Agree with Henry, great call. Another one I would recommend is Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage. It doesn't actually sound like KOB, but it is similarly accessible and lyrical with spare arrangements and wonderful playing. The young Herbie along with the young Freddie Hubbard, the very young Tony Williams (whose brilliance is abundant on this record), and George Coleman and Ron Carter. It's a jazz album that has managed to penetrate my DNA in almost the same way KOB has.
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
