MILES DAVIS - KIND OF BLUE (New Vinyl)

NEW VINYL

Studio album by American jazz trumpeter Miles Davis. It is regarded by many critics as the greatest jazz record, Davis's masterpiece, and one of the best albums of all time.

The album featured Davis' ensemble sextet consisting of saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian ""Cannonball"" Adderley, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb, with former band pianist Bill Evans appearing on most of the tracks in place of Kelly.
