Kind of perfect
Like any great work of art, Kind Of Blue transcends its genre. The record's soft, hypnotic textures and stunning emotional range should appeal to just about anybody who's listening, no matter what they think of jazz. It's a masterpiece of sustained mood and atmosphere, brimming with restrained cool and nervous energy. The group's playing is spare and beautiful, layered with a multitude of emotions, attitudes, and ideas. It's music that speaks to the thoughts and feelings that you've never been able to express, that brings to life your half-forgotten dreams and quiet longings. It's the record you would have made, if only you knew how.

All of which is my pseudo-intellectual, laughably pretentious way of saying that this album is wonderfully unique. It's dreamy; it's gorgeous and atmospheric. Its textures are lush and nuanced. The music epitomizes simplicity as a source of beauty- the arrangements and compositions are spare and open, giving each player ample room to express himself. Indeed, Miles' genius is in how large a canvas he creates, stripping the entirety of jazz down to a basic framework of scales and chords, and trusting his companions (a veritable dream team of middle period American jazz) completely.

The result is a masterpiece. The five songs here are among the greatest recordings ever made: "So What" opens the album with an incredibly smokey, soulful late-night ambiance, instantly evoking some sort of nightclub nirvana. Coltrane's solo is a thing of wonder. "Freddie Freeloader" is somehow both unabashedly passionate and a paragon of hip detachment. "Blue In Green" is simply gorgeous, and "All Blues" is full of tense, nervous energy. "Flamenco Sketches" is a dreamy, fluttering slice of atmosphere.

It's absolutely brilliant. No music collection is complete without it.
Lame bass thumping all through, boom boo boo boom
how can someone enjoy the horn when all through EVERY song this constant bass thumping, boom boo boo boom boom boo boom boo boom boom boom boo boo boom STUPID!

that is a stand up bass thats doing that, right? or is it my uneducated jazz ears

Now Sketches of Spain CD. thats what its all about. some bass, but its minimal and in the background, not dominating the songs


School assignment
I bought this CD for an assignment for a Music Appreciation class. And that tells you what I know about the elements of music that make it good (or bad).

My biggest gripe is that I can hear hiss and other noises that could/should have been removed when this was remastered.

As for the music itelself, this is what I think of when I hear people talk about Jazz. But it sounds like every small Jazz band I hear at formal events. maybe they're all coppying this? But it is pleasant to listen to.

Now how do I expand that into 3+ typed pages?
