Kind Of Blue

A go to album, great for anytime. Except for some bad production artifacts, A near perfect record.

Just doesn't do that much for me.

maybe i'm not in a jazz mood rn, but also i feel like i preferred in a silent way to this album, it's not bad it just didn't super grab me, 3/5

its jazz, i like jazz. mjhhhh allblues

One take!

1. zo uuhat - 1 2. freddie freeloader - 2 3. blue in green - 3 4. All blues - 1 5. Flamenco sketches. - 2

I’m not smart enough to fully appreciate this type of jazz, but I do appreciate it. It’s definitely winter music. Not suitable for summer unless you’re a PI. 4.0

Classic. Iconic. Essential. 5.0

I'm too dumb to get it but I'm sure it's great

An absolute banger from start to finish. I could listen to this record in any mood. I feel like if aliens landed on earth you could show them this album and they'd immediately get it and start boppin'. Was hoping to explore some Miles that I wasn't already familiar with to begin this journey, but I guess we'll start with his strongest (arguably?) first and foremost. Unequivocally a classic.

Great when you are in the mood for Miles Davis. There is nothing that quite fits that spot like he does.

Not a jazz guy, but this album is a masterpiece.

4 1/2 Stars! Fav.: All of it!

Miles Davis fills my whole heart with the blues, I love the soft progression with the delicate usage of the usually booming brass. I could very easily smoke a joint to this while lounging or making dinner. the delicate piano takes me to my next destination like a businessman in the big city on this way to work.

Beautiful jazzy album most of the time. Sometimes lacked melody (especially in Freddie Freeloader) which I didn’t enjoy much.

This is the album everyone recommends when someone is trying to get into jazz. That's why if you go to any used CD store, there will be several copies of Kind of Blue. This is the quintessential jazz album. I grew up listening to jazz second hand (my dad is a massive jazz fan), so my ears are somewhat conditioned to this. I grew up in a household where my father lionized Bill Evans as the pinnacle of musical genius. That being said, I never went out of my way to listen to jazz as an adult. It'll take several listens before I really "get" this album. I did enjoy this, but it's something I'll have to return to. One does not simply grok modal jazz in 45 minutes. I appreciate the complexity, skill, and the ambient peaceful vibes of this album.

DAMNNNN Been meaning to get to this one for a while, it was a really nice refresher after that chocolate starfish bullshit. This is one of the most essential jazz albums of all time in most peoples eyes, and it’s clear why. Thoughts: creaming myself Favorite songs: All of them (Blue in Green)

Feels like an album that should be experienced either live or in a very specific mood

Stellar.

I mean - does it get better than this?

Music was carried. Kind of like your own a long train track, the tempo stays steady but the view is always a little different sometimes vastly different. However jazz just really isn’t for me despite this being a classic. Could not pay attention to notice that a song had changed. Could not find melodies either.

I like the saxophone and trumpet. It’s chill jazz. I like how there’s one instrument leading the way. It’s more of an occasional listen for me. I’m hoping for a more rich complex sound. I love vinyl

Selkeästi helpommasta päästä Milesin levyjä. Tämä ei ole vielä liiaksi soolotiluttelua, vaan ihan leppoisaa kuunneltavaa. Pari turhankin hidasta biisiä, muuten olisi täysi 5.

Absolute classic

Smooth jazz.

not saying anything new: pretty great!

I can't stand jazz but I love this

I can see why this is one of the foundational jazz albums, as someone wanting to get into jazz but not knowing where to start this was great! A really easy listen and could really pick out each individual instrument and hone in on the playing

The horn is just a little too abrasive and choppy for my taste. Okay in small doses but not over a whole album.

Great musician

Good but not really my thing

Fantastic record. I feel like this is one of the first, probably the first, record you would play for someone who has never heard jazz before. This is a record you can sit and listen to and pick apart or you can throw it on in the background when you're doing other things. Whether or not you like jazz, this is something that anyone who just appreciates music will be into.

Flawless

This solidifies it for me, one of the best jazz albums of all time and all i wanted to do was skip every song. Cant do it, just dont like jazz

Beautiful album! Truly a genius musician, the way he led other musicians to envision the sounds he was hearing, amazing. Top notch players and beautiful songs! 9 out of 10

the peak of jazz

This really is as good as its reputation. Shall definitely be revisiting

Just cannot get into jazz. It's just people dicking around on instruments.

A classic for sure, but modern day? Meh.

Exceptional

amazing jazz

One of the greatest recordings of all time.

It's Miles Davis. Not much more can be said. It's a milestone album, as canonical as it can get.

This was a wonderful album to have as background music. The title fits it perfectly! I could see this playing in a soundtrack to a movie with lots of rain and break up.

