I now own it on vinyl, too, of course, but four years ago, John Atkinson presented me with the SACD/CD dual-disc. It quickly cured my headaches and has remained one of my very favorite albums. Listening to it at least once a month keeps my mind and body healthy.
The Jazz Messenger informs us that today is Kind of Blue's 50th birthday. The album was released on August 17, 1959. (Fred Kaplan knows just about everything there is to know about 1959, by the way.) Happy birthday, Kind of Blue.
For last year's 50th Anniversary set, Legacy Recordings put together this nice video.
