Miles Davis Kind of Blue In the liner notes to Kind of Blue, pianist Bill Evan (who plays piano on the album) compares the music to a spontaneous and disciplined form of Japanese visual art. The simplicity and minimalist touch of this landmark recording are perhaps what allow the musicians to paint pristine pictures and achieve such a meditative and contemplative mood. Each member of the group comes from a different musical background, and yet the result is a unified work of beauty that every jazz musician or listener must own.		Freddie Hubbard Open Sesame (Blue Note) Freddie Hubbard’s searing lines and juggernaut sound have made him the model after which most trumpet players shape their approaches to the instrument. Soulful and groove-oriented, this early Hubbard recording is the door through which his fiery playing burst into jazz.
