What's so special about this album? It sounds like every other jazz album.

Xavier Smith
Cooper James
Exactly. But it was the first to do so.
Jordan Edwards
no it doesn't
Benjamin Lewis
It doesn't sound like Giant Steps, or Bitches Brew, or Free Jazz, or Somethin' Else.
Jaxson Brown
Any Forums plebs can never grasp modal jazz
(yes, yes, only two tracks on KoB are modal, but it was still a novel concept)
Zachary Collins
Nothing, it's just a more boring Blue Train for plebs.
Daniel Richardson
is it that nigga from house m.d.
Chase Price
Blue train is just Coltrane trying to sound like Blakey
Jason Lee
So What is a great track and that's about it, and it's not even the best version
Matthew Sanders
Shit taste. Objectively correct ranking is:
Blue in Green > All Blues > Flamenco Sketches > So What > Freddie Freeloader
Austin Jenkins
flamenco sketches > everything else
Colton Myers
it has the most modes so it should be seen as the centerpiece of the album
Andrew Cook
I could maybe bump it above All Blues, but no way it touches one of the best ballads ever written.
Thomas Jones
Why would it get recommended so hard then? Sure it was the shit back in the day but a modern listener is going to hear it and be like "ugh i've heard stuff like this a million other times"
Aiden Reed
there is a certain freshness to it in the modal tunes and how they approach playing the blues and it's a real all-star band - Miles, Coltrane, Cannoball Adderley and Bill Evans in the same band is a pretty stacked line-up of some of the greatest leaders of jazz in their own rights
I've always found it interesting about Kind of Blue that the albums reputation as "the default jazz album" kind of distracts you from how incredibly stacked the band is with top talent who were or already or would become top tier leaders and icons
Isaac Campbell
Retard
Eli Perry
only if all jazz sounds the same to you
Camden Sanders
Flamenco Sketches > All Blues > Blue in Green > So What > Freddie Freeloader
Camden Evans
Because considering how tragic jazz as a genre is, this album isn't too bad
Thomas Richardson
it's the best selling jazz album ever. everyone knows popular equals good.
Charles Lewis
Based retarded question.
