[Jazz & Song] Davis, Miles. (1926–1991). Kind of Blue - SIGNED. Exceedingly rare signed copy of what is widely regarded to be the greatest jazz album of all time. 'Kind of Blue' album signed and inscribed on the back cover in blue ballpoint, “To Leo, Miles Davis, thank you,” and “Best wishes, Jimmie Cobb, July 3rd 1960.” In fine condition, with partial separation to top edge, light uniform toning to back cover, and scattered wear to front cover. The record is included. Columbia - CL 1355. The signatures obtained at the old "Blackhawk" jazz club in San Francisco, where the original owner's father had approached Miles at the bar before the second set.
Miles Davis was notoriously prickly and a generally reluctant autograph signer. Though authentic autograph signatures and (mostly late in life) signed photographs are obtainable, with regards to the present signed copy of Davis's greatest masterpiece, noted jazz collector and dealer Larry Rafferty has noted that in his 40+ years of collecting jazz autographs, this is "absolutely the only copy I have ever seen -- or heard of." Our research further confirms that no signed copies have appeared at auction or in trade catalogues known to us and that this is apparently the only authentically signed copy presently known to exist.
The best-selling jazz record of all time is universally acknowledged as a masterpiece, revered as much by rock and classical music fans as by jazz lovers. Kind of Blue brought together seven now-legendary musicians in the prime of their careers: tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, alto saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, pianists Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Jimmy Cobb and, of course, trumpeter Miles Davis. To the musicians who recorded it, Kind of Blue was just another session when it was released in August, 1959. But the disc was quickly recognized by the jazz community as a classic. Jazz musicians were startled by the truly different sound on an album that laid out a clear roadmap for further modal explorations. "So What" became the tune, the one that every musician -- not just the practitioners of jazz -- simply had to know. The other tracks also quickly became standards and the individual solos throughout the record continue to inspire musicians to this day. Drummer Jimmy Cobb puts it all down to simplicity -- the reason Kind of Blue has remained so successful for so long. And because of its inherent balance, historian Dan Morgenstern adds, the album never wears out its welcome.
