Miles Dewey Davis III (May 26, 1926 – September 28, 1991) was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, and composer. He is among the most influential and acclaimed figures in the history of jazz and 20th-century music.

Kind of Blue was recorded on March 2 and April 22, 1959, at Columbia’s 30^th Street Studio in New York City, and released on August 17 of that year by Columbia Records.

Kind of Blue has been regarded by many critics as the greatest jazz record, Davis's masterpiece, and one of the best albums of all time. Its influence on music, including jazz, rock, and classical genres, has led writers to also deem it one of the most influential albums ever recorded.

His album was one of fifty recordings chosen in 2002 by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry, and in 2003 it was ranked number 12 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

In 2019, it was certified Quintuple Platinum by the  Recording Industry Association of America  (RIAA) for shipments of over five million copies.
