Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue

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

This album is totally unique in jazz for a couple of reasons - it was largely improvised almost on the spot - it does not contain a bunch of well worn jazz stardards that started as pop standards. Its very "modal" - long solos within a specific chord as opposed to frequent chord changes and modulations. And there is some controversy as to whether Bill Evans should get composing credit for much of the album as opposed to Miles. (So is it more like a Bill Evans album or a Miles album?)
So you won't really find other albums that "sound" or "feel" like this one IMO. Just try to go for the "best of the best". For Bill Evans, Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debbie. How about Ornette Coleman - Shape of Jazz to Come. Coltrane - Love Supreme. Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil - an all time classic of the genre - has a similar darkness/minor feel to Kind of Blue. Monk and Coltrane -they made 2-3 classics together. Check out Terence Blanchard - or Christian Scott - innovative current trumpeters. Don't forget the free samples on itunes
