Sixty years ago, In 1959, I was a senior in high school. My friend, Bob Nalley, bought this record in the only record store in town. I visited him almost daily. Every time I went over, this record was playing. It became a sort of anthem for that time. We joked that the school should have played it at our graduation.
Age, I'm right there with you, my favorite ballad of all time. Been listening to this tune since I was a kid, my 2 late older brothers ❤️ raised me on this music 🎶
In my last break up, I listened to this song for hours while walking around the lower east side of Manhattan NY; the song still would play in my head repeatedly afterwards
It's funny reading the comments here. To me growing up poor, black and in the projects of Brooklyn, NY, my parents were friends with Miles Davis (dad was a jazz saxophonist of the era though not famous but had famous friends and cohorts). This tune was always a celebration of rainy days, since staying in the house to hear it played on my dad's phonograph with the scratchy elements, soft brush strokes of drummer Jimmy Cobb and the beautiful piano of Bill Evans..And to this day, my photo at Sonny Rollins birthday party will always remind me of Mr. Paul Chambers, one of the bassists that died too young.
Carol, as I read your story, you are rich with a history and love of music no one can ever take away. Listening to your dad play his soul of music helped create what you love today. Share that gorgeousness with the world!
Exactly. Same for me. I think miles is way too loud in the mix. Too shrill. The combination was great though. They recorded this album in i think 2.days. Many first takes.
@@TheHotfreaks naw I think Miles' trumpet was perfect. It's quite "in your face" especially his shrill enter in the track, but I think it's very expressive nonetheless
This seems like the kind of music that can't be written, it needs to be lived, played out. I don't know if that's the case, but it sure feels like a mood, a moment in time.
Bill Evans wrote this tune. Miles was 'the spark', 'the instigator'. He gave Bill a piece of paper w/ two chords symbols; Gm and A+ .and asked: 'What would you do with that?' Bill took it home and the next day he brought in 'Blue In Green'.
@@froogmaster7869 That I didn't know. Funny because Miles has accused others of being 'greedy' and 'jealous' of his success. Bill Evans has also stated that 'Nardis' is another tune he wrote and that Miles also appropriated himself of, registering it in his own name. Duke Ellington also appears to have gotten composer credit on many tunes that were actually written by Billy Strayhorn.
@@tiluriso Yeah, I love a lot of miles work, but he is greedy and later on in the 80s he gave up on jazz and said it was dead, and that I cannot respect.
It reminds of my dad. He used to listen to jazz every saturday drinking his beer. I was a teenager and there I was sitting in the living room listening to his stories of when he was in the army.
. “Bill would say something and Miles would tell him, ‘Man, cool it. We don’t want no white opinions.’ A shame miles Davis projected much of the racism he received towards Bill Evans
@@one_man_community “Miles used to mess with him. Not about his music or anything-he just used to call him ‘whitey’,” Adderley reported. Cobb also witnessed Davis teasing Evans. “Bill would say something and Miles would tell him, ‘Man, cool it. We don’t want no white opinions.’ They were close but Miles would just fool with him. It was good-hearted.” It's less openly cruel when you read it in context, though still unfortunate that the racial dynamic had to be there at all...
To me, this is perfection. Timeless perfection. Each artist in this song had a role, and from then on it led their own creation. Thank you to every artist in this recording for creating a masterpiece. Truly.
Cold winter evening, the smell of dark roast coffee in a dimly lit cafe and the ghost memories of you happy in another point in time with someone who will never cross paths with you again. Oh boy this one speaks to me deeply... nostalgia and melancholy.
Exactly this. No matter when you revisit it, after the first time, it's like coming home. No matter how much you've grown and learned and experienced, no matter how much you understand.... this piece in particular and this entire album, are like coming home. It's like entering the door of a familiar space, taking off your shoes, mixing up a stiff drink and sighing as you sink into the couch. It's like you're mom's cooking, or the joy of waking up on Christmas day to snow. It takes you back to the times you cherish, in the first lick. There are few songs that can transport you to that time, and even fewer that can take you to that time shared. Anyone who has felt this composition, immediately has a connection and a commonality. It cannot be stated enough just how much this song matters.
I want this to be the last music I hear before I close my eyes forever !! Just put Kind of Blue on a loop ... I'll die with a huge smile on my face !!!
Perhaps my favorite song, ever. Just so perfect and ethereal. Heavenly. Bill Evans playing on this is other-worldly. Miles should have given Evans a percentage just for that opening.
Can’t believe, if the rumors are true, that Bill Evans wrote this on one sitting at night after session with Miles. I think this is the most beautiful jazz tunes ever. Haven’t heard them all, but.. The way Bill uses his chords in this is a whole thing in itself.. those upper structure chords that just flow right to another, and of course when he plays, he is adding more harmony/chords that what is written out (well as almost always in jazz, at least reharmonization) and of course what a great outro/solo melodies on top of that.. what a unique mind.
I know we'll never meet but you have a sublime taste when it comes to Music. I mean I would love to meet someone like you and have a drink and listen and talk about Music. Cheers !!!
My favorite tune from Kind of Blue. My eternal respects to Mr. Evans, that piano all over the song was mesmerizing but particularly the outro. The sax from Coltrane was also so elegant, so "tidy". Beautiful song.
I grew up with this Lovely music! Brings me back home with my Beautiful Parents that have since passed. We’re from New York! This hits home and my home and my Heart 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
I can relate to that. I grew up with jazz at home. My dad used to listen to jazz every Saturday and I was there sitting next to him enjoying those gems. Those were the days.
This makes me feel like I'm holding a soggy bouquet of flowers on a sidewalk in a nighttime new york rain, realizing she isn't coming. Edit: Thanks for all the kind words, but this never really happened to me. It just wanted to portray a feeling this beautiful music gives me when I listen to it.
+ BA Hawks14 In that case, you should definitely watch the French film Ascenseur pour l'échafaud / Elevator to the Gallows (1958), which has a great film score by Miles Davis!
Lots of things have come and gone, but this song remains a constant for me. It’s always there to remind me that’s it’s ok to be sad, sometimes it can be beautiful.

