Una discoteca ideal:
Miles Davis

Ningún disco de jazz acumula tantas distinciones en forma simultánea como "Kind of Blue". Ha sido considerado como el disco de jazz por excelencia; como una síntesis de la historia del jazz hasta la fecha; el punto final de la era del bop - una especie de despedida a los años de Miles Davis junto a Charlie Parker- y la piedra de toque de toda una era. Su impacto en el jazz modal - tonalidad y solos construidos a partir de los acordes- , la popularidad de sus composiciones y su sonido, además de la larga trayectoria de su éxito comercial proyectan una sombra que continúa creciendo a pesar de los años.

"Kind of Blue" fue grabado el 2 de marzo de 1959 por una banda excepcional: John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Winton Kelly, Cannonball Adderley, Paul Chambers y Jimmy Cobb. Siguiendo el rastro de la trayectoria discográfica de cada uno de estos músicos se puede armar de manera sorprendente buena parte del panorama musical de lo que se conoce como jazz moderno.
