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
