Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"


Is it just me...or is the recording of this session overhyped...I agree it is a great performance...but "Birth of the Cool" and others are superior in my mind...any thoughts?

I don't think KOB is overhyped if considered in the context of when it was released and what it meant to the evolution of jazz. Nor do I think it is overrated - it is a great and, and in places, a very complex compilation.

Yes, there are other jazz LP's, even other Miles LP's, that I might thorw on the platter first. That doesn't make it less important or less enjoyable in its own right.
