Miles Davis won eight Grammy Awards and received thirty-two nominations. His album Kind of Blue is regarded by many critics as Davis's masterpiece, the greatest jazz album ever recorded, and one of the greatest albums of all time. Its impact on music, including jazz, rock, and classical music, has led writers to also deem it one of the most influential albums ever made. The album was one of fifty recordings chosen in 2002 by the Library of Congress for the inaugural year of the National Recording Registry, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". In 2003, it was ranked number 12 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", repositioned to number 31 in the 2020 revision. In 2019, Kind of Blue was certified 5× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of at least five million copies in the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kind_of_Blue Larry McDonough Quintet performances of the music of Miles Davis has filled the Dakota and other clubs throughout the Twin Cities.
