Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue

a little more on 'in a silent way'. i read that someone had recommended such album on this thread. truth is , in a silent way is a very different period in miles davis vast catalog. it is from his 'electric' period in which he experimented with fusion and rock. it is a great album though, but it would be unfair to compare it to in a kind of blue. they're on different leagues, not even the same musical style. i would recommend the album, but be warned, it isn't pure 50's jazz. it is something else.

but "In a Silent Way" does not cut it for me. may be the sample on amazon is to short to feel it.

If you are destined to get into this album, listening to a taste on the 'net will definitely not make it happen. It's a "grow to love it" recording, IMO. As Proghead notes, it is not remotely like KOB, but is in fact closer to his electric stuff...which is not to missed either.

Definitely check out "L'Ascenseur pour L'Echafaud". It's a soundtrack, and one of his best recordings, IMO.

imho check out these recordings:

Webster Young: For Lady

Paul Desmond: Living Easy

Chet Baker: In Paris

Kenny Burrell: Midnight Blue

these are the first ones that popped into my head.

Agree with Audphile 1.
KOB is as unique as Abbey Road.

Check out First Light by Freddie Hubbard and Journey to the One by Pharoah Sanders