Very satisfying album - it slowly built up, and I could really feel the story being told. The last song seemed to be a place where things worked out. I loved the album's creativity

Classic

Everytime I listen to this album, I get more out of it. The first time I thought it was ok, but I didn't get the hype. Now after like a billion listens throughout many years I get the hype. This album has so much atmosphere and the solos are so memorable. Everytime the mode changes in the pieces, I can feel a very distinct vibe shift and it feels like I'm seeing new colors. This album sounds very blue and green to me. Like a deep blue. Like the so black its blue kind. Like you're walking down the street in the dead of night kind of so black its blue. Call me a yapper idc. This album is great. 9.8/10

Blues be bluesing Favorite song: so what

VERY MELLOW AND ENJOYABLE, NOT MUCT TO SAY BUT A SOLID ALBUM TO SAY THE LEAST

This doesn't register as music to me. I was playing it, loud, on my commute this morning. About 10 minutes into my drive I realised I was bopping along to a song and singing to myself. It was a completely different song by a different artist from a different era. This album is so bereft of anything that I consider music that my brain tried to fill the space where music should be. I value lyrics, melody, and texture. This music is so incredibly bland it's the kind of music you put on in the background when you don't want anyone to notice there's music playing.

I didn't realize I enjoyed jazz so much when I started this, but here is another awesome album I could listen to on repeat.

Meh

Although I'm not a fan of jazz I listened all the way through a couple times and found this album enjoyable. It's very chill

Didn’t ever got going, which I understand is the point but I needed a kick somewhere.

This is the only jazz album I've ever really got into. Love it

This is my first blues Album and it is so good. It's what I'd expect from a blue album yet it was so damn beautiful. Felt like this is what I want to listen when I'm rewinding.

very good, smooth, flows very well. really easy to listen to.

Very trumpety

This is a well storied album. Nothing more that can be said than completely revolutionary

1, 4, 5

Simply mellifluous! I think I love jazz.

Miles's Magnum Opus. What can I possibly say that hasn't already been said by people with far more jazz expertise than I? I'm just a plucky tone deaf lover of music who has no musical competency whatsoever. All I can tell you is that as a listener it feels right. There's a correctness in what I assume my ears are hearing. His renowned improvisational spirit fusing so wholly with his virtuoso proficiency; a true thing of beauty in its most pure form. I don't know jazz, but I know greatness when I hear it.

Listened before, is a jazz album. It’s nice in the background

What can I say, it’s miles David, if it was any cooler it would be frozen

Masterpiece

A classic. So many have imitated his style over the years that it doesn't sound as ground breaking as when he recorded it.

I listen to some jazz and know Miles Davis is a classic but not actually familiar. So What is making me feel stressed. I enjoyed Freddie Freeloader way more. This is the vibe I like. Chill , background, jazz. Also-fun name. It did get back into crazy sax for a bit though. But that's jazz. Blue in Green opens and closes with piano which is fun. I also believe the opening is a muted trumpet , which is fun. Overall good background music. Not my favorite jazz but very talented musician. I enjoyed the album but listening straight did lose me after a while

going into this, I do not like jazz. it sounds like the individual members of the band do not like each other and did not agree on what to play before they started recording. in So What the trumpet is high skill for sure, it's cool sounding, but it doesn't do much for me. I am about halfway through Freddie freeloader and I am getting a little sick of this! doing homework while listening and idk if it's making it easier or harder. blue in green isn't that bad actually! it is a lot more mellow and relaxing. reminds me of a more subdued scene from monsters Inc. on all blues now, don't love this one very much. sounds very similar to the first 2 songs. flamenco sketches I do not care for.

This music is fine to listen but none of it sticks at all. I started a third listen and don't remember any of these tunes. I never noticed that the album ended and started playing other stuff. These dudes are obviously great at playing their instruments but I just don't have any jazz knowledge.

I just don't get jazz. I can listen to a couple of minutes and then I just want to listen to something else.

I don’t like jazz, but Miles is the coolest

A little repetitive

I was a trumpet player so it's easy to get into this

Album so good i have it on vinyl! Truly a classic, love listening to this track 5/5

the lineup? all-stars. the music? impeccable. miles davis was always an icon and this album definitely helped to build that reputation. i could talk about jazz all day tho so i'll leave it at that

Hells ye

Would appreciate more if I knew a thing about jazz, but it did improve my mood.

Loved it.

A masterpiece !

Love this album. Could listen to it anytime. Possibly the best jazz album from arguably the best jazz musician. Some people can’t appreciate jazz and that’s a damn shame because they miss out on classics like this. This album is so entirely what it set out to be. The soul of a lonely person pours out of the speakers beautifully every time. Hope that made sense. 5/5

Fuck jazz

I really like the idea behind the album, not writing anything, and just asking the band to improvise base on a given set of scales

2,5

Decent listening experience. I get why it's an influential album but I'm not a jazz enthusiast as much, i.e. I won't ever select any of these tracks to listen to of my own perogative. Favourite song was Freddie Freeloader. 3/5

8.5/10

Landmark jazz album that as cool as fuck as they say.

Iconic!

