Mostly Other People Do the Killing have re-created Kind of Blue on a new note-for-note version to be released next month.

Simply called Blue it’s long in the making, tackling one of the greatest musical achievements of the 20th century in such a fastidious manner, no idle undertaking. Listening to just one track so far, an uncannily authentic quite beautiful take on ‘All Blues’ (needless to say a beautiful piece of music) inescapably the temptation is not so much as yielding to a Milesian shrug, a “so what” conveniently enough, but more: why on earth do this at all?
