Something for you Jazz fans
Miles Davis classic "Kind of Blue" still kicking at 50
NEW YORK (Reuters) - As record albums go, Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" may not by the biggest seller of all time, but it has influenced generations of jazz and other musicians and is about to celebrate its 50th birthday. The record has sold more than three million copies since its 1959 release and was named No. 12 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time in any genre, let alone jazz. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081001/music_nm/us_miles_4

It's in my frequent rotation on the home carousel, I've tossed several
cuts onto my compilation discs, and it remains amazing to me! It was my first "jazz" buy as a kid back about '60...amazing disc, imo. BR,mD
