Miles Davis
Kind of Blue It is one of the essential pieces in a Jazz collection, as well as a treat for anyone who enjoys black music from the late fifties and early sixties, when the wildest trends of musicians like John Coltrane or the Duke Ellington's subtle touch. Kind of Blue, which opens with So What, surely the jewel in Davis's crown, is re-released this week, fifty years after its publication. The original recording from 60 (made in the time equivalent to a short workday and which included a team of luxury musicians, among whom was John Coltrane himself) is accompanied in this fiftieth anniversary reissue of the alternative takes that were carried out on each topic. In addition, it includes a documentary about the recording with statements by the musicians and outtakes. It is undoubtedly a deluxe edition of five essential songs in a Jazz collection.