No hay mucho para decir la verdad, no creo que la obra este hecha ni para mi ni para gente de mi generacion, juzgarlo sin entender lo que significa el jazz y el trasfondo que lleva siento que es desprestigiarlo un poco. musicalmente es solido, tiene el tipico caos ordenado que da este tipo de musica, es incluso entretenido de escuchar en segundo plano, ta bien. participa John Coltrane, tipazo [notas post investigacion]: el disco no sigue ninguna estructura de acordes, si no que se basa en formas modales, y este album le dio paso a un nuevo tipo de jazz, el JAZZ MODAL. se grabo en 2 sesiones, y esta improvisado mas del 90%

3.5 No estoy diciendo que sea un mal disco ni mediocre ni nada parecido, pero... no lo entendí. Tengo un problema con el jazz clásico y la verdad no entiendo el disco con las pocas escuchas que tuve Pero si puedo decir que tiene melodias y solos muy interesantes ademas de un clima espectacular de principio a fin Lo voy a seguir escuchando y eso seguramente cambie mi puntaje pero hoy es ese

Cool

Traumatic

I don’t typically listen to jazz, but I enjoyed this. I find his playing to be very expressive and thoughtful.

most beautiful music ever, every note from every solo seems so tasteful, i wanna play jazz and respect it and dive in it more than ever, to express myself in that way

Would make for great music to accompany a party but for just me at the gym I couldn’t get into it

war in ordnung aber nicht zu 100% mein musikgeschmack

not a fan of jazz, and normally very specific on what i listen to, but this was good!

Cool background lobby music.

Super enjoyable.

It was nice listening but i prefer music with lyrics

The sound is almost cliche as it’s been emulated for generations since. The archetype of jazz

I don't listen to a lot of jazz, but when I feel like it this is my favorite album. The interplay between the different instruments is always interesting and the music puts me in a very mellow mood.

Fill in soon. 5/10

With Bitches Brew and In A Silent Way I understood the praise - I could recognise some pretty wild experimentation and some pretty alluring sounds. With this, I don’t - it just sounds like jazz. Maybe it was so influential that all subsequent jazz music copied it, and that’s why I can’t tell the difference? The music also had no emotional impact, except to occasionally depress me (and not in the good way that music sometimes does). Flashbacks to my 14 year old self toiling through a piece that sounded a lot like Freddie Freeloader during a saxophone lesson might be influencing me here…

Only made a few tracks through but it’s great. Will go back and listen to the rest.

Yummy

First jazz album I've ever had this album reminds of the smell of my childhood house

Really, really good jazz. Close to a 5, delivers everything you really want except for maybe just a little more variety, it's beautifully laid back and masterfully performed though.

Still not a jazz guy, but this got me close. It's really well executed, everything sits together nicely, feels very smooth but still has something to it. Delightfully mellow, not sure I'll hear a jazz album that I like more than this. 4/5.

Total classic. One of my favorite albums regardless of genre.

THE album that got me into jazz!

Good background music

Trumpet

Most jazz doesn't have much staying power and after a while it starts to get a little dull. However, It's evident why this is considered one of the best jazz albums of all time because we could listen to this all day and not get tired. Feels like a lazy Sunday morning, listening to this. Will absolutely be listening to this some more.

Not a big jazz/blues person but Miles has something.

Peak jazz

NICE pretty good didn't feel stale and forgot about the time altogether.

Ahh, how chill and fun. I can appreciate this. Not something I'd put on on my own initiative, I'm not a jazz person, so not top marks for me, but it's very good :)

Music you hear in a hotel bar drinking overpriced drinks

Jazz. I like jazz. But it's more of a background jazz for me. I guess I prefer more lively jazz music.

The music is fine, but this style of jazz is not really all that engaging to me. I've always wondered why, and I think I finally realized it's because of the group dynamic (or lack thereof). This album is primarily a collection of very talented soloists performing in immediate succession under the pretense of a collection of songs. Each songs starts as an ensemble piece, that gives way around the 1m mark to a medley of spotlight swapping solo showcases. I'm amazed at the patience of the rhythm section, as they play along while everyone else gets to do whatever they want.

Crystalline perfection - the definitive jazz album. Defines what it means to flawlessly embody an ideal.

Again jazz. I prefer this one than John Coltrane, but still not my...jazz

not in a great mood wasnt feeling jazz

Flamenco sketches reminded me of a Sara barielles song I like “Gravity” enjoyed the album a ton!

Come ON. So good .

Great album. All Blues was my favorite 5

Nice

I wish I was the kind of person who "gets" jazz. But I'm not. I'm sure its objectively a great album and I'm glad I've now listened to it. Probably won't again though.

i don't really care that much for jazz it seems, it's like cool good stuff but i don't enjoy listening to it myself, i did enjoy some of his other work like in a silent way so maybe it's just this kind of jazz? guess i need to listen to more sometime

So glad I listened. Perfect for lazy day and a glass of wine 5/5

Whoa, this is Jazz!

me sentindo num filme noir

Bien perre me gusto mucho yyyyy es mi estilo de musica gracias xd.

