‘Kind Of Blue’ Box Set Marks 50 Years Of Miles Davis

There’s a reason Miles Davis’ 1959 album Kind of Blue is the one jazz album found in the collections of people who don’t own any other jazz albums—it’s very dope, and very accessible. Now all those folks are going to have to pick up a recently released box set celebrating Blue’s 50th anniversary.
Released on Columbia/Legacy Recordings, Kind of Blue: 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition redefines the phrase “lavish box set”: it includes a 180-gram blue vinyl LP, two CDs (the original album plus more recordings from Miles’ classic John Coltrane/Cannonball Adderley sextet), a DVD documentary, a 60-page coffee table book and more cool stuff too numerous to mention. Retailing for $109.99, the set is perfect for jazz lovers—or those just pretending to be. Check out a couple exclusive photos from the set below…
