Listener Jonathan returns to the podcast (as all Supporters are welcome to do) to take an in-depth review of perhaps the most influential jazz album of all time: Miles Davis’s 1959 masterpiece “Kind of Blue.”

What’s the story?

What makes this recording so groundbreaking and so influential? 

What is modal music?

What does the track-by-track analysis reveal?

What are the connections to yacht rock?
