IF THERE'S A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN, THIS IS THE SOUNDTRACK: THE MT. RUSHMORE OF JAZZ SESSIONS
1/4" / 15 IPS / Dolby SR analog remix master to DSD 64 to analog console to lathe
How does one properly introduce an epochal record? Perhaps by unequivocally stating that it is the best-selling jazz album in history. Or by affirming that, every year, it sells tens of thousands of copies more than five decades after its original release. There's also the matter of its status as the most-referenced, and arguably, most important, jazz recording of all-time. And the Dream Team lineup of Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb. Yes, Kind of Blue is utterly inimitable.
