This is quite simply one of the best jazz albums ever created. Over the years I have collected several hundred albums by all different artists. I have a particular affection for trumpet, and especially for Miles.

This album was the first ever given to me, and is the gold standard by which all other music I have ever heard or owned is judged. My collection started with this and since has turned into a runaway train.

If I had to give up the rest of my music, I could survive for eternity with this album. There is nothing more to say, just listen.

If I was limited to five albums on a desert island, I would also take along "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd, "Siamese Dream," by the Smashing Pumpkins, "Revolver," by the Beatles, "A Love Supreme," by John Coltrane, and "Strangeways, Here We Come," by The Smiths, but if I could only take one, it would be "Kind of Blue."

Simply put, "Kind of Blue" is the best record ever made, by any artist, in any genre of music, ever. It will survive any amount of playing; it is impossible to tire of this wonderful album. It is unlikely it will ever be surpassed.

you may not even notice how good this album is, but believe me, you will. The remastered version makes a classic album even better, making this the definitive Miles Davis release. the musical permutations are stunning and weave around you as you listen, and they seem to go on and on, making you pay attention. if you are worried that it is a muzak sound, it is nothing close. Miles and company are not looking to lightly entertain you, they are creating something much greater and cooler. Everyone needs to have this cd. I also recommend Blue Train by John Coltrane and Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet if you like this cd. Of course, even those classics can't top this one!

There was no greater musical genius than Miles.

This is a great set of songs.

Absolutely perfect if you want something mellow and indescribably pretty. This record just exudes confidence. It sounds nonchalant but it's really very calculated. Miles is in absolute control of his instrument -- a master at work.

Just great!
