Should the question for the most famous of all jazz albums ever be asked on the show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire", this Miles Davis album from 1959 is a sure candidate. Whole books have been written about "Kind Of Blue" and what other album exists in so many editions? The band hadn't played through a single one of the tracks before Davis asked them into the studio while recording was in progress. Perhaps jazz heavyweights like John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb didn't have to, because Kind Of Blue became a classic that way, too. Davis, on the other hand, remained true to his reputation as an eccentric and called the album a failure.

Mobile Fidelity had announced this title for a long time, but the release had to be postponed again and again, because the licensor Columbia Records, today a part of Sony Music, was not able to find the right tape. There are apparently dozens of tape copies. With the right master in their hands, Shawn R. Britton and Rob LoVerde then went to work together. They used the newly upgraded DSD system in Sebastopol to make everything possible for the edit. Sonically, the album now has a grace and yet compelling definiteness to each sound that has not been heard before. There is analog tape noise and at the same time a presence of the musicians that previous releases simply did not achieve.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" CD/DVD conditioner for even more sonic improvement.
