Kind Of Blue

Really enjoyed this jazz and blues. This is great background music and very relaxing. They can all play incredibly well.

Did it blow me away? No, but I enjoyed it because it was calm and soothing background music

I didn't love this album. I liked it a lot and it was very nice to do some school work whilst listening to it but I didn't love it. I did like the sax men wombo combo of Cannonball and Coltrane, but that's because I am a little biased towards the saxophone. I did not however very much enjoy the trumpet, but that is through no fault of Miles Davis. He is a phenomenal trumpet player I just am not a big trumpet/brass kinda guy, I think it sounds too bright and tinny for my taste. My favorite parts of this album (kinda surprisingly to me) were the parts where it was just the piano, the bass, and the drummer keeping time in the background. It was very lovely.

ahhhhhhh. just a great album to have on, sip a coffee or tea & relax, or do some work around the house. great musicians-good flow into solo sections on tracks.

With jazz, I really struggle to rate. I have developed a bit of a binary system Do I hate listening to this right now? Can I tolerate it? If it's yes to the first, I'll give it a 2 because I'm not an idiot. I can tell if something is good so not a 1 star, although I'd like to shove my fingers in my ears and scream to block it out. If it's the latter, I'll give it a 3 because it's a massive achievement for a bit of jazz to just not piss me off. I feel pretty awful contributing to a pool of reviews with such an arbitrary system but it's all I have. This album didn't make me mad. So 3 stars. Well done Miles.

Very good but I like words.

Kind of perfect. Me and all my uni friends loved this album. Davis' sax is his voice.

Timeless smouldering jazz with excellent solos from all concerned. It's not the most exciting jazz on offer (one of the contemporary reviews called it sluggish) but it is the perfect accompaniment to a late night/early morning Scotch on the rocks, a fine cigar and good company. This is probably the most famous album by the most famous jazz musician and its status is well deserved. The iconic cover artwork is also amazing.

Quality abstract jazz nonsense, lovely on a summers day with beer amd breeze.

Nice

A good Miles Davis album. "So What" is the standout, but I'm never drawn to put this on. It's music to have on whilst drinking Martinis outdoors on a hot sunny day, whilst chatting with intellectual friends. It's just a bit too long and all a bit too similar.

I thought I'd get bored of this, but nope, great album, classic!

own

As smooth as it gets.

One of the best jazz albums out from a year of jazz classics. In the top tier of albums on this list.

An incredibly smooth album, that can be listened to anywhere.

This is what happens when the music you make is so great, that even people indifferent to jazz will buy your album. Beyond its cemented status as one of the defining albums of the twentieth century, I find it impossible to think how an arrangement of trumpet, sax, piano, bass and drums can create such a supraliminal, fixating soundscape. But Miles pulled it off. Miles pulled off the best jazz album I’ve ever heard.

I was not moved.

Engrained, familiar Pleasing without imposing Simply elegant

10/10

Fun.

For jazz this is good

Bluesy

Classic jazz featuring some of the greatest of the greats. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for a musician it's gold

<3

Miles is a genius

Great sounding album.

There's not much more to say about this one. A nailed-on classic, always the highest jazz album on any all-time greats list.

So honored that the sounds of this album were explored and developed during the first year of my life on this earth. I could listen to this on repeat as the soundtrack of my life. Easy 5 stars.

Not my cup of tea at all.

Se oli hyvää jazzia. Hämärä ja savuinen tunnelma. Parhaat: So What, All Blues

Kinda boring ngl, 2

Incredibly boring, every song sounded the same too. There’s just not much to even talk about

very good

some nice sax stuff but not much to talk about

Super!

Despite the fact this is the jazz album loved by 'people who don't really know a lot about Jazz', it's beauty and brilliance is beyond dispute. Apart from the stellar lineup, opener 'So What' is an indisputable masterpiece, though for me, the incredible 'All Blues' is the standout track on the album! An unforgettable collection of tunes that still holdup, 65 years after its initial release.

Pleasant background noise but a bit boring to me.

Great album, some songs were a bit long, but overall really good.

Das beste zu der Zeit.

