It's gone 3am in Oxford UK and I'm awake, imagining a guy driving a bus round Reykjavik, listening to Miles. Driving must be smooth. Kind of like the start of Taxi Driver, lights outside, red, white, all that vibe. If only I smoked I could go a joint right now . . .
I bought this album in about 1970 and 17 years later my eldest son came home from university and said that you gotta listen to this. It was the same album the same cover the same everything. And I’m still listening to it and it is now 2023
been on this album for nearly 40 years...was turned onto it by an older woman and never looked back. Its been a constant feature of my life that never gets old, ever..
When I purchased this album the clerk said, "This album will change your life!". I did not pay much attention to what he said... He then reached across the counter and grabbed my arm and said, "Man, THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE!" I will always remember that encounter.

Jazz and Blues gave concentrations and joy as student in 80s. I played them in my room when studying or designing and changed to Walkman when in the library. That was another level then.
I've quit smoking cigarettes some months ago ahah but sometimes, an Espresso and an handmade Tuscan cigar is essential while listening jazz music :) I recommend it
Update: I couldn't find Kind Of Blue as a single album, so I bought a three CD five album package for £4.99. The best fiver I've spent in years. It includes Porgy and Bess and Sketches Of Spain. I looked for Gerry Mulligans Night Lights CD but HMV didn't have it, so I'll order it. I'm glad I've heard this cool jazz to go with all the music I've ever liked.
Its never too late to discover excellent music.I hope you get to enjoy this next 40 years ,so you can grasp the deep emotions I still feel after 4 decades of one of the most important jazz albums ever made.Come to think of what I just said that's baloney , the first time I was blown away it only grows deeper over time.
Hi I’m from Ethiopia . I’m painting and the part I painted with Miles playing is much more beautiful and much more sophisticated because his music allowed me not to feel stress and pressure pushes me to execute with surgical precision , I find myself being in the band with them all but my part is to be played with colors and brushes . Mr Miles makes it so that I let go of my inhibitions and fears and create freely !true Creation happens in a state of relaxation ! Listen now ! Imagine who miles got inspired by ? The energy of inspiration goes on and on until the end of time . Inspiration never dies go ahead make your inspired art and share it . That’s how we never die and touch the ultimate essence of eternity and Life . Miles lives in my painting and in your every action if you were lucky enough to enhance your life with his music . Brook zerai is the name , my painting will reach you if I let my inspiration go where Miles wants it to Go
I was a police officer with the honolulu police dept......i had ruined my reputation due to drug use and crazy shit i had done off duty.,....i went to bed every day at 7 pm and woke up at 12 midnight and could not go back to sleep due to being so despondent.....at around 4 am i would get in my truck driving around and buy some coffee and donuts listening to this tape every morning before i started work at 6 am....i was as close to suicide as u could get....i quit and moved to the mainland and rebuilt my life....i can now listen to this record again and not feel bad.....it reminds of how lucky i am now.....
We had this tape in one restaurant that I used to work at. A side 90 minutes TDK cassette. By The time that we were closing I used to dim The lights and turn The volume just a little bit higher and enjoy IT after a bussy night. That was around, 1997, 1998. Enjoying IT still now days. Miles rules.
I hardly ever comment on you tube. But just finished listening to to it. I can't claim to know anything about music. Never even heard of this guy before. But that was beautiful. It got me deep down inside. Not sure what. Maybe people who know more can tell me. It was a joy. I am going to listen to it again right now.
It's 2 a.m., you're sitting in the dark in your lounge, city lights slanting through half-open venetians, rain pattering against the window and a nice tumbler of whiskey in your fist....this for me is Kind of Blue, this is when to listen to it and feel the worries of the world fall away from you.
“I’m thinking of you more than ever. It’s raining today and rainy Sundays are horrible for me. When it’s raining I can’t laundry and so I can’t iron my clothes. I can’t take a walk and I can’t lie down on the terrace. All that’s left for me to do is to endlessly listen to Kind of Blue and watch the rain outside the window.” “Norwegian forest” - page 264
Released the year I was born. Dad had it so it was probably the first recorded music I heard. I'm still listening 62 years later. Amazing to think how old it is. When it reaches its centenary people will still be listening to it.
