What an album!
Aside from the hubris of asserting something so bold in the first place, it can not too controversial of a take to state that "Blue in Green" is the finest musical recording ever produced. If I had one, single song to take with me to a desert island, this is the one. The bowed bass at the end gives me chills every time.
- heleninboodler 3y agoI think there are several other tracks on the album tied for this same distinction. :)
- vjulian 3y agoOh—it’s not only me! I just commented on Blue in Green. Outside of that, the album overall has an association for me. I started buying jazz records in my teens in the 80s. No one guided my listening or made recommendations. I eventually came upon Kind of Blue and felt it was special. I had no idea how famous and well-loved it was. I find it interesting that even in a “blind taste test”, I converged with the critical massess.
- Tycho 3y agoSomeone posted a website to HN a year ago which took a track as input and then returned you a list of similar tracks based on the sonic qualities. I tried it with Blue in Green and it actually did supply a list of tonally, harmonically, musically similar tracks. None were as good, of course, but still it was good to get more of the same vibe.
