Miles Davis: Kind of Blue      (1 of 3 found this review helpful)
  February 20, 2009

What does one say about the most famous jazz album ever recorded. Only that now it's released on sacd and sounds fantastic. There might not be a better jazz album in all the world that you can listen to in the dark with a set of head phones on. Yes there is a little bit of tape hiss here and there ... more

  February 17, 2009

Mr. Kazuhito has his own particular style of playing. It's rythmic and quick at times and relaxed at other moments. The way he tunes his guitar or the make of said guitar will also influence how it sounds. Sony Classical has done a stellar job in this 2 sacd release by the artist. Recorded in pure ... more
