50 years later: How influential was “Kind of Blue”?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I bought Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue” a decade ago after a friend suggested my CD collection wouldn’t be complete without this gem.
He was right. I was hooked a minute into “So What”.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of this jazz masterpiece and there is a ton of information on the “making of.” Go to our new Chatter blog on WordPress and share your thoughts on the influence of “Kind of Blue” on jazz and music in general.

I had a friend who died from throat cancer. The song his girlfriend played as she held him in his last moments was the song “Kind of blue”. RIP my friend.
