Item Description

If you own just one jazz record, Kind of Blue is the one.  Released in 1959, its new and spontaneous musical language stunned the world. Its influence goes far beyond jazz; it’s both the best selling jazz album ever, and #12 on Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Albums of All Time. Drummer and NEA Jazz Master Jimmy Cobb, the only surviving member from the original recording, leads an all-star band performing all five of Kind of Blue’s masterpieces, including "So What," "Freddie Freeloader," "Blue in Green," "All Blues" and "Flamenco Sketches," plus other classics by Davis, Coltrane, and “Cannonball” Adderley, and original compositions inspired by this era.  The Kind of Blue 50th Anniversary Tour features Jimmy Cobb’s So What Band with Jeremy Pelt, Vincent Herring, Javon Jackson, Buster Williams, and Larry Willis.
