I wanted everyone to take a minute to remember one of the greatest jazz albums that was released 50 years ago. Kind of Blue featured a group of the best jazz musicians the world has ever known. Led by the great Miles Davis the band also included Cannonball Adderley on alto sax, John Coltrane on tenor, Bill Evans on keys, Paul Chambers on bass, Jimmy Cobb on drums, and Wynton Kelly playing piano on the famous "Freddie Freeloader." Some of the other great tracks off the album include "All Blues," "So What," "Blue in Green," and "Flamenco Sketches." Not that anyone cares but as a tribute to the great album, the AU Big Band will be performing a collection of songs off the album for the Spring 2009 concert. I happen to be taking Jimmy Cobb's position on drums so if anyone is interested look out for our performance at the end of the semester.
