Slate has an excellent article by Fred Kaplan looking at the unique musical structure and creative circumstances around the creation of the best-selling jazz album of all time, Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue." This fluid and thorough integration of great writing and very specific musical quotations is exactly what people hoped for in a true "multi-media" experience, but it is still all-too-rare to see it so well executed.