There's nothing to say about this astonishing album that hasn't already been said. In 2020 we need this musical masterpiece more than ever. Stay Safe guy's.
I feel like it is a gloomy day in New York city but I am sitting down at a high class cafe with an enormous chandelier hanging over my head . I love that this music has the power to transport me, amazing music to listen to while studying or just anytime .
+Papy Jacky - Oui, cher monsieur, c'est vraiment vrai. Mon premier 78 tours a été Saint Louis blues, de Armstrong, acheté en 1952 quand j'avais 14 ans. Après j'ai entendu à la V.O.A. le programme de Willis Conover, presque chaque soirée (une fois à 20 h), qui est devenu mon étoile comète pour apprendre et, depuis lors, de Armstrong, Jelly Roll, Beiderbecke, etc., je suis arrivé à Parker, à les quartets de Mulligan et de Brubeck, au MJQ et à beaucoup d'autres. Enfin à le Miles Davis de Bags Groove avec Monk et Milt Jackson, le meilleur Miles Davis. Après ces chefs d'oeuvre, pour moi, c'est impossible écouter Davis. Je pense que pour connaître et comprendre le jazz il faut commencer des origines. Merci.
Heard this album at the age of 3, my dad was quite into this and so was I. Learned to play chess from my dad while listening to the record, learned to appreciate good whisky at a later stage. A life changer indeed😊 After my dad passed away I received the original album, every time I play it it reminds me of the good vibes my dad shared with me! Bought a UHQR version recently and oh man what a joy this turned out to be.
One of the greatest jazz albums of the 20th century and its timeless beauty will live on forever. The silky smoothness of the wonderful dulcet music is making my lockdown Sunday a very relaxed one and worry free while I sit in my garden with a topped up tall glass and revel in the splendour of Miles Davis. Cheers everyone and stay cool :o)
Loved this record from the first time I heard it nearly 50 years ago (yes, even I was young once!). Now listening to it in retirement, lazy afternoon with a cup of coffee to hand, and my little lovebirds, one asleep and the other singing away to the high notes. Hip bird!
I listened to "Miles Davis's kind of blue" after Autumn Leaves. I learned later that such a great performance. And the performance that does not fade even now. Fresh no matter how many times you listen. It will be an eternal masterpiece.
You don't have to be a jazz nut to appreciate this masterpiece. If you know music then you know this track is so easy and underestimated. But if you really listen you start to understand that the musicality is something special. Something you've never heard before. Then you realise something special was going on here.❤

This album is so great that it can be considered a cornerstone album not only for jazz but music in general. Every artist should strive to make something this great, something that transcends generations I’m only 34 and my children and their children will know who Miles Davis is. Lastly it goes without saying that Miles would have never pulled this off without the support of the guys he had in his band he only had the greats Cannonball, Coltrane, Evans and company. Jazz was in its golden generation at that time this album was recorded.
I recently discovered Miles. I started listening to jazz through Horace Silver, Coltrane and Oscar Peterson. Maybe because of his popularity, I Had been avoiding Miles until a musician friend, a jazz drummer From Amsterdam explained to me that Miles was a Romanticist. Something clicked in my head and From that time one I really admire him and my musicality Is boosted by combining jazz and opera and classical Music. Such An elevation and life changing moment when I realized I couldn t live without Music.
This album reminds me of the time I was taking a coach trip to Disneyland Paris. I was listening to it on ear buds, it was quite late and other people on the coach were asleep. One of my best friends next to me said, "All I can hear is squeaky trumpet, it's really annoying." Cool story I know...
This was the first LP I bought as a teenager. The simplicity of the melody, the modal changes and all those brilliant contrasting solos in So What. A total master piece.
