50 years ago: Miles Davis and 'kind of blue'

[Hornius Emeritus]

We're coming up on the 50th anniversary of the recording of "Kind of Blue."

The Link


I'm listening to it right now. What an LP that was! Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly, Bill Evans .... an incredible lineup. And the songs are supremely beautiful, too, each and every one of them like a little jewel.

If you don't have it, I recommend you download it today.

Awhile back I loaned Kind of Blue to an ex-girlfriend of mine and she lost it. For whatever reason I've never gotten around to replacing it.

I guess I'll do that today.

At Cheapo, in Austin, you can get a copy of it on cd for about 7 bucks in good shape. Vinyl can sometimes be found for about the same price to about ten bucks. The Jazz one can get in there is excellent and at a great price, I suggest it.

Miles is okay but that lineup is no Coldplay.



















Kidding, of course.

I thought 50 yrs ago today was the day the music died.

One of the all time great albums! It kept me going on many all-night study sessions in college.
