Utterly Sublime October 6, 2008
Some Kind of Blue is the ultimate example of jazz as defining mood. The music is utterly sublime and the album historical with performances by Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley, Jimmy Cobb, John Coltrane, Paul Chambers, Wynton Kelly and, of course, Miles Davis. These names resonate with jazz aficionados, which along with its accessibility, is precisely the reason why this album is a perfect introduction to anyone interested in jazz and essential to one's collection.
The End of an Era September 15, 2008
With a line-up including Cannonball Adderley, Paul Chambers, James Cobb, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, and of course, the magnificent John Coltrane (all of this besides the one and only Miles Davis), how could this album be anything but incredible? With all of that remarkable and diverse talent, it's a wonder this record isn't a bit more ostentatious, or at least a little self indulgent. However, listening to Kind of Blue, one gets the distinct impression that the musicians involved in this recording felt were less concerned with wild solo work than with creating a pleasant atmosphere for the listener. They seem to be at ease with one another, and the record flows marvelously well. The pacing is cool and calm and lures you into a state of relaxation unlike few albums I've ever encountered. This edition of the classic release adds a bonus alternate version of "Flamenco Sketches" which to my ears may even better the original. This is a very logical place for the uninitiated jazz listener to start, as it is a staple of every jazz collection and one of the most accessible jazz works ever recorded.

I'm not the master of jazz, nor the expert in jazz listening. But this is one of the most recordings in any music library. The all-star lineup on this recording is unbeatable, and the beautiful sound quality makes it a pleasure to listen to.
For the bridging of avant-gard jazz, free jazz, and traditional blues, this masterpiece provides a wealth of historical and stylistic information and musical inspiration.
What else can I say? Get it!
