by cripper  - Top 500, Nov 25 '03
Pros: Top-class jazz music
Cons: Na-da
Miles Davis has always been one of my favourite trumpet players and a personal idol of mine (I'm a trumpet player too). Davis was immediately recognized for his undeniable talent during the early 50s period of 'hot jazz'. His ability to seemingly hit ...

Pros: It's one of the most significant jazz releases
Cons: None
"The music has gotten thick....". That was part of a quote from the legendary Miles Davis describing how modern jazz was becoming too elaborate and was losing its simplistic appeal. He explained how modern jazz music was becoming too ...

Pros: -
Cons: -
Life. That’s what Kind of Blue sounds like. I didn’t say that, a friend did. But, he pinpointed why Kind of Blue is the album that it is. It sounds like life. A person hears it and they subliminally relate to it. They ...

Pros: Regarded as Classic, essential to every music collection.
Cons: By who?
Having recently returned from Europe, I am perplexed with the notion of classical art. We as a society have classified certain works as the masterpiece of their respective field. The Mona Lisa, The Sistine Chapel, Chartres Cathedral, Beethoven's 9th,...

Pros: Relaxing Music, all songs really do sound different
Cons: NONE, ABSOLUTELY NONE!!
It is kind of weird that I haven't ever listened to any of Miles Davis's music before, until I bought this album. Now I am hooked and have already bought 2 of his other albums and can't wait until I listen to them.
This is probably the most...

by Horswispr - Top 100, Jun 11 '00
Pros: Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Julian Adderley, and John Coltrane together
Cons: Absolutely None
One of the things that makes jazz music so interesting is the balance between structure and improvisation. Most jazz tunes have a certain metric structure, and a certain melody, which is introduced in the first few measures. Following this introduction,...

by fuche_bu - Top 500, Oct 26 '00
Pros: Miles at a peak
Cons: I'll have to think about it
When I first began to explore jazz music, one of the first musicians I discovered was Miles Davis. This was partly owed to his documented affection for the music of Hendrix. It gave him name notoriety for a rock fan like myself. I was first ...

Pros: Simply a delight to listen to; you just have to read on
Cons: Only runs for an hour?!?
Every now and then, an album will come along to completely re-define a genre; influence upcoming generations of musicians and be forever regarded in the highest echelons of music. Pet Sounds (The Beach Boys) did it, Sgt. Pepper’s ...

Pros: Gorgeous, heavenly music.
Cons: Not a one.
Heavenly.
This scripty adjective is the word that immediately springs to my mind when trying to formulate an accurate description of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue.
Miles Davis is the jazz artist that all rock fans have checked...

Pros: Great remastering, excellent musicians, bonustrack
Cons: I'd like to hear more action (but that's personal)
Kind Of Blue is probably the most influential jazz album ever released. This best-selling record has been remastered for re-release in 1997. It’s the album every jazz-loving person must have in his/her collection. Made by the best musicians...

Pros: see above
Cons: none
I have dreaded the thought of writing this review because I feel that nothing I type could possibly do justice to what I consider to be the greatest jazz album ever recorded. (See, I’ve already caught myself. Why should I qualify it? This could ...

by kidhendrix , Jul 08 '01
Pros: Fantastic improvisation fueled by beautiful compositions.
Cons: Only five songs.
Few albums define an entire genre the way Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue" defines jazz. Though jazz has gone through countless incarnations since it's birth over a century ago, "Kind of Blue" is the single most recommended album for "jazz newbies," and...

by hweinberg , Mar 27 '00
Pros: Beautiful, accessible, complex, simple, magic modal jazz
Cons: none
When I was 13 I had been playing trumpet for five years. I wasn't very good, but I was good enough to want to keep playing. I knew that most classical trumpet music was lame, (pace Wynton Marsalis, I still think so) and I didn't want to be in a...

by maceyr - Top 500, Sep 03 '00
Pros: Soft, and pleasing to the ears, great music at its best
Cons: Some songs may seem too slow and monotonous
I'm first to say I'm no jazz expert and can't really comment on all those technical jazz terms in the quality of the music, the extraordinary and complexity of the modal form that Miles Davis played. But, what I can tell you is that this CD is the...

by Benjamin , Mar 25 '00
Pros: the essential jazz album
Cons: the music won't come to you... you have to go to it the first time. gradually, though, the trip gets more familiar.
I bought this for my father on fathers' day when I was thirteen, on the advice of the local music store salesperson. I was told that it was the quintessential jazz album. But it didn't sound the way I expected a jazz album to sound.
This is...