Great atmospheric jazz

great example of an album that is excellent for background music. solid effort.

Jazz. 🙄

one of one

It’s just good man. Easy listening, worth a listen if your just vibing out

I think the problem I have with this style of music is that I forget it by the time it's over - it just sounds like background coffee shop music to me. Great for when I want music but don't want to actually pay attention to what I'm listening to.

Who doesn't like this? I love it!

I'm sure it's been said already, but this is one of the most versatile albums of all time. You can choose to get lost in the sounds of the jazzy modulation/chord progression, or just throw this on as background music. Regardless of how you listen, 45 minutes goes by just like that and your time with Miles Davis & co. is over (until you replay the album of course!)

Gave it a listen because it came up, but I would never need to hear this album again to remember most of it and call it a 10/10 every time. Immensely revolutionary, so spacious and exploratory while still being a relaxing experience. An unmatched vibe. Every song is a favorite.

5 never gets old faves: so what, all blues

Nice just to vibe to.

chill but still jazzy

What can you say about something that’s had everything said about it?

Not a huge fan of jazz. However, the album is very versatile as it makes for great background/study music while also containing elements that make it great for active listening.

Okay.

Good background music!

smooth

Yep this is definitely jazz.

This is obviously really really good. Favorite tracks are so what and Freddie freeloader. Conceptually, I want to give this a 5, but I think this is a little too avant garde for me to give this a 5. I think a huge part of what I find to be so infectious about music is melody, particularly vocal melody. This is really good jazz and clearly these are under talented musicians, but I think it inherently lacks something for me that makes it a 4 and not a 5.

One of the best pieces of music ever made

Maybe the only jazz I've ever genuinely enjoyed.

It was fine, nice background music but nothing I'd seek out again

There aren't enough stars in the universe to rate how good this album truly is. I have the record and just kept playing it. Miles was the master.

What can you say about one of the greatest jazz albums of all time.

There is a limit to how much bad you can say about this record. It was immensely influential, and for a good reason. The modal approach to improvisation as well as the very distinct cool sound ended up affecting all jazz and a lot of other music that came after. The solos are iconic, the songs are well crafted and ALL of the musicians went on to form jazz in their own ways. The only negative is that I have heard it too many times to be blown away. This, however, gave me a chance to dig even more into the details of how great it truly is.

Eh

It works if you really want to sit and listen. It works if you just want something in the background. I did not know that it was Bill Evans on the piano on this album. I’ve become a pretty big Evans fan in the last year or so so that pushes this one to the full five stars.

Simply the best of jazz

Probably the greatest studio jazz album ever recorded, at least post-big band era. The Davis Sextet is everything great about bop and modal jazz: tight melodies and hooks quickly transitioning into extended, tasteful solos that ooze effortlessness and cool. Also, the mix of Davis, Coltrane, and Adderley, not to mention Evans, Chambers, and Cobb, is as unfair as it is magical. The skill of these musicians cannot be overstated; their ability to make the runs and solos they do, all at a laid-back and chilled clip, is unparalleled in modern music. A true sampling of incredible, authentic musicianship that extends far beyond the confines of their genre.

Enjoyable listen. Couldn't really tell any of the songs apart though.

I know this record inside and out. It’s fantastic

Really enjoyed having this on, but there wasn't anything in here that has me hungry to return. I enjoy jazz, but I can't say I crave it like other music.

I have heard many of these before and it was pleasant but not my style of music

It's the cliche Greatest Jazz Album Of All Time pick for a reason - this is so good. The third Miles album that's come up, each with it's own unique flavour - he is an undeniable genius, and one of the best musicians ever.

I understand that this is a great record for it's genre and maybe music in general... But it partially gets a bit annoying while listening to it.

A ground breaking and genre defining album!

Bra men inte lika bra som någon tidigare

Well, this feels like a big one. Jazz has not been high up on my list, and this confirms that I do not appreciate the fine touches of the craft. Oh well. 6/10

Loved this

Bit repetitive

Why did none of my music teachers introduce me to this album before? This is the perfect jazz combo.

Always enjoy this type of jazz.

