Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz may sing about wanting to be Bob Dylan, but he's really a huge Miles Davis fan. He waxes about his favorite album by the jazz giant -- 1959's "Kind of Blue."
Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz may sing about wanting to be Bob Dylan, but he's really a huge Miles Davis fan. He waxes about his favorite album by the jazz giant -- 1959's "Kind of Blue."
"He was inventing modal jazz. Forgetting the technical part, it was an extraordinarily beautiful, passionate record. The songwriting on it and the way he would convert other people's songs are splendid. Having Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane and Miles Davis in a band together, it's amazing. Every time it switches instruments for a solo, it's mind-boggling and mind-bogglingly different. It's unreal that way. [The musicians] are so in tune with each other. I think that's probably the best album ever made."