Hmm... Respectable music I suppose but jazz just isn't my thing.

It is great; however, there are definitely jazz albums I prefer to this one. Kind of Blue has that languid relaxed mood the whole time, and it doesn't excite or interest me the way several other jazz albums do. A Love Supreme, Time Out, Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, are all more interesting and dynamic albums to me. I also think I prefer Miles' albums Birth of the Cool and In A Silent Way (and maybe even Bitches Brew, but I haven't heard that one in a while). Nonetheless I don't think I can give less than a 4

great background music, but not really something I would sit and listen too. not bad, just not my thing

Chill, very jazzy obv. Subdued trumpet. Expensive hotel bar type beat. Sax coming in on Freddie was nice. Fav was prob Freddie, maybe blue in green.

Great jazz, classic

Accesible jazz classic.

Not my type of music. Still, pleasant enough and miles Davis is a very talented musician. It just comes down to preference. (60%).

Perfect album to focus while working.

Fantastic. This is the first cool jazz album that I have really 'got'. Loved it.

Jazz is not my favorite, but great vibes. Songs blend together although feels repetitive to my uncultured ears.

Love this album. I have owned it for years.

This was great, I found myself toe tapping along despite jazz not being my thing. Thoroughly enjoyable. Need to listen again in different settings\moods.

There's much to be said about this album. But its best to leave it up to listening.

Kind of sleepy, nothing special. Sounds like music playing in a old coffee shop.

Yes 5 stars

I'm a filthy millennial, so I'm clearly not educated enough to understand or conceptualise this properly. Kids these days just don't understand what the jazz is all about. So now that my ignorant and stupid position is established... this is fine. You know, in a kind of reasonably nice, background, boring way. There's some nice trumpet in there. My thoughts on this may be more easily summarised with a slow head-nod and a lip sticking out, in a kind of 'not bad, but ultimately I don't really care' face. 2.5 rounded up.

Excellent noodling, house chores music

Great

This worked for a Sunday, and made the baby nod off. Jazz like this does all blur together though. Pleasant with talent shining, but not very memorable and very homogenous. Would not return to it.

Mama mia that jazz is smooth

Makes me wanna mull over a glass of whiskey in a black&white downtown diner while figuring out cold case crimes. Flames

Jazz Chill

Not a typical listener of Jazz. This was actually very good. It caught my attention when I had it on for background music.

Fucking amazing

Good jazz album. Songs noodle along a little long for me

Already a Davis fan. I know I've listened to this before. But not to the point where I know all the songs inside out. After listening of course it's all wonderful. Perfect for quiet Sundays or a chill work day.

One of my favorite Jazz albums. Have already listened to it over 100 times.

This album puts the smooth in smooth jazz, my goodness this was easy listening

Vamos mejorando, imprescindible. Por fin un buen LP.

Hier heb ik nou echt zin in. Ik ben best een jazz liefhebber en heb ook wat jazz vinyl liggen. Aan dit album ben ik dus nooit toegekomen wat een schande zou moeten zijn, des te meer reden om hier naar uit te kijken dus! So What is echt een heerlijke opener. Krijg hier echt kippenvel van, zo nice als alle instrumenten klinken en hoe mooi dit album ook opent. Sowieso een album met Miles Davis én John Coltrane?? Sign me the fuck up. Dit is echt een wegdroom album voor mij zeg. Dit was nou echt hdp. Dit album maakt me zo rustig en past even helemaal bij waar ik nu zin in heb. Ik denk dat het feit dat ik meteen een pure Jazz playlist heb aangemaakt en dit album er bijna helemaal in heb gedaan genoeg zegt... FAVO: So What, Blue in green, Flamenco Sketches

Het heeft even geduurd, maar eindelijk een jazz album uit de lijst! En van wie, Miles Davis himself, met John Coltrane op de plaat, wat wil je nog meer. De plaat begint met het heerlijke standaard jazz-lijntje op de bas, en de koperblazers mogen daar overheen riffen. Dat doen ze met verve, wat een opening. Als het goed begrijp is dat album zeer bijzonder en indrukwekkend in het muziektheoretische aspect, maar ik ben helaas veel te leek om daar chocola van te maken. Al met al wel een zeer fijn album om naar te luisteren. Favorieten: Freddie Freeloader, Flamenco Sketches

Really, this is the only jazz album I like. Just one I grew up hearing over and over. It's masterwork.

