I guess timeless is a notion bandied about too often in regards to art, but this album definitely embodies it. It's hard to define precisely what makes it such an enduring masterpiece. You can site all of the album's components: it's haunting use of minor chords and pared down structure, the perfect balance of tonal variation in it's solos, the exquisite way the compositions of Evans compliment Davis' own musical voice, and yet words still seem inadequate in defining it's essence. Best to just close your eyes and let it take you away.Anna Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214942350061920304noreply@blogger.com
