Doug,
I enjoyed the music registered in your language, but "Kind of Blue" didn't come
immediately to mind. Will have to listen to the track (& then the whole album) with your
text in front of my eyes.
In a different register, though also performed in 1959, I've been watching/listening to the
most striking scat singing I've ever encountered:
