Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:Miles Davis
Song:All Blues
Album:Miles Davis & John Coltrane:The Complete Columbia Recordings 1955-1961




This 5CD box set is a must for jazz fans but All Blues is actually from the Miles Davis album Kind Of Blue and that is something that even newbies can get into. It's one of the all time classics of jazz. Davis & Coltrane have tremendous chemistry as the box set illustrates. And Davis put together a killer band for Kind Of Blue. In addition to Miles Davis on trumpet & John Coltrane on tenor sax, there is Cannonball Adderley on alto sax, Bill Evans on piano, Paul Chambers on bass & Jimmy Cobb on drums. And the amazing thing is Kind Of Blue was completely improvised. Kind Of Blue is extraordinary music and one of the cornerstones of jazz.
