Rezensionen


"Ein Rest Unerklärliches bleibt immer, denn die sechs Musiker brauchten nur zwei Sessions, um diese fünf Stücke aufzunehmen. Sogar die paar Worte zwischen den Takes sind dokumentiert, dazu gibt es die Fotos von Don Hunstein. Miles bemühte sich um die "mittlere Lage" beispielhaft in "So What", den reinen Ton. Dabei ist die Platte ein Kompendium aus Idiomen wie Blues und Flamenco und Ballade, die hier ineinanderfließen. "Komponiert" wurde nichts, allenfalls knapp notiert oder angesagt." (rollingstone. de)

"To the musicians who recorded it, Kind of Blue was just another session when it was released in August 1959. But the disc was quickly recognized by the jazz community as a classic. Jazz musicians were startled by the truly different sound on an album that laid out a clear roadmap for further modal explorations." (npr. org)

"The music is somehow, at once, romantic, austere, meditative, introverted and soulful. It's like an essay on the virtue of simplicity." (LA Times)

"Kind of Blue marked a new, elegantly simple, and resoundingly beautiful approach to jazz improvisation." (jazz. about. com)

"“Kind of Blue” is widely held to be the first album based on modal jazz, establishing a basis for much of the jazz of the 60s and 70s, the jazz revival of the 90s and signposting the free jazz movement. In bringing modal forms to a wide audience, it has also been influential in the development of rock and world music. This reputation is large and deserved. “Kind of Blue” is simply one of those epoch making albums that continues to grow in stature." (100greatestjazzalbums. blogspot. com)
