Flac 24-96 Sacd: Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue -1959-

Kind of Blue is a quiet album that gets loud. The dynamic range in high-resolution allows for this contrast to be breath-taking. The transition from the soft piano chords on "Blue in Green" to the brassy swells of the trumpet is handled with a smoothness that standard "Red Book" CD (16-bit/44.1kHz) often struggles to replicate without a hint of harshness or digital glare.

Kind of Blue is one of the most influential jazz albums ever recorded. Released in August 1959, Miles Davis assembled a sextet of near-mythic players — John Coltrane (tenor sax), Julian “Cannonball” Adderley (alto sax), Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Jimmy Cobb (drums) — and captured a set of modal, spacious compositions that reshaped jazz improvisation and composition. The album’s five tracks — “So What,” “Freddie Freeloader,” “Blue in Green,” “All Blues,” and “Flamenco Sketches” — emphasize modality, lyrical phrasing, understatement, and tone over rapid chord changes, creating a timeless, contemplative atmosphere.
