Kind of Blue is a studio album by American jazz musician Miles Davis, released August 17, 1959 on Columbia Records, in both mono and stereo. Recording sessions for the album took place at Columbia’s 30th Street Studio in New York City on March 2 and April 22, 1959. The sessions featured Davis’s ensemble sextet, which included pianists Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly, drummer Jimmy Cobb, bassist Paul Chambers, and saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian “Cannonball” Adderley. Production for the album was handled entirely by record producers Teo Macero and Irving Townsend. Following the inclusion of Bill Evans into his sextet, Davis followed up on the modal experimentations of Milestones (1958) and the ‘58 Sessions. Influenced by pianist George Russell’s concept of scale-based musical improvisation, Davis conceived Kind of Blue entirely on modality in contrast to his earlier work with the hard bop style of jazz and its complex chord progression.

afinityjm "Kind of Blue" es al jazz lo que "Thriller", de Michael Jackson, al pop: un trabajo definitivo que cambió la historia de la música para siempre, tanto en lo musical como en lo comercial. Grabado en 1959, "Kind of Blue" presenta el mejor momento del primer quinteto de Miles Davis con John Coltrane al saxo tenor, Bill Evans al piano, Paul Chambers al contrabajo y Jimmy Cobb a la batería. Además de la colaboración de Julian “Cannonball” Adderley al saxo alto y de Wynton Kelly al piano en un tema. Unánimemente, y de acuerdo a la mayoría de los críticos, es el disco más importante de la historia del jazz. Todos los temas son ya clásicos y forman parte de los repertorios habituales de músicos y grupos de jazz. Su música es para disfrutarla una y mil veces, amig@s!
