How does one properly introduce an epochal record?
Perhaps by unequivocally stating that it is the best-selling jazz album in history
Or by affirming that, every year, it sells tens of thousands of copies more than five decades after its original release
There's also the matter of its status as the most-referenced, and arguably, most important, jazz recording of all-time
And the Dream Team lineup of Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb
Yes, Kind of Blue is utterly inimitable
In our three-decade-plus history, Mobile Fidelity has never been prouder to have the honor of handling efforts as important as Davis' key recordings
It's why our engineers took every available measure to transport listeners to the March and April 1959 sessions that parlayed modal jazz into mainstream language
The blueprint for melodic improvisation and vamping, Kind of Blue simplifies tonal organization and chordal progression into an eminently beautiful, introspective tapestry stitched with swinging poetry, mellifluous soloing, compositional lyricism, transcendental harmonies, and group interplay of the highest caliber
