I'm marking a 50th anniversary pretty soon too. This album was recorded the year I was born and is the best selling jazz album of all time. I don't think it was designed this way, but it also happens to be an "All Star" type of album featuring, besides Miles, notables such as John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly, Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly.
This was also a very influential album. After Kind of Blue, listen to The Allman Brothers In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. See if anything sounds a little familiar.
