I went shopping with a friend of mine to get a birthday present for yet another friend. We went to Best Buy, and while browsing through the music section, I saw Miles Davis' Kind of Blue for ten bucks.
Should I get it? I thought about it, we left and got some presents, laughed at the crappy speakers they had, and then before we went to the cash register, I said screw it and picked a copy up. Just $9.99, what's there to lose.
I've never been a fan of jazz -- not that I didn't like it, I just had never really listened to it.
Needless to say, from the first bar of music on "So What" (aside from the annoying hiss), I was just blown away. This is some of the best music I have ever heard -- I like it even more than Floyd and Zeppelin. Wow.
If you haven't heard this CD and appreciate fine classical music but don't know jazz, listen -- it's just so damn great.
