Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue


Gents, please advice on picking up some jazz music. I am not so much into classic Jazz sound, but I found Miles Davis' Kind of Blue to be impressive. I would say the same thing to the song "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck.

I have so far sampled "Steps to Heaven", "Someday My Prince Will Come" and "Miles Ahead", but none of them come close to "Kind of Blue", IMHO. Can you point me to similar albums - Miles or others?

Thanks

I have sampled the latest suggestions, and here is my rating (and already on my buying list):

1. Johnny Hodges: Johnny Hodges,Billy Strayhorn and the Orchestra
2. Mal Waldron/Eric Dolphy: The Quest
3. Miles Davis: "L'Ascenseur pour L'Echafaud"
4. Sonny Rollins: Saxophone Colossus

Thanks guys for helping me diversify my collection:
The same year Davis recorded Kind of Blue he also recorded "Sketches of Spain", and 18 years later, a group of top musicians, some who have been mentioned on this interesting thread, recorded an album with the same feel (and same composition at its root) -

Concierto - Jim Hall

Hall is one of the great jazz guitarists and he's joined by Chet Baker on trumpet, Paul Desmond on alto sax and Ron Carter on bass.

And if you like that, or even if you don't, you should also listen to Hall playing with Bill Evans in Undercurrent.
The Cannonball Adderly "Something Else" suggestion is probably closest. Others that I would consider ar Kenny Burrell "Midnight Blue" featuring guitar, Bill Evans "Portrait" and "Explorations" piano, Wynton Kelly "Kelly Blue" more piano, Chet Baker "Chet" trumpet with an even milder edge, maybe John Coltranes "Ballads" not considered one of his best but one of my favorites.

The Tomasz Stanko recommendations are a good suggestion. Along with "Suspended Night" I would look at "Soul of Things".

But, in the end "Kind of Blue" stands by itself as maybe the greatest jazz album of all time.
I find it quite funny that I found this thread because I've been asking friends and co-workers for the last two weeks what kinda Jazz out there sounds like Kind of Blue and Dave Brubeck's Take Five. Since reading all the posts listed in this thread I've just bought 6 disc's (mostly what Planckscale like as well) off of Amazon.ca ranging from Gene Ammons - Boss Tenor to Miles Davis. I like that oldschool laid back jazzy sound. A few people have recommended me some jazz-fushion stuff that I absolutely detest. Hopefully I'll enjoy all the new music i just bought.
Miles Davis ESP. This pre-dates Kind of Blue by less than a year, the lineup is essentially the same. The music is a little more up-tempo, but there are some significant nods towards the modality of KOB to come. Also, IMHO the recording quality is better, as KOB seems to have suffered more than the usual number of mishaps along the way.
