   Miles Davis. Kind of Blue

   There is a really good reason this is the biggest selling jazz album ever. Its both accessible (and at the time) groundbreaking; bringing modal jazz to the mainstream. Just brilliant!

   Strandout tracks:
   All Bues - from the swirling piano intro, a fabulously atmospheric groove;
   So What - often covered, but never bettered.

   But really all five tracks are genius by Davis & his stellar band.