I dig Miles Davis, but I never think of listening to him. I’m familiar with Bitches Brew, but this is a lot smoother and more accessible. This is what you put on while making a nice dinner. Thanks to Vin Scelsa I already knew a couple of these tracks. Good listening for driving through the city on a spring day.

The album I first used to hook my hootie

Een van de beste albums aller tijden.

Swimming in a modal soundscape - pure, golden trumpet from Davis

oh absolutely. 5

Not a big fan of jazz music. It was objectively good, but it was boring to me sorry

Heard before. Have to be in the mood or it gets annoying

When I was a younger, more abrasive, man I often said Jazz was mostly musicians showing off to each other. This is the coolest, most charismatic guy reminding all the showboats that he’s better than they are. And does it with style. I don’t know enough music theory to talk about the music beyond “vibes” but this album definitely makes me feel in a way most jazz does not. 4

Look up the definition of 'Cool' in any dictionary and you should see a picture of Miles Davis just being his badass self. And then you add the rest of this murderer's row of musicians and it is no surprise with just how fantastic of a sound they get. So What is one of the best jazz tunes ever written. All that build up at the beginning, so tense and restrained, then finally release to float off into the groove. Titans of Jazz here just laying down the good stuff.

Ive owned this LP for years. Masterpiece of Jazz. Flamenco sketches is probably my favourite piece of jazz. Bill Evans solo is perfection.

I really like this album. I was never a big jazz fan but a few years ago I began to take an interest and wondered if I was missing something. I read that Miles Davis was a good place to start my jazz journey and his must have album was Kind of Blue. I streamed the album initially but loved the album so much that I have since bought it. I need to be in the mood to listen to it and mostly this tends to be in bed before dropping off to sleep. I still find a lot of jazz a challenge to get into but intend to persevere. My eldest brother who was partly responsible for my overall love of music in general, was a big jazz fan and I have inherited all his vintage jazz vinyl albums. Kind of Blue is a good touch stone to compare other jazz albums. The first track So What is my favourite. Not an expert but I think this follows the classic jazz form with the initial rhythm eventually returning at the end but in between little snatches tempt and tease the listener so that when the the track eventually resolves itself it comes as a relief. So not an easy listen but if you are more than a casual listener gives immense satisfaction.

Kind of jazz

How do I think I am to evaluate it?

The first “1001” album that I was familiar with. One of my favourites… it’s so perfect. Tried to listen to it imagining it’s effect in 1959, pretty hard to do.

ight

So fabulous- love Miles Davis!

Nice. Ended all too quickly.

It's not you, it's me. I don't understand jazz

Trumpet heavy jazzy blues

Impeccable

I didn't like Bitches Brew and I thought that Miles Davis wasn't for me. This album makes me feel relaxed and strongly nostalgic for Hey Arnold, in addition to giving me an appreciation for the depth of jazz.

Det legendariske... Det er ikke kafemusikk, og fuck alle som tenker det.

Ye relaxing jazz and that is

Always an interesting listen. Go to jazz album for those that are interested.

Kind of Blue is a perfect album, and the best Jazz album ever made.

Jazz at its best

Another PTSD album, but this time from having to analyse the chart of so what for music language studies. But still a classic jazz album.

Jazz is not my cup of tea

I acquired this many years ago. It's one of my favorite jazz albums.

All time sound and rhythm, I’m a sucker for live jazz, this doesn’t tingle the same as real sound and I bet this is better on vinyl. But I love the crunchy sounds they create in the middle songs

Fuck yeah finally some jazz. This album was 🔥🔥🔥 loved it

Absolute banger! Household regular around here. Jazz is the superior genre.

Solid 3 for me. I don’t love jazz, but I think the only reason I didn’t like this was the saxophone parts were obnoxious. Guess that’s jazz tho! Trumpet parts were great and as that is miles Davis, I’ll give him credit. If he was the saxophonist, it’d be a 1 for Ruining good music.

