Experience Miles Davis’ legendary album Kind of Blue played in full by six of Ireland’s leading Jazz musicians.

When Miles Davis released Kind of Blue in 1959, it marked a legendary moment in jazz history. It transformed the way musicians approached improvisation, shifting from complex chord progressions to a more open, melodic style known as modal jazz.
