Music: "Kind of Blue" -- Kind of "Wasn't a Big Thing"
Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue," released in 1959, was officially 50 years old last month. Below, CNN talks to the only surviving member of that sextet, drummer Jimmy Cobb. Like with Dylan on June 15, 1965, Cobb says as they all filed in on March 2, 1959, of course, no one thought that they were about to record the greatest album in the history of recorded music.
The doc below came out with the September 30, 2008 release of the three-disc box set 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition:
I've always thought there are albums you get and there are those albums that get you. "Kind of Blue" belongs to the later.