I imagine this album will be polarizing between casual listeners and those more into music theory. But this album is groundbreaking. Full stop. The birth of modal jazz. By transitioning from playing within chords to playing within modes, the players were suddenly much more free to explore atmosphere and feeling. And who were those players? Cannonball Adderley on alto and John Fucking Coltrane on tenor. Flamenco Sketches is so perfect and Coltrane’s solos on the album are some of the most beautiful put to record. The freedom of modal jazz quickly worked itself into R&B, soul, and rock, setting up the musical revolutions of the 60s. But it started here first.

Ugh. I really wanted to like this but I guess I’m just not that cultured.

Fantastic jazz album

Not sure I am the biggest Jazz fan in the world but that was quite good for Jazz.

cool as hell. never listened to it. loved it.

A classic with some of the greatest jazz musicians ever. Hard to believe it is only five tracks.

#5 Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (1959) Modal Jazz, Cool Jazz An incredibly rewarding listen, it gets better with every listen. So simple yet so complex at the same time Favourite Tracks: Freddie Freeloader, So What, Flamenco Sketches, Blue In Green Least Favourite Track: All Blues

Not for me, but at least it doesn’t hurt my ears👍

Some parts are really good, like the main motif of So What and All Blues, but I found myself losing interest during some solos.

6/10 This is so outside my experience. I've never just sat down and listened to Miles Davis before. My first impression is that this is hard to listen to and do other things, which isn't bad. I don't ordinarily engage with music like that is all. That being said, it isn't anything I'd seek out on my own, and I don't feel compelled to listen again. 2/26/2024

If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis Actually though it’s a wonderful piece of music, although I’d definitely never choose to listen to it. Beautiful artistry with some all time legendary musicians. Giving 4 stars due to personal taste however

Heilt coolio, men revolusjonere ikkje livet mitt

This album immediately has me bobbing my head and swaying a little. Fun!

Kind of Blue was like a warm fuzzy blanket - soothing and relaxing. Timeless jazz - hard to believe this album is from 1959. Love Miles Davis and Kind of Blue did not disappoint.

I don't know enough about jazz music to give a thoughtful review but listening to the album this morning was a real pleasure.

Perfect music while reading a book. Currently looking up flights to New Orleans :)

Enjoyed it

Absolutely phenomenal. This is something you must hear before you die, it is utterly delightful.

Super solid jazz album. Short and sweet with some very nice ambient tracks. Good for casual background listening while working on school work. Very nice

Great jazz album, great for showcasing your system’s capabilities and / or new equipment. Only think I don’t like is that it’s too short.

Used to think of myself as an "anti-jazz guy", but I think I'm more of an "anti-jazz guy-guy" upon reflection. This is rain wetting the sill of an open window at night, a good book , a bottle and a pack of cigarettes-music. Cool as cool gets. Like!

Absolutely incredible vibes for checking your email first thing in the morning... I feel cured.

Legendary status for a reason

Absolutely lovely. So relaxing. The best jazz saxophonist ever. Fabulous 👌

It's fine incidental music or in an actual jazz club but to just randomly listen to, not really my music. Definitely cool in the right setting.

Classic

I don’t normally listen to jazz but I have to admit I was a little taken by this album, I really enjoyed listening to it.

Another really good album to study to. Found it a little bit repetitive

One of my favourites. Timeless. A classic. Everyone musician on point. Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Bill Evans on the same album is having 3 jazz gods on the same album. Bill Evans is my favourite jazz pianist and he does not disappoint. His is of almost blocky chords is just so incredible. Obviously Miles Davis's playing just out of the world. This album makes me feel like I'm floating in the best way possible. The improvisation of this album is stellar and is spontaneous in an artistic and calculated way. I cannot say anough about this album. Everything is exactly what is needs to be while being adventurous and interested.

This song got me feeling like I’m wearing a fedora walking down the smoggy alleyways of a city at night in the 50s it feels very Noir. However saying that I think this is more background music then something I’d actively choose to listen to again and again. I can appreciate the talent and effort Miles David put into this album however. I think it’s safe to give this album a 8/10. I liked all the songs on it only downside is that sometimes they can feel a bit dragged out

Era bonito, relajante.

Wild, man!

