Miles Davis, Kind of Blue sessions, 1959

$720 ~~$1200~~ In stock

During the Kind of Blue sessions, Miles Davis provided his sextet with a schematic framework for the modal improvisations that would comprise the album. Though primarily a trumpet player, Davis used the piano as a compositional tool. This rare shot of Miles at the keys provides a candid insight into his working methods as well as a glimpse into the studio ambience that created one of the most atmospheric and influential albums of all-time.

The schematic framework notes on the back really brought those modal improvisations to life for me. It’s like seeing the blueprint behind the magic.

The framing around the sextet’s rehearsal gives this print real depth, almost like you can feel the band working through the modal sketches. It’s hung in my study and the black-and-white tones match the room’s mood perfectly. I keep catching myself staring at it instead of working.

The print captures Miles hunched over a piano sketch, which really shows how the Kind of Blue framework came together. It arrived well-packaged and the paper quality feels substantial, making it a great addition to my music room.
