A classic!
Where does a mere mortal find words sufficient to comment upon an Immortal?
You said it. It's being enjoyed over 50 years after it was created, unlike much of the current pop music. It will probably be enjoyed in another 50 years.
What can be said about "The Man", that hasn't already been said! Hearing "Kind Of Blue", as an impressionable seventeen-year-old in 1967 - ironically the day Trane passed away if my memory is correct - irrevocably turned my head around musically.
The Beatles? I couldn't have cared less. I'd moved on to higher ground, crossed the proverbial Rubicon and like so many others, would never look back. Thankyou Miles and for the sweet lady who lent that album in blue vinyl!