This album is already one of my all time favorite albums and captures several masters of the genre coming together while at the top of their game. Miles tied them all together but in my opinion and gave framework for each track, but the real glue in my opinion was pianist Bill Evans. The classically-trained-turned-swinging-jazzman plays an almost maternal role, weaving around these seasoned musicians with his own gravitational pull, meeting their needs either with notes chosen, silence, or rhythmic comping. The best part of this album is that you can be the biggest jazz nerd in the world and find endless layers to this album, or you can put it on quietly and eat dinner and it slaps either way. From the first bassline of this album -- one of my favorite basslines ever-- to the sublime bliss of "Flamenco Sketches", this album is perfect.

I had just relistened to this a month ago. Always soothing to my soul.

It seems I am destined to try and 'get' this album every 5 years or so. No luck this time. It still just floats over me without soaking in.

Beautiful! Mighty sleepy stuff. Gotta remember this for long flights.

Great jazz album

Outstanding

Perfect album 10/10

Absolutely perfect. That's it.

If you're a casual fan and only own one jazz album, Kind of Blue is probably it. I can't expound on how great this album is. Genre defining.

Really beautiful album. I didn't care at all for it my previous 2 listens, but something clicked here and I finally got the hype. Wonderfully played all the way through

Clasico discazo

Jazz

If I wanted to host a classy dinner party I’d throw this album on

I´m really not into jazz. Even if the album had influenced many musicians and might be instrumental brilliant, for me it´s just background music in a bar. Sorry for that.

Miles Davis....again? This is the 3rd Miles Davis album I have reviewed. I actually listened to this one quite extensively in my "History of American Jazz" course that I took back in college. A good listen.

Good stuff.

Kinda makes you wanna smoke a cigarette or somethin

One of the most iconic jazz albums. Love “So What”. Not the kind of music I want a constant diet of, as it requires a ton of effort above shoulders and on a Friday I am ready for some music that works from waist down. Every musician needs to take their vitamins once in awhile.

Solid jazz album. Easy listening.

A beautiful album for a Friday morning

The classic late 50s jazz you love to hear, folks!

Love him sm always such a vibe

It's hard for me to give Miles Davis a 5, but it's also so hard to give him anything lower than a 4. This is just great jazz. It's unique in every sense of the word and truly makes you feel. Loved Flamenco Sketches

I don’t think I appreciate jazz as much as I should. I will definitely listen to this more later. Excellent performances from all involved. Favorite song is Freddie Freeloader

As a jazz lover - amazing

I'm not sure if I'm willing to say it is the best jazz album ever, but the line up says plenty. Its' focus on modal music can be tough to work through at times, but there is much to be appreciated and learned just 46 minutes. To this day a masterclass

I know Miles Davis is one of the greatest etc etc yada yada but this stuff just boooooores me so.... Shoot me I guess. Grudging 2 stars

Impecable. Duro y triste el cabron. Muy potente

I can only claim to have a rudimentary appreciation for Jazz in that I played trumpet in high school jazz band and I have this record on vinyl in my collection. My insight would be diminished in comparison to those with thousands of such records on their shelves, all immaculately dusted and logically arranged. In any case, I'm also pretty jazzed about Dave Brubeck, who was a contemporary with Miles Davis in time and in style. Please bear with me that George Michael Older lovingly channels the spirit here. I couldn't distinguish whether this record is so highly regarded since it is so broadly accessible and undeniably tasteful, whether there was some real transformative innovation, or whether it was a sort of supergroup for the era. I do enjoy it for being low-key, engaging and cool. I can say I didn't groove too well anymore once jazz got more 'jazzy' as in 'cacophonous racket' but to be fair that's how you could describe some of my other favorite genres.

CANONICAL. The Way It Is Done. At the mountaintop of formative albums for me. I love every second of it, and it is ever fresh.

Awesome! This is JAZZ with a smoke filled room, great cocktail, and a gorgeous lady in a silk dress.

pretty good

Miles has always been one of my favorites. Funny this was the 1st album to pop up for me. Nothing more to be said that hasn’t already been written.

