a more timeless or perfect album has never been made." -The Music Box
"It draws you in and holds you as only the highest art can. There aren't too many recordings that demand such attention and appreciation. This package does: a towering achievement for past, present and future listeners to pass along and cherish."
