While we here at KOi definitely love food, it’s not the only thing we enjoy. From time to time, we’ll be throwing up things that we’re feeling at the moment, whether it be new clothing labels, music, artwork, or whatever is fresh and inspiring to us.

After a long week of work, with the July sun beating down on us, that late afternoon music listening session is so necessary sometimes. Today, I’ve been zoning out to Miles Davis. 1959′s Kind of Blue is considered by most jazz heads to be the greatest album of all time, and rightly so. The subtle, brilliant trumpet interludes by Miles blend perfectly with his band, a collection of some of the greatest jazz musicians of the 20th century, among them a young John Coltrane. Mellow, relaxing, intricate perfection.

Some iced tea, a book, a shaded porch and some Miles Davis. Does it get any better than that?
