Interpretation

There is no track titled "Kind of Blue" on the album of the same name — the five tracks are So What, Freddie Freeloader, Blue in Green, All Blues, and Flamenco Sketches. I've written an interpretation for what "Kind of Blue" evokes as a sonic identity (the second entry below) in case that's useful, but let me know if you'd prefer to swap it for a different Miles Davis track.