Honestly kind of difficult to listen to. Everyone who says they love this is lying to be cool

Smoooth

Great jazz album. Wouldn't have minded listening longer. 3.5/5

My first listen of 1001 and what a terrific start. Perhaps the best jazz album of all time. What a cast! Miles, Trane, Cannonball, Chambers, Cobb, Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly. Classic compositions like "So What" and "All Blues". Miles at his melodic best!

Jazz from 1959. One of my more favourite jazz albums I think, nice and chilled. 4.

Music and quality of the UHQR Vinyl from AP is incredible. For me one of the greatest standards ever.

pleasant enough

Jeg var ikke helt oppe og støde. Det er ikke dårligt, det er bare svært at sætte pris på noget som jeg ikke forstår. Det er på samme tid heller ikke muligt at hade det. Bare lidt undervældene.

Perfekt jazz til en langsom søndag morgen tilbragt med en god kop kaffe

It is one of the best jazz albums I've heard, it was so calming

muy relajante y vivido

Just don't get it... No discernable rhythm that I can hear.... Really struggling to understand it... What's the big deal????

I love Miles Davis!! 5 Stars!

Very enjoyable. Knew it before as 1 of the few jazz albums I own. Modal = mo melody

Simply great!

Could listen for hours, but constantly feel like I'm missing something.

All time best

What can you say? The epitome of jazz.

Pretty legendary album, and it's one of the first albums I started listening to when I wanted to explore some Jazz albums. For being Jazz, it has quite memorable tunes and melodies, and feels more coherent and less "jammy" than many Jazz albums, which I appreciate. I haven't found any Jazz album so far that I appreciate more than this. This album always makes me want to some dim-lit cozy bar late in the evening and see some calm jazz.

Ask people to name one jazz album and I'm pretty sure you get "Kind Of Blue" most of the time. And for good reason. It's a great album with many nice movements. The mixing is great and there are countless solos that are really good. I personally feel it leans a bit too close to milk toast music where it's just a bit too smooth for me. It is an album nobody can disagree with which just makes it a little bit boring in my mind. I prefer more bop and energy in my jazz. Still a solid 4.

What in the world could I say about this that hasn’t already been said?

Not only my favourite jazz album, but one of my overall favourite albums of all time. I just love how an album can be so assessable and sophisticated at the same time. Brilliant soothing back ground music, but sit down and critically listen and you are in for a treat of musical layers of beauty and emotion. An absolute masterpiece in every sense of the word. 5 stars

i don't appreciate jazz the way i should but even i found this enjoyable as background music.

i don't normally rate jazz 5 but this one was super enjoyable for me. when im not focusing on its quite calming/relaxing, and when i focused in it suddenly became really interesting and technical. definitely will relisten for the latter reason.

A lot of talent on display, just a little slow for me. I'm way more into swingier jazz. 3.5/5

One of my favorite albums of all time!

Very good album. Easy to listen to and switch off.

Boring Origin of elevator music Sax overshadowed trumpet

Gran álbum me encanta

I own this album and listen to it often

Always enjoyed Miles Davis.

Stellar....just absolutely stellar

It's just fucking cool.

Timeless. A best seller for a reason. And no lyrics for a change.

Aunque no soy muy fan del jazz hay dicos, como este, que trascienden los estilos y se vuelven imprescindibles para cualquier amante de la música sin etiquetas. Un disco suave, sosegado, con un ritmo constante sobre el que la música fluye con secillez. Se cuenta que Davis creó los acordes antes de la grabación y que luego la banda improvisó creando una obra maravillosa.

I think kind of blue is a bad album to start with in jazz but that doesnt mean its a bad album

Such a classic easy listen - already heard this album but listened again. So smooth and relaxed, it just makes things feel so much more relaxed. None of the instrumentation feels forced, and everyone is content to sit back when its not their turn and mournful flourish when it is.

Tidenes beste?

Jazzy doo baps

Good music, just a very short album. I was really confused when Autoplay started playing other artists!

Perfect for background listening while doing something such as cooking.

