60 years ago, on August 15, 1959, saw the release of Kind of Blue arguably the greatest jazz album ever recorded. Kind of blue is the best selling jazz record of all time, no. 1 on the BBC 50 greatest jazz albums, and no 12 on the rolling stone magazine list of the 50 greatest albums fall time. Jazz Pianist Chick Corea said about the album. “It is one thing to play a tune or a program of music, but it’s another to practically create a new language of music, which is what Kind of Blue did.” Quincy Jones called it “a work of art that explains what jazz is.” Come listen to what all the fuss is about as we play live recordings from the album and sample some covers.