Discovered at 18, that first cymbal still resonate in my minds and gives me chills on my skin, what sound they was able to record at that time, and the guy playing nice instead of trying covering the other ones, and the master, Miles !
In modal jazz the general harmonic structure / framework revolves around scales (or modes) instead of chords. The chords in the background are based on the mode and are almost like an afterthought - the improvised melodies and the chords both revolve and are built open the modes. The difference can be sort of subtle because you can also think that if you define the tune through chords, you can of course define the right scales / modes for each chord as well, but it is a matter of which "comes first conceptually" and "which structure is the defining factor". In modal jazz the chords in the tune can often be quite simplistic and "stay the same" for a long time, leaving room for strong exploration of the mode in question.
The Jazz and Blues were art of my concentrations as a student in late 70s and 80s. The powers in them took people that understands to another level in their careers. God bless the old school artists which Miles Davis was one of them.
60 years old today, and it still sounds as great as the first time I heard this classic jazz album. Track list: Side one 01. 00:00:00 - So What 02. 00:09:12 - Freddie Freeloader 03. 00:18:47 - Blue in Green Side two 01. 00:24:15 - All Blues 02. 00:35:55 - Flamenco Sketches Personnel (per the liner notes): Miles Davis - trumpet Julian "Cannonball" Adderley - alto saxophone (except on "Blue in Green") John Coltrane - tenor saxophone Bill Evans - piano (except on "Freddie Freeloader") Wynton Kelly - piano (on "Freddie Freeloader") Paul Chambers - double bass Jimmy Cobb - drums
Daft Punk - Random Access Memories for the summer of 2013, and "Fever Ray" - Karin Dreijer Andersson's 2009 album for the winter. I also listen to much more instrumental/electronic/post-rock at night or in the winter. Hope it helps!
Its the atmosphere that it brings, the players who play here, very emotional and amazing players. Much like a 1 on 1 conversation you would have with your best friend... Also its called Kind of Blue... I feel the bluest when im alone and its night time.
Also how i got into jazz. Heard that this was best the jazz album and Somethin Else was its companion piece. Best 1-2 combo of Miles davis and Cannonball.
Kind of Blue. When I have to work and Ive got writers block I put this on and then the flow begins. Always soothes me and makes me creative (usually at my laptop in Honor Oak Park in Lewisham in London)
A long hot bath, a snug warm robe and slippers, a cup of black coffee, a large comfortable clean bed, thick comforters, a good pictureless novel, a Do Not Disturb sign, and THIS. Heaven, become sinful :)
Track list: Side one 01. 00:00:00 - So What o2. 00:09:12 - Freddie Freeloader 03. 00:18:47 - Blue in Green Side two 04. 00:24:15 - All Blues 05. 00:35:55 - Flamenco Sketches : Musician personnel: Miles Davis - trumpet Julian "Cannonball" Adderley - alto saxophone (except on "Blue in Green") John Coltrane - tenor saxophone Bill Evans - piano (except on "Freddie Freeloader") Wynton Kelly - piano (on "Freddie Freeloader") Paul Chambers - double bass Jimmy Cobb - drums
The lines in Blue in Green are just so wistful. Reminiscent of a lonely night out on the street up to no good, drinking alone and waiting for the waking light of the morn. Beautiful stuff that I can't get my head around.
Thank you Miles and all the guys for the sheer beauty of it all. There is such consolation and delight in this incredible art, even on the darkest days you lift me,
The most famous musical album of Miles Davis, the Kind of Blue, which was released in 1959 by Columbia Records. Voted as a National Treasure by the House of Representatives in 2009 for the 50th anniversary.
What a sublime masterpiece.Miles on trompet Cannonball Adderley on altsax Bill Evans on piano also Wynton Kelly on piano Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums.It brings back memories.
I have never heard of you until today..I liked your name..you look like an artist..I clicked on your profile and was very pleasantly surprised that my instincts were right at the off!

