Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: Miles Davis had already survived heroin addiction in the 1950s, rebuilding himself before making the record that became his cleanest statement.
2. Studio Lore: The band recorded with minimal rehearsal, using sketches instead of full charts, trusting elite musicians to create structure in real time.
3. Media Narrative: Kind Of Blue became the default “serious jazz” record, which is funny because its power comes from restraint, space, and refusing to sound difficult.
