Oh no no no! I bloody hate big band music (though I can listen to "In the mood" and "Moonlight serenade" but that's about it)

Concha Buika (Latin Jazz) and Jamie Cullum (Jazz-pop) maybe artists whose albums you might find enjoyable.
I'll consider checking those out

My recommendation would be Blues & Roots by Charles Mingus. It doesn't sound much like Kind of Blue but it's an album I really enjoy. It's very bluesy, which I think you'd enjoy, and course it was made by one of the most legendary composers/musicians in all of jazz so it's well worth a listen.




Also, you might be interested in A Love Supreme by John Coltrane. It's a great album that's more in the direction of Kind of Blue. In fact Coltrane was in Miles' band on Kind of Blue.

Thanks Jansz. I'll hop on those right away!