This album reminds me of the time I was taking a coach trip to Disneyland Paris. I was listening to it on ear buds, it was quite late and other people on the coach were asleep. One of my best friends next to me said, "All I can hear is squeaky trumpet, it's really annoying." Cool story I know...
Now I got my boy, and I'm 33yo,start to listen more JAZZ,it helps me forget reality for a while~
This was the first LP I bought as a teenager. The simplicity of the melody, the modal changes and all those brilliant contrasting solos in So What. A total master piece.
So What. Big Deal.
Discovered at 18, that first cymbal still resonate in my minds and gives me chills on my skin, what sound they was able to record at that time, and the guy playing nice instead of trying covering the other ones, and the master, Miles !
Jazz is a conversation, not a fight.
Modal jazz just is the best and this album is the best of the best. These guys talk through their instruments, and man what a speech they are giving.
I agree with you.... Coltrane, too..
Sorry for my dumbness but can you explain what modal jazz is? Im new to jazz
In modal jazz the general harmonic structure / framework revolves around scales (or modes) instead of chords. The chords in the background are based on the mode and are almost like an afterthought - the improvised melodies and the chords both revolve and are built open the modes. The difference can be sort of subtle because you can also think that if you define the tune through chords, you can of course define the right scales / modes for each chord as well, but it is a matter of which "comes first conceptually" and "which structure is the defining factor". In modal jazz the chords in the tune can often be quite simplistic and "stay the same" for a long time, leaving room for strong exploration of the mode in question.
Celestial, can you give some names of tunes or albums of modal jazz?
I personally enjoy Maiden Voyage from Herbie Hancock quite a lot, another one to mention of the top of my head would be Coltrane's A Love Supreme
The Jazz and Blues were art of my concentrations as a student in late 70s and 80s. The powers in them took people that understands to another level in their careers. God bless the old school artists which Miles Davis was one of them.
Listen to this every time I write a paper, absolutely remarkable.
So beautiful! No one does it quite like miles!

My birth with jazz..almost 18 years ago! Still my favourite! I could sing every solo of every song of this LP! Thank Miles for such a gem!
It makes me cry....such beauty.
I am sitting on the train from Vienna to Bamberg, and the wonderful music helps the time pass with inspiration.
脳の緊張がとけて、なんだかいろんなことを思い出させてくれる、、不思議な曲。
心地よい❤
This album compliments wine drinking and cooking beautifully. This is my go-to when I'm feeling kind of blue.
I would also like to add this is one of my only cross-seasonal albums. Does anyone else have seasonal specific albums?
I find jazz goes best with the fall.
Daft Punk - Random Access Memories for the summer of 2013, and "Fever Ray" - Karin Dreijer Andersson's 2009 album for the winter. I also listen to much more instrumental/electronic/post-rock at night or in the winter.
Hope it helps!
Winter and whiskey album!
Good album for shaving, also. :)
False. I'm listening it while i'm drinking a big strong hoppy beer 😁
timeless!!! one of the albums you can listen to 100 years from now,and it will still be awesome
Listening to this masterpiece and remembering mornings in Paris in my twenties with love💜
💙😘😎🐊
I listen to this album and im immediately calm, i feel like a wave of clarity. It's actually crazy how whenever this album calls, I need the most
listening to this album in outer space without a suit, this album gives me oxygen.
Great comment. So true
Yes
J'écoute pas souvent du Jazz mais j'adore l'ambiance "film noir" qui se dégage de ces chansons. Un plaisir à écouter.
C'est vrai David, especialement Ascenseur pour l''echafaud
Everything is so effortless 🥁🎺🎹📯
Is it just me or there something very lonely about this album? It feels like being completely isolated in a crowded city.
Its the atmosphere that it brings, the players who play here, very emotional and amazing players.
Much like a 1 on 1 conversation you would have with your best friend...
Also its called Kind of Blue... I feel the bluest when im alone and its night time.
I feel like I'm in a club which actually has carpet.
Definitely. Bill Evans on piano conveys this, I think.
All the musicians are on top form for this album.
*****
is it john coltrane playing sax on the first track ?
