Who knew in 1959, when Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb recorded a midtempo/ballad album built around scalar modes, that it would become the most popular jazz album of all time? Since its release, KOB's selections--the bluesy "So What," and "Freddie Freeloader," the waltz-like "All Blues," the dreamy "Blue in Green" and the Spanish tinged "Flamenco Sketches"--have become standards. The latest version of this classic LP is reissued in a new 2-sided DualDisc format, which includes an audio version, 5.1 multichannel surround sound, studio outtakes, and a photo gallery. It also includes "Made in Heaven: The Story of Kind of Blue," a documentary about the legendary recording, featuring a wide array of musicians and fans, from Ed Bradley of 60 Minutes and rapper Q-Tip, to Shirley Horn, and Cobb (sadly, KOB's last surviving musician). --Eugene Holley, Jr.