This quintet/sextet. Miles's towering genius. That precise moment in time. My lord, artistry at its pinnacle. The stuff of gods and angels. What a gift to humanity.
this is the first jazz album I ever bought. I had no clue who Miles Davis was or anyone else on this record. It simply was the title of the album that intrigued me. Something about "Kind of Blue" spoke to me. I had never really listened to jazz. I remember just putting this on and from So What to all the other tracks I just thought wow I never knew music could be "this" like most I grew up on pop music and the radio. This album led to a love of jazz for the past (wow!) probably 30 years now. Bill Evans has become my ultimate go to guy for jazz. There is just something about him in that its sophisticated but also just so aesthetic. I will never "re-live" or be able to "hear" this record for the first time again but that memory is deep inside my psyche. It was simply the day I started to understand that music could be so many things.
I was listening to Elvis Presley. One day a kid came by and put on a Dave Brubeck record. Boom! Soon I was bringing home Miles Davis recordings, adding them to my Brubeck holdings. One might call it magic; it's an ever-evolving Creation from which we learn gratitude.
It's so weird yet beautiful how we all contacted with each other.. and sometimes with out us knowing that we are.. Its just in the air, in your eyes, skins, minds, so weird yet beautiful..
J’écoute dans cette soirée de fin d’été, les airs merveilleusement mélancoliques de Miles Davis . Par sa trompette, il crée tout un univers composé de langueurs et de sérénité . Cela m’apaise et me détend. Génie superbe !
I always listen to this song on my birthday 8.17 . The same day this album was released. I definitely have such a huge spot in my heart for good melancholy jazz that reminds me of noir scenery
It's 1973, you're sitting in a corner of a smoky pub in the damp streets of Chicago. Its midnight, but still, dim lights and the scent of oak set the mood for this day till dawn. A cold cup in hand, foam streaming down, and you lay there, in that timber rocking chair cradled by the sound of delicate cymbals and soft, dreamy notes from the piano. The most beautiful jazz...
a while back, i used to listen to Kind of Blue every day for about a year, and i am still mesmerized by each and every track from the album, every time i listen. timeless classics.
The sound that miles’ trumpet makes here is the kind that plays in your head for the rest of your life. For a young musician, it sets a high water mark of excellence and beauty in its most elegant form.
This is what you listen too sitting by the fireplace with the fire going, sipping on a little something-something, while a gentle rain is falling and forgetting what all is going on in the world...play on Miles...play on!!!!
The story goes that Cannonball admiringly perplexed with Coltranes playing asked him what he was doing. Coltrane said, ' it's just the blues'. Cannonball replied, ' Well I ain't heard the blues like that before' Timeless recording.
This is the Bible of music. Don't look to the past. Don't look to the future. This is it. If you are a musician and can play every solo, note for note, on this record, you would be a great musician, but still only a carbon copy.
This song soothes me when I feel hopeless about what to do with my current relationship. Doesn't fix anything except put me in a better place but I'll take it. ❤

