Rating this fresh off from Kind of Blue. This is much less focused and free. There's a lot going on here, while Kind of Blue was more subdued and structured. While I liked Kind of Blue, I enjoy this album for the energy and dynamics. Though it's not the daily driver that KOB was, it is more upbeat. I think I'd have a rough time listening to this on a relaxed Sunday afternoon. I could maybe put this on for the a.m. routine for a little pep in my step. Neither are better and both very adequate.