Everything about this album is just great. So many emotions conveyed through the trumpet. I've listened to this in the past and it's just as good as the first listen

# 148 : Kind of sound you'd find in one of those hidden bars down the end of the alley way. Good Bourbon, Good cigar, Good Jazz music. Still, I could listen to it, but Jazz just isn't for me, Thanks. Fav Track : Freddie Freeloader

Amazing music!

Classic

The first jazz album i listened to in its entirety.

What can I say? The greatest jazz album ever made.

Classic, smooth

I’ve just never been that into this album

Not a fan of jazz usually, but I enjoyed listening to this. My cat too.

awesome!

6/10 not because its bad just not my listening preference

Great starting point for experiencing jazz. Highlight: “Blue in Green”

Good Listened to it all day. Like it from before

Absolute masterclass, flawless albums from beginning to the end 5*

ya like jazz?

Amazing album. Not much else to say.

If you couldn’t tell by now, I’m such a sucker for jazz music, it’s not even funny. I still have yet to find a jazz album I can say I genuinely didn’t enjoy. And I knew that I would eventually have to listen to this. If this list of 1001 albums is based on both popularity and how impactful and influential a piece of music is, there might not be an album more important than this one. I’m willing to make the claim that this is the most well known, recognizable, and important jazz record ever made. And it’s easily one of the greatest as well. I’m not the only one who believes this either. The impact this has had, on not only jazz, but the medium of music in general, is immeasurable. And it has rightfully earned this reputation. If this was an object you could feel, it would be warm and soft to the touch, like velvet. This is just about as traditional as jazz music can get, but that isn’t bad at all. This is by no means experimental, avant-garde, or hard to listen to. Anyone who even mildly likes jazz music will be able to appreciate this. And none of this would be possible if it weren’t for the indestructible foundation this was built upon. If you look at the line up of who worked on this record, it’s damn near flawless. What they were working with here was a combination of arguably the greatest jazz composer, bandleader, and trumpeter of all time, one of the greatest saxophonists of all time, one of the greatest jazz drummers of all time, and one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time. It may sound like I’m over embellishing, but I’m truly not. This was built for success. There was no way it could fail. This is the jazz equivalent of the 1995-96 Bulls season. If you like jazz, especially relaxing and simple jazz, and you have somehow not heard this already, please give this a listen. Rating: 10/10

Very good

I absolutely loved this jazz album. I have always heard Miles Davis name but never listened to his music. Wow, I absolutely loved this. I didn't pay attention to the different songs, but I loved the whole 45 minutes. I will definitely be listening to more.

This is the kind of music I think of when I hear the word "jazz". I don't know a damn thing about jazz but I like this record. I'm giving it a 5 because I think that's what music nerds are supposed to do and I'm a music nerd.

I mean it's miles davis, it's classic stuff

I don't really like jazz that much and I just don't get the hype of Davis. A 2 I guess. It has its moments but I was mostly snoozing while listening (not literally)

The epitome of cool

Lovely Jazz & lovely listen.

I've never purposely listened Miles Davis. This was throughly enjoyable.

This is the first one on the list that I know very well. I think I first bought it in high school. I used to listen to it quite a bit but probably haven't sat with it in over 10 years. It's still nice to listen to it again, especially considering how long it's been and how different it is from all of punk rock I listen to these days (again). When I was a junior in college, I took a girl out on a date and played this in the car to impress her. Looking back, it wasn't just pretentious it was misguided :D I was a band nerd in high school, and even played in the jazz band. I never liked modern jazz, especially the stuff they played in the dentist's office, but Miles Davis, and this album in particular, was really easy for me to hang my hat on. You don't need to think too much to get it. You can feel it all. Had a really pleasant listen via my Airpods. I love hearing the separation of the players in the mix. You feel like your sitting at the feet of the bass player taking it all in.

I wish I cold say I listened to this and understood what was so influential about it. Alas, I am not that well-versed in jazz. But I did like it, and judging by the Wikipedia article, it's one of the most worthy albums of being on this list.

Perfect starting gate listening jazz music

nice background music

What an absolute classic!

Chida musica instrumental.

Great Album

Superb.

This sort of jazz is not my thing but I can appreciate it for what it is. It's not the sort of thing I'd choose to actively listen to but I wouldn't mind having it on in the background now and then.