Lotta good stuff coming out of that horn... I've listened to this album many times, but has never hit me as something that I should or could listen to whenever I had the opportunity. Today, I just let it play on repeat and probably got through about 2.5 listens before I sat down to write this. The musicians are all stars in their own right. I think I even rated Bill Evans a 5 somewhere on this list. Also, is Giant Steps even on this list... ? What I've come to is that Kind of Blue is a daily driver. It's something that works in a myriad of circumstances and for pretty much all occasions. Making food in the kitchen, working, driving to pickup the kids, even a low-key Sunday afternoon. This is perfect for all of that. I'm not a jazz guy or even a musician, I've taken college level jazz classes and even played the trumpet for a few years, but I have no idea how jazz is built. From what I understand, MD just gave the musicians a range of chords and let them do their thing. All in all, I liked this, but I didn't love it and ponder that maybe the magic of this album dissipated as people shifted their focus to other means of entertainment. Sure, kids are still playing instruments in school, but the kids that get excited about creating music with traditional woodwind instruments are few. Kids are excited about coding and collaborate more about tech than music these days... everything has become consumed by tech and music is just another one of those things. Kind of Blue is a beautiful album with plenty of heart and a hellofalotta soul, and yet regrettably, I don't feel the magic here that so many music critics have found.

Peak jazz. But I think recorded jazz peaks for me at 4.

A master. Playing with other masters.

The best selling jazz album ever and with good reason. Even though I think this album is timeless, it's interesting to me that later in life Miles Davis refused to play anything from Kind of Blue because remaining static stylistically was the wrong option. But then why even make a jazz album? Albums are inherently static. Jazz is inherently improvisational and dynamic. It's a distinction that makes it hard sometimes for people to enjoy recorded jazz. Maybe jazz is always meant to be enjoyed live where the music can follow or lead the vibe of the whole room at a particular time and in a particular place but I do enjoy this album quite a bit. It is soothing and subtle and moody in all the right ways. It makes jazz accessible to everyone.

This would be a 5 in a live setting I’m sure. Through the stereo I find it hard to stay engaged. The players are all excellent. Jazz, I disappoint you. I know. But go away.

Fun jazz tunes, loved how raw the instruments sounded. Would make nice background music!

I feel like I always hear something new when I listen to this one

Just not for me at all I’m sure it’s very accomplished but I don’t get jazz

Good album

Spun the vinyl. So beautiful.

This can only be a 5.

Five tracks. Five absolute classics. Five stars.

Again, surprised me. Out of my comfort zone.

Jazz isn't my usual bag but I do like the odd bits I hear now and then. This was brilliant though and stands out from everything I've heard from the genre before. Loved this and was a pleasure to have on in the background, look forward to a re-listen again at some point.

Excellent record.

Timeless. Nice

Having listened to it before because of the hype, I didn't recall really liking it that much. But I must admit this time around that I actually enjoyed it. I much prefer "smooth jazz" to what I would call "real jazz", but this is up there in the pantheon of jazz albums that must be listened to.

What can I say about “Kind of Blue”? Take some of the greatest Jazz players of their generation, throw them in a room, let magic happen. Not a bad track on the album. A must for anyone getting into jazz. Top Songs: take your pick Rating: 9/10

Phenomenal

Smooth jazz 😩

A bit like eating greens, I can appreciate the qualities but I'm rarely in the mood for a full meal of that. My loss. Really enjoyed taking the time to listen to this whole record.

Having never listened to a full Miles Davis album this didn't disappoint. If you were asked what a Miles Davis then this would be a perfect example.

jazz jazz jazz jazz jazz (: music with no words 🖤🖤🖤 there’s a very specific style of saxophone playing in this that i have mixed feeling about. i was definitely tripping the entire time this played and they sounded way too close a lot.

Background music. Can’t get into it!

Effortlessly brilliant. How is an album made in 1959 still so modern sounding and so relevant? Incredible. Totally timeless 4.9

I guess I don’t really feel the apeal that so many others do, or why this is a must own album. Its vibe is that of a casual dinner party, or perhaps making some drinks and dancing along to the soft Jazz. His Trumpet playing is of course a high magnitude of musicianship and the sax, drum accompaniment are on par with his execution. The whole this is wonderful to listen to, but not my consistent cup of tea. Certainly that once in awhile treat.

5/5. Just an absolutely atmospheric experience.

Jazz, aburrido

I just do not get this.

Kind of sleepy. Heard this one before, but Bitches Brew is far superior.

i downloaded 1,3,5! superb. really enjoyed

Very good

que belleza una lástima que me recuerde a mi viejo 8.5/10

Very good. Liked it a lot. Was nice background music to play League to

So melodic and all the instrumentals were insane. I got lost in thought for a while

good jazz :)

It's jazz. Not bad, but really not my thing. Did not finish

Heard before: yes If you were to ask random people what they think "jazz" is, probably 80% will describe something like this record. Unsurprisingly, it rewards close listening too. Bill Evans is so cool, and the way they stack the harmonies like on All Blues is foundational. Anyway, I'd like to be a contrarian, but how can you not call this a top record of all time? Note: if you want the full blast of awesomeness, stick to the original 5-track record. Non-stop. Top tracks: So What, Freddie Freeloader, All Blues

Perfection. There's a reason why this is the gateway drug for people looking to waste their lives listening to musicians insisting on playing the wrong notes.