I didn’t know that Melancholy could Sound So Beautiful ! 🎹🎼💫⭐️
Good jazz is like an endless adventure for the mind.
Indeed.
Yes!!!
これにリリックを落とし込める舐達磨やば過ぎだろ！！！
I always listen to this song on my birthday 8.17 . The same day this album was released. I definitely have such a huge spot in my heart for good melancholy jazz that reminds me of noir scenery
Ahhhhhh.... this sound... beautiful, innocent, painful... the sweet dreamlike memories... ugh... sigh... papa tu me manques.
It's 1973, you're sitting in a corner of a smoky pub in the damp streets of Chicago. Its midnight, but still, dim lights and the scent of oak set the mood for this day till dawn. A cold cup in hand, foam streaming down, and you lay there, in that timber rocking chair cradled by the sound of delicate cymbals and soft, dreamy notes from the piano. The most beautiful jazz...
Just write a book already

JAZZの、名盤中の名盤中の、名盤!🎉

Just when you though things couldn't get better, there comes Coltrane and his divine sax intervention
legend never dies, that's one of my favorite tune!!!
Never have I heard a song that brilliantly conveyed the pain the beauty,the love.
a while back, i used to listen to Kind of Blue every day for about a year, and i am still mesmerized by each and every track from the album, every time i listen. timeless classics.
I’m 25 years old , I be walking thru downtown Baltimore listening to this reminiscing about everything 💯
This song is doomer af
The sound that miles’ trumpet makes here is the kind that plays in your head for the rest of your life. For a young musician, it sets a high water mark of excellence and beauty in its most elegant form.
He's singing the blues there
This is what you listen too sitting by the fireplace with the fire going, sipping on a little something-something, while a gentle rain is falling and forgetting what all is going on in the world...play on Miles...play on!!!!
Sounds perfect. It’s what I’m doing now.
@@MiltonABolanos Except you’re replying to UA-cam comments instead of getting completely lost in the music.
@@MattSezer funny
Sounds perfect to me I have to say Miles Davis
Is greatest trumpeter
これに落としていくのはすごいわ
2年かかるのが納得
The story goes that Cannonball admiringly perplexed with Coltranes playing asked him what he was doing.
Coltrane said,
' it's just the blues'.
Cannonball replied,
' Well I ain't heard the blues like that before'
Timeless recording.
could listen to this all nite
This song. This song is what got me to fall in love with who will be my future wife. I will come back to refer to this comment.
Simply put...this is a perfect song.
This is the Bible of music. Don't look to the past. Don't look to the future. This is it. If you are a musician and can play every solo, note for note, on this record, you would be a great musician, but still only a carbon copy.
This song soothes me when I feel hopeless about what to do with my current relationship. Doesn't fix anything except put me in a better place but I'll take it. ❤

Miles Davis is a man who was given a miracle by God. He is a legend that cannot be erased by time.
