About this item

Originally released in 1959, Miles Davis's magnum opus Kind of Blue is considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time. Starring Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb, Kind of Blue has held onto its status as an album that crosses genres, speaks to generations, and is one of the first albums that any new jazz acolyte purchases. Kind of Blue 50th Anniversary Legacy Edition offers the complete studio sessions on 2 CDs, including false starts, alternate takes, and a 17-minute 1960 live version of "So What. " The Legacy Edition exposes a new generation to Miles Davis and places this historic album in context -- offering over 2 hours of audio that illustrates how this unparalleled ensemble evolved; plus never-before-heard session talk; and accompanying liner notes rich with detail and written specifically for the golden anniversary of the album.