The jazz equivalent of just doing one line of coke that late night in town. It might seem innocent at first until you wake up 10 years later going through every record store looking for that one John McLaughlin bootleg where, rumor has it, he unintentionally skips a beat. Jazz. Just do it kids.

9/13/2023 - Miles Davis, Kind of Blue (1959) 1. So What - can already tell I’m going to like it - very nice, smooth jazz 2. Freddie Freeloader 3. Blue in Green 4. All Blues 5. Flamenco Sketches Jesus, his 33rd album. John Coltrane plays sax on it.

Sooooo smooth If I was asked, "Do you like jazz?" I would respond yes, and not be startled or surprised by who or what is asking me. Listening to this just demands my attention, which is hard to do for me with lyric-less music. It's so incredibly modal and dissonant without being "crunchy".

I just can't get into jazz. Stop giving me Miles Davis albums...

It's a pretty cool album with outstanding musicianship, but at the end of the day, it's still jazz.

I find jazz a bit boring, but having a background in playing alto sax in concert band I can really appreciate this.

One of the most gorgeous albums ever made. Just a stunning masterpiece. There aren't enough words to describe this. An astounding achievement.

An impressive album, a triumph of jazz, and surely one of the most incredible albums that had ever been released by anyone up to that point.

Nice - not the kind of thing I'll go back to often but what a serene day I had as a result!

Not the biggest fan of music without vocals plus I am familiar with another Miles Davis album which I prefer to this one.

huomaa poppijatsin heti... heh kiinnostavimmat osuudet ei populaa populaa pistänyt klikkaamaan... poppiosiot klikkaukset sauhuaa....I am not a huge fan of jazz, ja et ole vieläkään...näit niin paljon positiivisia arvosteluja että päätit tykätä tästä heh....meikäpoika, antaa vitosta koska objektiivinen..teikäläinen subjektiivisesti....we are not the same...respektiä niille jotka VIHAA TÄTÄ ALBUMIA all blues

Probably the only jazz album I could name, but not my favourite from this list. Obviously I'm too much of a musical heathen to know why it's supposed to be good, one just enjoyed others more 🤷‍♀️

Clear #1 of the big three jazz albums of all time. Hard to find a stronger 5.

The opening track helped me get over the 'Miles is overrated' thinking. I know it better than I'd have predicted. Amazing musicians.

Some smooth as silk jazzy sax. Music to drive to.

I'm sorry, but I just can't imagine ever wanting to listen to this again. There are pleasant moments, but I just can't get onboard. I tried this album ages ago and my opinion is consistent.

All time classic. Standard. Cerebral and serene but intense. Best Jazz record ever.

Un album de Jazz seminal, sumamente importante para cualquier persona que quiera iniciarse en el género.

Classic!

Great

I just don’t like jazz

Admittedly I don't know much about jazz but it was an extremely satisfying listen. I loved it!

J A Z Z

Nice slow jazz album

It's 3AM on the lower east side of NYC. The smells of the spring rain waft in through the open window of your lower first-floor apartment lit by the reflected light of streetlamps and the flashing neon sign outside of the bar that just closed. The love of your life just left you for your brother. This album is perfection, and not the only example of it that Miles would lay down on vinyl. 5/5

Brilliant, musical genius perfect for putting on in the background as you try to develop your video game. Just not the kind of thing I'd listen to by choice.

What’s with me getting absolute classics every Monday since school started back up? Kind Of Blue is sort of the popular decision for greatest jazz album of all time. What can I say? This is influential, original, technical, enjoyable, all the positive words. Just listen to it if you somehow haven’t by now.

Very chill background music, love it!

Primer album que escucho de jazz. Y la verdad es que me encantó, no sé cómo explicarlo pero simplemente me encanta la onda del album y la improvisación que tiene es increíble, te hace apreciar verdaderamente lo que hicieron en este álbum. Canciones favoritas: el álbum entero. 10/10

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good, especially the recording quality. I think it the issue that I’m having with it is that almost the entire first half of the album is just saxophone soloing. It feels cramped more in comparison to the silent way, for instance. Part of that might be that there is a lot of saxophone, which doesn’t have a ton of dynamic range at least the way they played. When the trumpet does come in, in those earlier songs and with blue in green, it is significantly better in my opinion. So I don’t think I’d buy this, but it is good enough that I would listen again.

One of the albums of all time. This defined Jazz for me.

Great record. I think it’s my favourite Miles Davis record now. Just so smooth and soothing

Excellent. Very Cool indeed

Don’t like jazz

det är jazz

It's jazz. Not my kind of jazz. I love On The Corner so have nothing against Miles, but couldn't find a way into this at all. Again, pleasant enough but didn't really grab me. I Kind Of didn't mind it, but it won't be on my heavy rotation list.

There's a lot of emotions going off here. As with all jazz, its best listened to late afternoon. The space between the music is just as important as what you can hear. I often want more soul from the jazz I listen to. Kind of Blue achieves this. Timeless.

