The twenty-first album: #21 Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

I've had some mixed experiences with instrumental blues in the past. It's not always quite my kind of music. For this album, it worked a lot better - a better beat and more interesting sounds gave me a more interesting and appealing listening experience.

The downside is that it feels like it never quite goes anywhere. There isn't always a big difference between the tracks - I'm sure I could discern So What from Freddie Freeloader without giving it quite a bit more time. That luckily clears up a bit when the ballads come in - Blue In Green is incredibly touching and calming.
