Schapiro 17 - New Shoes: Kind Of Blue At 60

Facts It's not quite right to say that New Shoes features arrangements of the five songs on Miles Davis' landmark album Kind of Blue. They are more like entirely new compositions, which happen to take the Miles material as a starting point. Schapiro translates the lean sound of the sextet... into the wide-screen colors of a jazz ensemble in the tradition of the Ellington and Basie bands.