I mean, it's THE Jazz album. Everybody knows it. Dads are issued a copy in the mail when they buy their first Crosley suitcase turntable from Target. But it's inescapable for a reason because it's a masterpiece from beginning to end.

Eh, I prefer this over the sound of everyone tuning on top of each other for twenty minutes at a time, but Miles Davis continues to prove to me that I don't get jazz. I just don't understand what makes this so amazing. Often it is boring more than anything, and with how long winded each song can be, it can even be annoying. I could see enjoying this in the moment at a club or something, but just listening? Total bore. Nice piano playing, though.

Sometimes, a classic is a classic for a reason.

A generational talent. Amazing album, my favorite of his.

One of my favourite albums. And another that I can't do justice too amongst all the reviews for it. Part of my intro into loving jazz. Timeless

yeah no thanks

I'm so happy I just disccovered spotifys option to choose other releases. I don't think i could listen to two hours of Jazz in the legacy edition. Also I just prefer to listen to the records how the were orignally released. It's okay, not for me tho.

If you only own one jazz album....this is it....

Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue" is probably the album I've listened to more than any other in my life. It's the first jazz album I fell in love with. I can hum along to a lot of these solos as I listen. For years it was one of my go-to albums to play while studying. In high school and college, if I was feeling stressed or anxious or heartbroken, I would turn to "Kind of Blue" as if it were a comfort blanket. In high school, when my dad drove me to take the SATs, I wanted to be in a relaxed, focused state, so I played "Kind of Blue" on CD in the car. We drove the twenty-or-so minutes to the testing center, snow on the ground, listening to "So What" and "Freddie Freeloader." Another time in college, a few us ate weed cookies that were stronger than we anticipated. A few people were getting anxious and I was too baked to be helpful. But I played on "Kind of Blue" from my iPod and we all sat in my dorm room and chilled out, riding out the high. "Flamenco Sketches" is easily the song I've listened to the most in my life because I use it to help me fall asleep. On those restless nights when my mind is racing, I've always counted on "Flamenco Sketches" to center me and relax me. I'll play it on repeat, as softly as possible so that I can barely make out the notes. My brain starts to focus on the calming music instead of my thoughts and eventually... I drift into sleep. A few years back I was at a bachelor party in a cabin with no cell reception or internet. The weather was hot and humid and my friend was snoring in the bunk below me. I tried so hard to fall asleep but I couldn't. Then I remembered: I have a small handful of songs downloaded on my phone, including all of "Kind of Blue." I snuck off to a different part of the cabin, laid on the hardwood floor and played "Flamenco Sketches" until I was able to relax enough that I could fall asleep. I should back up a bit too because the whole reason I even started listening to Miles was because I had a crush on a girl in high school. I’d had some exposure to jazz. My dad loved jazz and he often played it in the house but he didn't have much Miles in his collection. He liked Charlie Parker more. Anyway, the girl I had a crush on came into school one day wearing a Miles Davis t-shirt and I just thought it was the coolest thing. I probably went to Borders that week to buy "Kind of Blue" on CD. I wanted to be ready if she asked me if I liked Miles. Nothing romantic ever happened between us (I was way too shy to make a move back then) but that t-shirt started a love affair with Miles Davis's music for me. I started collecting his albums and getting into his different eras (I love the 70's electric stuff the most). A year or two later, my parents bought me a t-shirt for Christmas... the exact t-shirt my crush had worn. I was mortified. I knew I could never wear it in school because she would see it and recognize it and how embarrassing! I hardly wore it at all until college. Then it became a high rotation t-shirt and I wore it until it had holes in it. I guess I should mention the music too. It's a perfect first jazz album to get into because you can play it in the background and listen casually. But if you put headphones on and zero in on the performances, you're treated to some spectacular solos. The album is wonderfully paced. It opens with the impossibly cool "So What." Those opening bass notes are fantastic; they set the mood perfectly. Then comes "Freddie Freeloader," a peppier song that picks up the pace a bit. Next is the gorgeous "Blue in Green." Bill Evans is such a beautiful piano player. Sometimes a phrase or melody of his catches my ear and time stands still. "All Blues" is a nice, long stretch of a song with more phenomenal and effortlessly cool playing. And of course "Flamenco Sketches" ends the album with a soft and stunningly beautiful lullaby. "Kind of Blue" is my number one desert island disc. If were stranded alone on a beach with no hope of contacting help, I'd want Miles to calm me down and keep my company.

What a lineup. Miles Davis, Bill Evans, John Coltrane... it doesn't really get better than that for jazz. (Personally Coltrane is my favorite). It just makes sense that this is a 5/5. It's got everything going for it and is one of the best albums of all time. Definitely one of the best jazz albums of all time. It's got everything you could want and the performances are just on another level. This lineup man, I can't say it enough.

Another album that's really nice to have on in the background, I liked and 'got' this more than Bitches Brew, I should probably come back to both at some point. Davis's work is top tier trumpet & jazz, though sometimes it's easy to forget that his style of jazz was something new. BT - Blue In Green (the piano section is so good) - All Blues - Flamenco Sketches

A group of instruments have never been so free from one other and yet so pefectly together. Unreal album. Impeccable vibes and range.

