The zen of jazz.
Miles Davis' Kind of Blue is arguably the greatest jazz record. There are many words written about this record and the musicians who made it. And I have little to add. Davis' modal jazz is minimalism at its best--nothing here but the essence of the music, reminding the listener of classical Japanese design where the symbol of the thing is the thing itself. I've been driving around listening to the 1997 reissue on CD without pause. Not a bad song here.
