Meh, I think both albums are about on par with each other. A Love Supreme was Coltrane's Magnum Opus, while Kinda' Blue, according to Miles and the musicians involved was just another recording session. It was never thought that it was gonna' be a huge record. In all honesty I believe, and I'm not the first person to put this out there, that Kind of Blue is really a Bill Evans record with Miles' name and face on the cover. It's Evans that really holds down the fort for the whole album and it his signature ethereal playing style which gives the album it's magic. IMO There are definitely better Miles Davis albums.
