bookman Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Costco is selling this Davis best seller in a new format. The disc is two sided. Side one is a standard CD. Side two is a DVD. Part of side two is the album done in stunning 5.1 audio. I've never heard this cut sound better in any format. A/B with the CD side is revealing. The 5.1 gives you a very open spacious stage. The clarity of the horns, played thru my Klipsch heritage system is real. The rest of the DVD is a 25 minute documentary and interview session with various musicians about the music,which helps me appreciate the work. The price is $12.99. Hurry.

Born2RockU Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 You want to hear the best version? Check out a mono 6-eye original LP!! Allan: How would you describe the drummers role on the album? Is it aggressive, ...passive,...mellow, etc ? Also, whom is the drummer on this recording ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookman Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 There is one drummer on this recording. His name is Jimmy Cobb. The drummer is mellow as is this music. The remaster is on the Columbia label. Thru 2004 Kind Of Blue has sold Ten million copies worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthfreek Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 He's just talking about the DualDisc release of this. You can get this at Wal-Mart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_L Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I believe Kind of Blue is the number one selling jazz album in the world. I always recommend it to people looking for a place to start on the journey into jazz. It's a Desert Island keeper for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
