Also includes such well-known jazz musicians as Cannonball Adderly, Paul Chambers, James Cobb, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, & Wynton Kelly. This painterly masterpiece is one of the most important, influential and popular albums in jazz. At the time it was made, Kind of Blue was also a revolution all its own. Turning his back on standard chord progressions, trumpeter Miles Davis used modal scales as a starting point for composition and improvisation.
