- Listnin' 2 Blind Melon's 2nd album 'Soup' after re-reading about sad death of Hoon in '95. Great Album, some stuning bass work on here too.. 
Now, I listen to a lot of different stuff, most of which my Father would put firmly in the ‘Shit’ genre, but even he wouldn’t dare say anything about this Man, and neither would any self respecting musician. Whether you like Jazz or hate it, I challenge you to listen to this and have a bad word to say about it.
A lot of Jazz is just not my cup of tea me if I’m honest, but listening to this both at work and at home this week just made me want a ridiculously small coffee drink, a black polo neck and some form of lengthy, colored cigarette.
Its chill music, reading music, Sunday morning music.
Kind of Blue’s medium tempo, mode driven improvisations were the epitome of cool at the time, with the production and players to match.
John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley out front with Miles, Jimmy Cobb on Drums, pianist Bill Evans and the amazing Paul Chambers on Bass.
In 1959 when it was released – about the same time as Dave Brubeck’s Time Out,(for all you Jazzers out there) - Brubeck’s record sold more, but these days, I’m happy to report that Kind of Blue is rightly placed as the best-selling Jazz Album in history.
Just get it.