Kann man nebenbei laufen lassen, aber nicht wahnsinnig aufregend

Decent but boring

Miles Davis!! The best of the best in Jazz! Great birthday present. Amazing! I could listen all day.

Awesome!

Pure magic

Not super into Jazz yet. But this sounds like something that could get me into it.

Already listened

One of my favourites

Relaxing

Die späteren Stücke von Miles Davis finde ich schöner

One of my most formative. Top.

Not a jazz fan, but Miles Davis's skills on the trumpet are amazing. s

i actually really like this :) it was all so calming

Listened to it twice. Love every song.

Not my kind of music

Accessible and easy to listen to, with great players. It’s easy to see why this is a classic

Not my tempo 3.5/5

I’ve heard this 100 times. It may be the greatest of all time

Nice. Jazzy. 3/5

Jazz is just not really for me. I can appreciate the musicianship and the influence this album has had, but as a listening experience it does very little for me. It feels slow and meandering, and I struggle to stay engaged. I know this is considered one of the greatest albums ever recorded, but it simply does not connect with me. There is no doubt the playing is technically superb, and you can hear the skill and restraint in every note. It is just not a sound or style that moves me in the way rock or soul does. Favourite song: I genuinely could not pick one that stood out. Least favourite: The overall experience felt dull to me. Album artwork: A fairly standard jazz cover, understated and serious, much like the music itself

Groovy, smooth jazz. This album is what I picture jazz to be. I also picture it being the soundtrack to every late 70’s early 80’s movie as well. I’m sure this is much more intricate but it just has that feel. It’s a rebound album but I don’t really find it something that I would choose to listen to. 3/5

Can’t believe this project is covertly turning me into a blues n jazz gal.

Detta är ju en bombastisk klassiker inom jazz och musik i allmänhet. Fråga mig inte varför, för jag kan inget om jazz. Det enda jag vet är att det låter fett bra. Inga krusiduller, jazz som låter enkelt, soft, som man vill ha i bakgrunden på en restaurang. Allt flyter ihop litegrann, men under 'Blue in Green' känner jag ändå ett lugn som jag alltid vill bära med mig. Bästa låt: Blue in Green

THE jazz album.

I'm gonna give it 5 out of 5. So What? Call me a Freeloader, but I truly believe some classic albums click with you instantly and you understand the reason they're revered. I would stand by this album until I was Blue in then Green in the face. All Blues even! I would Sketch up an argument for it's place in the pantheon of jazz classics any day.

Abso-fucking-lutely

Had it too loud at first. Turned it down and was able to chill and get my computer work done while enjoying the album.

at least not long, but meh really

Nice. Not my style really

10/10 best jazz album ever

Amazing

done 4/10

I enjoyed this, but it always faded into the background and never actively grabbed me.

One of my favorites. I knew this album really well but gave it a couple more listens and it still holds up, as good as ever. It’s one of the few jazz albums I really got to know and love.

A good reminder that I don't dislike jazz broadly, and that I just struggle with stuff that's a little more free-flow and improvisational. This gets "background music-y" at time, but good background music; and enjoyable.

Might be a situation where, if I was a musician, I might appreciate this more. I could totally envision listening again (great, chill music for driving, sewing, whatever) but might not explicitly go out of my way to pull this up.

Although Ionly listened to a of couple songs, the ambience created by 'Blue In Green' and 'So What' was not one I expected to overly enjoy. Now do I see myself throwing this kind of music on regularly, no but for dinner parties or a relaxing evening, it's perfect.

Headphones on. This is an album that gives you all the right feels, in the eight places, right from the very start.

Where "A Love Supreme" sounded like a bunch of guys playing on top of each other (sounds hot, actually...), this is a bunch of guys playing with each other (even hotter)

Well worth it's iconic status as arguably the most important jazz album of all time.

Jedna z najlepszych płyt MD i jazzu i muzyki.

Cool before cool was cool.

More of a Sketches of Spain guy

4/5 Best Track: (sorry, they all sound the same)

Amazing musicianship and beautiful songs. Extremely well recorded aswell.
