Richard Littler65 years old (released on this day in 1959). One of the finest albums ever committed to recording tape. Some kind of inexplicable sorcery took place in this session, that even the players hadn't planned or expected. Lightning in a bottle, etc.
Piers Cawley@Richard_Littler I remember some Channel 4 thing in the nineties or early noughties doing the '100 best albums as voted by the public' things. As they counted down from 100 there was basically no jazz at all until suddenly, somewhere in the top 10, up pops Kind of Blue, because of course it did.
Seems jazzers can't agree on anything except for the sheer brilliance of Kind of Blue.
