#31 Miles Davis, 'Kind of Blue' (1959)

This is one of my all-time favourite records. This is album that I always recommend to people looking to dip their toe into Jazz. It’s widely regarded as the highest-selling Jazz release of all-time, and for good reason, it’s just so good. It’s intelligent, it’s easy to listen to and it’s timeless. At the same time, the music transports you to a smoky New York bar at the end of the ‘50s.
