What about Live Evil and Jack Johnson?

Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage

Tomasz Stanko Quintet - Soul Of Things (lots of trumpet)

Lloyd McNeill - Asha (lots of flute)

Didn’t you mention Jimmy Giuffre recently?

You bring attention to cool out the box stuff.

This reminds me of Tutu, how he took that stylistic 80's sound and made it his own.

10/10 for the historical importance of the album. 6/10 for my personal listening enjoyment. I'll split the difference and give it an 8/10. It's a superbly played, well produced, and pleasant enough recording but, to me, Kind of Blue is kind of boring.

Thanks. I watched and read both.

I find this album to be slow and kind of boring. The music is good, but nothing to exciting in a modern context. 6/10. Though when I take into consideration the influence and change this album brought I have to give it another point. 7/10

Current average: 7.85

Spun a brand new vinyl copy today. I'd forgotten how good it is. Easy 10/10.
