Fleshbomb, I'll just second your line (replacing the word 'musical' with 'Jazz'....)

you don't know what jazz is. this isn't "cool jazz" and it's not even just a "jazz trumpet". it's a JAZZ SEXTET (trumpet, alto sax, tenor sax, piano, double bass, drums), and the style is MODAL JAZZ. so what—brandnew group ➤ Kind of Blue !

As much as I respect Bitches Brew (for it's impact on fusion) and even the underrated Aura (c'mon, it's a pretty cool concept), I think this is the best album he's ever done.

I agree. It's almost a cliche to say that this is one of the greatest musical albums of all time, but - Jesus - it truly f*ing is.

when i bought this record, i was tempted to regard the claim that it would become an indispensible part of my life as hyperbole. i now consider the claim justified. there's something perfect about this record that i can't explain.

With all respect to Cannonball Adderlhey, great player that he was, when Coltrane busts into his solos, it's WTF! time. This is the future, the past, the inner. Deal with it. Quite simply Miles at his finest. When you think of Miles, this is what you think of. And, Paul Chambers, too. Masterpiece.

Simply the best Jazz ablum of it's era, possibly ever - given the players it could not have been any better.
