I was not a huge jazz fan, but got into it for the quality of recording aspects. Three jazz cds in my collection are KOB, Jazz at the Pawnshop and Cafe Blue - all said to be some of the best recordings ever. Of the three, Kind of Blue is my favorite by far. I listen to KOB regularly, and appreciate it more and more with each play.
Is Kind of Blue the Best Jazz Album Ever
Let me begin by qualifying "best", in this case I use the word best to mean the most representative or widely accepted.
Kind of Blue is not my favorite album, but whenever I listen to it I feel that if someone were to ask me what is Jazz I would be compelled to play it, more specifically "So What".
Maybe it is the star studded cast, Miles Davis, Coltrane, Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderly. On their own these guys are legends. Together?
So the question can be twisted, are they any other jazz albums that could represent what Jazz so perfectly?
