The motor on the studio's 3-track master recorder was running slowly the day of the album's first session. This speed issue affected the album's first three tracks, \"So What,\" \"Freddie Freeloader\" and \"Blue in Green,\" making them a barely perceptible quarter-tone sharp. Before now, it was only addressed in 1995 for the Classic Records edition and by Columbia Records — or their latter-day parent, Sony Music — on a CD reissue in the late '90s. This edition also contains on Side 4 \"Flamenco Sketches (alternate take)\" cut at 45 RPM.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLegends have a way of sticking around. If there was ever an album awaiting a high-fidelity, custom-pressed vinyl treatment of the level you now hold in your hands, it is Miles Davis' \u003cem\u003eKind of Blue\u003c\/em\u003e. The top-selling jazz album of all time, it has been lauded, entered into \"Best Of\" lists and Halls of Fame, and universally acknowledged as a landmark recording - a five-track masterpiece of melancholy mood and melody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt continues to be one of the most listened-to and studied recordings of all time, a required primer for many young musicians, and one of the most transcendent pieces of music ever recorded. Davis played trumpet sublime with his ensemble sextet featuring pianist Bill Evans, drummer Jimmy Cobb, bassist Paul Chambers, and saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian \"Cannonball\" Adderley with Wynton Kelly playing piano on \"Freddy the Freeloader.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKind of Blue\u003c\/em\u003e is more than Miles Davis's most enduring recording, it's a testament to Miles' experimental approach, drastically simplifying modern jazz by returning to melody unlike the chord complexity more often heard at the time. \"The music has gotten thick,\" Davis complained in a 1958 interview for The Jazz Review. \"... There will be fewer chords but infinite possibilities as to what to do with them.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKind of Blue\u003c\/em\u003e is, in a sense, all melody — and atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone of the musicians had played any of the tunes before heading into the first of two recording sessions in early spring of 1959. In fact Miles had written out the settings for most of them only a few hours before the session. Miles also stuck to his old recording procedure of having virtually no rehearsal and only one take for each tune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiles remained proud of the album, performing at least two of its tracks — \"So What\" and \"All Blues\" — for years after, until his musical path took him in a different direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistory was on the side of \u003cem\u003eKind of Blue\u003c\/em\u003e; it was born in 1959, at the peak of the golden age of high-fidelity, featuring innovations in studio equipment (magnetic tape, high-quality condenser microphones), matched by advancements in home audio reproduction (long-player records — LPs; high-end turntables, and other stereo components). \u003cem\u003eKind of Blue\u003c\/em\u003e also benefited from Miles' being signed to the leading major record company of the day — Columbia Records, a part of the CBS media conglomerate. Columbia had the means and wisdom to invest in cutting edge recording technology, and their own professional recording studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis LP bridges the time span since the album's original recording in the best way possible, struck from the master reel of \u003cem\u003eKind of Blue\u003c\/em\u003e, free of speed issues and replete with all the instrumental detail, sonic environment and minimal noise. All-in-all this edition of \u003cem\u003eKind of Blue\u003c\/em\u003e meets the highest audiophile standards and offers the truest sound for the most enjoyment. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.acousticsounds.com\/d\/186328\/Miles_Davis-Kind_of_Blue-180_Gram_Vinyl_Record\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLabel\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— \u003cbr\u003eThe American jazz cannon brims with brilliance, but if one had to pick the definitive jazz album, most would point to Miles Davis’ \u003cem\u003eKind of Blue\u003c\/em\u003e. Beyond being a paragon of its own storied genre, Kind of Blue is undoubtedly one of the greatest works of art of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaptained by Davis alongside a dream team of Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb - this album remains revolutionarily inventive. With only the barest sketch of a concept in mind, these seven masters took turns leading the music in directions that defied strict chord progressions - resulting in something immensely cool, romantic, melancholic and melodic. Kind of Blue is that rare, universally-beloved record in the entire jazz canon. — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Analog Vault\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1weenld61qoidwYuZ1GESA?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl tracklist:\u003cbr\u003eA1 So What\u003cbr\u003eA2 Freddie Freeloader\u003cbr\u003eA3 Blue In Green\u003cbr\u003eB1 All Blues\u003cbr\u003eB2 Flamenco Sketches\u003cbr\u003eC1 So What (Original Speed)\u003cbr\u003eC2 Freddie Freeloader (Original Speed)\u003cbr\u003eC3 Blue In Green (Original Speed)\u003cbr\u003eD1 Flamenco Sketches (Alternate Take)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Columbia, Analogue Productions\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2 x Vinyl, 12\", 33 ⅓ RPM, 45 RPM, Limited Edition, Stereo, Corrected Speed Edition\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2025 \/ Original release: 1959\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Modal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: TAV Essential Listening\u003cbr\u003eFile under: Jazz - Trumpet\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analogue Productions \/ Columbia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46270911217822,"sku":"196588867613","price":75.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/b_cc24ada1-c291-4d23-8359-3f822e3ddcc4.jpg?v=1765364787","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/miles-davis-kind-of-blue-analogue-productions-corrected-speed-limited-edition","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
