Free Music Review: Music on a whole.....'nother.....level......
Hit: 5 Stars
I dabbled in jazz for about 10 years, then bought this disk on its reputation as a seminal album and good for "newbies"- After many many listens, its probably my number one favorite of all time, any genre. The mood is mellow, the structures are simple, but the whole thing is more than the sum of its parts- sublime in the old sense of the word- intelligent, interesting, masterful improvisation by all players. Miles is the man and this IMHO is the album.
Kind of Blue Poster
This is the one jazz record owned by people who don't listen to jazz, and with good reason. The band itself is extraordinary (proof of Miles Davis's masterful casting skills, if not of God's existence), listing John Coltrane and Julian "Cannonball" Adderley on saxophones, Bill Evans (or, on "Freddie Freeloader," Wynton Kelly) on piano, and the crack rhythm unit of Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums. Coltrane's astringency on tenor is counterpoised to Adderley's funky self on alto, with Davis moderating between them as Bill Evans conjures up a still lake of sound on which they walk. Meanwhile, the rhythm partnership of Cobb and Chambers is prepared to click off time until eternity. It was the key recording of what became modal jazz, a music free of the fixed harmonies and forms of pop songs. In Davis's men's hands it was a weightless music, but one that refused to fade into the background. In retrospect every note seems perfect, and each piece moves inexorably towards its destiny. --John SzwedJazz Music CDs