I wonder if suicide rates got higher when this came out

5.0 + Everyone: The perfect jazz record doesn't exist. Miles Davis: Hold my cocaine mirror.

I think Kind of Blue is Kind of Amazing!

one of the best jazz albums ever made, a masterpiece

No on tämä hyvä! Iskee sellaiseen itselle sopivaan soundiin just eikä melkeen! 4/5

Kaunista ja miellyttävää. Bitches Brew säväyttää enemmän, mutta on tämä kakkossuosikki Davisiltä.

Yksi kaikkien aikojen isoimmista jazz-levyistä eikä syyttä. Tulispa jo syksyn sateet jotta vois vielä enemmän virittyä tunnelmaan. 5/5

Whilst it didn't grab me for the entirety, there are some seriously beautiful passages of music here. For me, this oscillated between exactly what my 15-year-old self thought of when someone says "Jazz", and transcending to some of the most delicious sax and keys passages I've had the pleasure of hearing. Fav Track: Flamenco Sketches Strong 3.5/5

My jazz credentials are slim so I have nothing intelligent to say, but as far as classic(?) jazz goes, this has to be some of the best I've heard. Consistently engaging and amorphous, at times incredibly catchy, at times layered and complex. Vinyl is on high rotation at home. Four and a half. Fave track: Flamenco Sketches

A monument of an album featuring a who's who of jazz musicians. Simply a pleasure and a joy to listen through. Wonderfully dynamic and polished playing, and melodies that stick in your skin. Four and a half. Fave track: Blue in Green

Yuh this was a yuh / 10 (2/5)

Bens a bot! This album fucking slapped. Looking to add to my vinyl collection

Too jazzy

One of the best albums ever!

Je pense sincèrement que cet album aurait mérité plus, mais je l'ai écouté deux fois et j'étais incapable de ne pas penser à autre chose, toujours distraite. À redécouvrir plus tard

modal jazzzzzzzzz faves: Kind Of Blue, So What, Freddie Freeloader 4.5-5/5

I am not big jazz fan but I really enjoyed this album. Very versatile. A real classic. Smooth Sunday 🎵🎧✌️

I think that the album featuring Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Cannonball Adderley is going to be good. What a surprise, it was. Favorite track: All Blues

Very good. But at the risk of angering every jazz fan ever, I think Cannonball Adderley was even better when leading his own band.

Enjoyable, even if i'm never going to rave about jazz

Came for the bangers. Bored from the rest

It's revolutionary. It's nearly perfect. It's stood the test of time. Its importance cannot be overstated, so I won't try. Truly beautiful.

I like electric Miles better, but this is great.

Not as good as Bitches Brew mind

BL: Miles Davis is one of the most iconic figures in Jazz and one of the reasons why I picked up trying to learn the trumpet, I’ve never listened to this album the whole way through but I’m sure I’ve heard each individual track at some point. AL: very competent jazz album, excellent lounge listening and Davis is certainly one of if not the best Brass player of all time. FT: “So What”, “All Blues” 3/5

Just don't really like Jazz, but it is good

Enjoyed this, another instrumental album.

Heel aangenaam jazzalbum

Delightful

Yeah boi. Ya like absolute jazz

one of the greats! def a top 10 jazz album

I apologise in advance, and I know that to many jazz fans this is heresy, but PLEASEEEEEEE MR GENERATOR STOP GIVING ME MILES DAVIS ALBUMSSSSSSSSSSSS I HATE THEM SOOOOO MUCH PLEASE PLEASE LET ME ESCAPE FROM THIS HELL THAT I AM IN I FEEL LIKE ILL NEVER ESCAPE THE JAZZ AND THE ONLY KIND OF JAZZ I LIKE IS SWINGGGGGGG The last minute or two of ‘Freddie Freeloader’ was pretty good, but 45 minutes of this kind of jazz feels like 500 years of any other genre

GOATED. Next question.

Nice sounding album for jazz bar background music. Good for creating an jazzy atmosphere

Hard pass.

гениально

Yeah, I'm just going to let my fellow reviewers speak for me on this one. Definitely one of the very best I've heard since starting this project.

Masterpiece

Probably the most definitive jazz album? Phenomenal playing all around. And look at who plays on this! Insane lineup.

Awesome

Good music. Maybe I don’t know a lot about jazz but I can’t believe that “Kind Of Blue” is the best album in jazz. What was before this album?

I’m not smart enough to distinguish between this and elevator music

Yeah this is a good album and we like it

This one was def better than the last one but still just okay to me. I mean good jazz I guess. 3.5 rounded

Incredibly random that I’ve listened to this multiple times in the last week before this popped up because of a ChatGPT reco.. Amazing album for relaxing, reading or anytime I want a smooth atmosphere.

Out of this world!

Can’t be less than five.
