"Considered by many jazz fans and critics to be one of the genre's most definitive albums. All of the tracks have a relaxed and easygoing feel. Davis' backing band includes such legends as Cannonball Adderly and Bill Evans."
"The DVD, entitled "Celebrating a masterpiece: Kind of blue," incorporates Columbia staff photographer Don Hunstein's black-and-white still photography of the studio sessions, the voice of Miles at the sessions, and excerpts of radio interviews with Evans and Adderley. There are interviews with David Amram, the late Ed Bradley, Ron Carter, Jimmy Cobb, Bill Cosby, Herbie Hancock (who demonstrates "So what" at the piano), funk-rocker Me'Shell Ndegeocello, hip-hop's Q-Tip, Carlos Santana, John Scofield, Horace Silver, and many others. It also unearths the group's entire 26 minute in-session appearance on "Robert Herridge Theatre: The sound of Miles Davis," a CBS television program recorded in 1959 and broadcast in 1960. The documentary was produced by Nell Mulderry, directed by Chris Lenz, edited by Paul Rachman, co-produced by Ashley Kahn, and written by Michael Cuscuna."
"The book includes "Kind of Blue at 50" by Francis Davis ; "The Last King of America: how Miles Davis invented modernity," by Professor Gerald Early of Washington State University in St. Louis ; and a session-by-session transcript compiled and expounded upon by Ashley Kahn."
"Originally released in 1959, Miles Davis's magnum opus Kind of Blue is still considered by many to be one of the greatest albums of all time. Starring Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb, Kind of Blue has held onto its status as an album that crosses genres, speaks to generations, and is a cornerstone to any music collection. This landmark edition of Kind of Blue celebrates a masterwork and its prelude, offering the only other studio sides we have of Davis's sextet, and a later live recording, illustrating how this band evolved and where they were headed on their journey toward immortality -- container."