On all the tracks.
I cant get enough of this album, it adds to my creativity.
Utter brilliance from start to finish. My life has been richer since I found this album. It found me I reckon.
I had an uncle…I knew this, every note, before I left school. Thanks uncle
Miles wprawia w błogi stan . Relaksuje i inspiruje. Mogę tego słuchać bez końca.
Astomishing album😊 A musical 🎶🎶🎶💜 delight 😊Thank you so much for sharing
Lost 1 half of my jazz virginty with this album,other being cannonball adderleys something else!the gods of music purchasing were kind to me that day
Thank you for saying that, I recently got Something Else and guess what I'm gonna be finally listening to the end now :D
Also how i got into jazz. Heard that this was best the jazz album and Somethin Else was its companion piece. Best 1-2 combo of Miles davis and Cannonball.
I have been Miles fans since 1968 when my Twins were born he is asome🎉🎉🎉🎉😂❤
discovered this treasure more than a decade ago..
i still wonder how anyone could come up w music like this...
and have it so perfectly executed..
Kind of Blue. When I have to work and Ive got writers block I put this on and then the flow begins. Always soothes me and makes me creative (usually at my laptop in Honor Oak Park in Lewisham in London)
So what have you written?
_Blog link please_
Verry good music i love!!!!! I can listening every DAYS!!!!!Thx you verry much for this lovely music.!!=)
A long hot bath, a snug warm robe and slippers, a cup of black coffee, a large comfortable clean bed, thick comforters, a good pictureless novel, a Do Not Disturb sign, and THIS.
Heaven, become sinful :)
What is a "picture less novel"? and don't say " a novel with no pictures" as you may as well just say " a novel".
When solitude feels precious 💜
Mat Mclean It could be a novel that used to have pictures. But they've all fallen out.
That's some description, you ought to be writing those novels.
Give it a shot sometime, see how you do.
@@euanelliott3613 You must think that all middleschoolers could be good novelists then.
Have a great weekend and nice music my friend.
Thank you Miles for getting me through a painful hang over 😆

Thanks for the layout

Magnifique Miles Davis et son orchestre merci
The lines in Blue in Green are just so wistful. Reminiscent of a lonely night out on the street up to no good, drinking alone and waiting for the waking light of the morn. Beautiful stuff that I can't get my head around.
Blue in green is my favourite piece out of this album.
Thank you Miles and all the guys for the sheer beauty of it all. There is such consolation and delight in this incredible art, even on the darkest days you lift me,
Listening to this through new years eve with all my friends and family away,
makes it so much more managable.
Happy new year, everyone.
This album is a work of GENIUS....
Absolutely amazing...
6am Algiers, my dog is next to me and the sun isn t up yet, coffee and cigarette, the bass is surrounding the living room like a warm hug
The most famous musical album of Miles Davis, the Kind of Blue, which was released in 1959 by Columbia Records.
Voted as a National Treasure by the House of Representatives in 2009 for the 50th anniversary.
the modulation used in this record is just superb. He pulls it off flawlessly.
I urge you to listen to this after smoking a joint. Incredible.
+Ben Buttigieg How about focus on the music and let it drug you instead of chemicals.
+Janne Jänkälä chemicals? haha its a plant
+Janne Jänkälä Nancy grace is that you?
+All the best FYI the active ingredient is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
+All the best Literally every single thing that exists is made of chemicals, including plants
What a sublime masterpiece.Miles on trompet Cannonball Adderley on altsax Bill Evans on piano also Wynton Kelly on piano Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums.It brings back memories.
Don’t forget john coltrane
First time I listen to this genre, and o my I'm in love
The perfect album. I could never feel tired of it. Cannonball Alderley expresses so much variety of feeling in his playing
I have never heard of you until today..I liked your name..you look like an artist..I clicked on your profile and was very pleasantly surprised that my instincts were right at the off!
I always get so flabbergasted when a female being expresses pertinent comments and appreciation for anything related to Afro-American music.
