Kind of Blue was recorded on March 2nd and April 22nd at Columbia Records in NYC, and released on August 17, 1959. It has appeared in every format of recorded music known to man, and is the best-selling jazz recording of all time.
To some, KOB is a hot button topic, almost as likely to cause serious debate and teeth-gnashing as a conversation involving Wynton Marsalis or Kenny G.
