No, "Somethin Else" led by Cannonball Adderly is a better album. Miles and Cannonball appear on both albums, but believe it or not; Miles sounds better on the Cannonball album and the music is better.
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?
