Just browsing through the Miles Davis products the other day, I was amazed to see that the average rating for "Kind of Blue" was only 4.5 stars. Intrigued as to what kind of person does not regard this album as truly exceptional, I scanned the reviews. Those that did not give the album five stars fell broadly into two categories. The first consisted of people who had no jazz records and, having read the reviews, thought this classic would be a good one to start a collection with only to discover that,oops,they don't like jazz.
The second group appeared to be afficianados with a slightly sniffy attitude who view the album as jazz for people who don't really like jazz. There is some truth in that as it is by far the most accesible Miles album to non jazz fans and was my starting point in an apppreciation of jazz and of Miles in particular.
The point of this review is to ask, beseech and implore the reader who does not own this album to ignore these reviews and BUY Kind of Blue immediately. Your life will not be same again.

Referring to "Kind of Blue" as the best jazz album of all time might actually be doing it a disservice. Jazz is one of those complex artforms which many people shy away from, afraid that they will not be able to understand it. So extoling its virtues might frighten people even more. But "Kind of Blue" is simply beautiful music. When listening to it, you forget everything you might feel about jazz, whether good or bad, and can only listen to it, amazed and excited. Miles Davis has created something so powerful yet full of simple, memorable melodies. Every note takes you further into that state where you simply hush up, tell whoever you are with to shut up, and listen. It is certainly not the type of music I would put on when friends come over for a chat. But it is an album which I can listen to, over and over and over again. Definitely something for MUSIC fans.

This was the first jazz album that I ever bought and not knowing anything about the style, I didn't know what to expect. To say I was pleasantly surprised would be a complete understatement but to say that since that day the only music I've listened to has been jazz (be it Benny Goodman or Jaco Pastorius!) would be about right. From the opening bars of "So What" you know that you're listening to a masterpiece and a piece of history that could never be repeated. The 50 minutes just disappear and I guarantee when it's over you will go and press play again - I have been listening to it for years and I'm still finding new bits that I've missed! There is not one fault to be found with this album - it is pretty perfect...As albums go!

A Classic
Not a great Jazz lover, me, I prefer rock and jazz-rock (Weather Report, Mahavishnu etc) at a push. But this... this is what jazz is all about. Just buy it. Just listen. Read more

Excellent introduction to the genre
My ignorance of jazz was almost total until buying this album, to the extent that I only first heard of Miles Davis in the jazz club scene in the film Collateral. Read more

still the coolest music
After over 50 years this is still one of the the coolest albums ever, along with MJQ of course. Totally ageless, smooth & silky. Before he decided to disappear into the ether. Read more

Kind Of Blue - Kind of Great!
This 1959 album is pretty much the apogee of what I consider to Miles Davis' finest period, where he was interested in the modal cool jazz that he had started to pioneer 10 years... Read more

Great Vinyl to Own
The moment I saw the cover I bought it. I'm a Miles Davis fan, but I don't buy blindly. The moment I received it I just stayed a while enjoying the photograph and the design. Read more
