 Rating:  - Kind of GreatMuch has been said about the Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue." The album is the subject of two books and any Miles Davis bio worth picking up devotes several pages to it's development and musical importance. The record is known for its simplicity and improvisation, as the sextet of jazz masters use a minimum amount of chords to create a mood that's profound, yet accessible. The original album consists of five tracks recorded in two days. Now, a half a century after its creation, there's a lot more. Read More Rating:  - How Many Times Are They Going To Release This Album?I have 3 versions of "Kind Of Blue." I have the MD version, the old Columbia Masterpiece remaster, and the newly Columbia remaster with added alternate takes. I think something like this is a huge waste of money even from a collector's standpoint. If you didn't have "Kind Of Blue," then I can see something like this being a good investment, but take it from a pure jazz collector like myself, it's not worth $70. It's worth maybe $25 or $30. I'm disappointed that Columbia continues to put this album out. ...

The packaging gets a point off for the way they slide the CDs & DVD into slits in the LP cover. But the WORST part about all this is the way it gets packaged by Amazon for shipping.

Luckily, there was only minor damage to one of the corners (if I returned it for that, the replacement could arrive in worse condition, so I'm gonna ... Read More Rating: - best de luxe reissue ever seenI have many thousands of 78s, cassettes, CDs, open reel tapes, just name it, but I have never seen such a perfect reissue. The music, we know it, but the package, rare photos, unissued takes makes this one simply the best reissue I have ever seen (and I have seen many of them). Enjoy it, like I have done. Rating: - Beautiful package, but not much new musicFirst off, the packaging of this set is flat out gorgeous. From the blue vinyl... to the book... to the photographs... to the reproduced artifacts... to the slipcase, this release truly is a collector item. So if you REALLY love the album (and by that I mean not just the music but everything about it from the artwork to Bill Evans' liner notes on down), you will not be disappointed. That said there is not much in the way of new material here. The false starts and studio dialog really add ... Read More |
