This 1959 all-time classic is one of the monuments of jazz: So What; Freddie Freeloader; Blue in Green; All Blues, and Flamenco Sketches. This vinyl release is the way to experience one of the greatest albums ever made. Review: Great-sounding jazz and a great pressing - Kind of Blue by Miles Davis is an absolute classic and one of the most important jazz records ever made. Beyond the music itself, this 180-gram pressing is excellent. The vinyl feels substantial and well made, and the pressing quality is very clean. Surface noise is minimal, with quiet backgrounds that really let the music breathe. The soundstage is wide and natural, with great separation between instruments and a warmth that suits this album perfectly. The dynamics come through beautifully — the horns have body without harshness, the bass is full and controlled, and the cymbals sound smooth and natural. It’s the kind of pressing that encourages you to sit back and listen all the way through. A timeless album paired with a high-quality pressing. This is an essential record and a fantastic addition to any vinyl collection, especially if you appreciate well-pressed, great-sounding jazz on vinyl. Review: high-quality pressing - There’s a reason *Kind of Blue* is the ultimate jazz record, but spinning a clean, high-quality pressing of it is a completely different experience. The sense of space on this album is incredible; it literally feels like the band is pushed into the corners of your room. Miles’ trumpet sits dead center, sharp and intimate without ever getting piercing, while Coltrane and Adderley cut through the left and right channels with absolute clarity. The standout for me is the upright bass—it has a deep, woody weight to it that digital versions usually flatten out, and you can actually hear the texture of the fingers on the strings. Even the faint tape hiss from the original 1959 master adds to the atmosphere rather than distracting from it. It’s one of those rare records where you don't just listen to the music, you listen to the room it was recorded in. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B0041TM5OU | | Best Sellers Rank | #1 in Modern Postbebop (CDs & Vinyl) | | Date First Available | September 5, 2010 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Model Number | 28941729 | | Label | Legacy Recordings | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Legacy Recordings | | Number Of Discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2011 | | Product Dimensions | 12 x 0.2 x 12.1 inches; 9.6 ounces | | Run Time | 45 minutes | ## Images ![Kind of Blue - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51CtGfMz4WL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great-sounding jazz and a great pressing *by T***Y on January 31, 2026* Kind of Blue by Miles Davis is an absolute classic and one of the most important jazz records ever made.
