![John Coltrane - Giant Steps (2020 Remaster) [Full Album]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xy_fxxj1mMY/mqdefault.jpg)
My dearly departed 17-year-old tuxedo cat Marvin seemed to love jazz and especially Miles. Every time I would play Davis, Marvin would come lay close to the speakers. On his last night, I played him "Kind of Blue" and its last song in particular here is dedicated to his loving memory.
Bless you and Marvin forever
1st of all sorry for your loss
2nd (sorry i couldn't resist) Marvin was definitely -A Hep Cat!
3rd My wife's cat was named Trane.......
...Mr. Marvin had taste...He spent this life with you...And he dug Miles...What a marvelous combination...He was your Gift...Pax...James Patrick Casey.
long live Marvin in your heart.
@@Fran2667307 Chasin' the Trane!
On a bad day, this makes me get out of bed spring clean, bathe and spoil myself with a self-love skincare routine, and cook myself a hearty meal. enjoy a glass of wine with a Viola Davis book, that grounds me and reminds me how blessed I am, indeed what a time to be alive
Make that day your every day
What?!?! This song does that??
@@GorbyP yes it does, thanks for bringing me back here
Can't believe it . . . but to each his own!
How blessed you truly are! Thanks for sharing this! 🤗
Me & my wife dance to this song in our living room in the dark all the time with nothing but the fireplace to give us light, to me you can't get more romantic than that!
I’ve listened to this song since I was a 16 year old. 11 years have passed and this song (or the alternate take I prefer) always sends me into a vivid daydream of dancing in a dark kitchen with a candlelit dinner. I haven’t found anyone to dance with yet. You’re living the dream! haha
I planned to play this recording on our wedding night, but sadly, my fiance passed away before we could marry. May she rest in peace.
@@SchuylerT.Colfax so sorry for your loss man
@@danielwillette3895 Thank you, Mr Willette.
@@SchuylerT.Colfax ¡Lo siento!. Qué cruel es la vida.
Makes me cry tears of joy and pain and then I’m back to normal again. Anybody else here in love with this song?
Heard this while watching the movie "Basquait"..... didn't know it, so did a little digging .... it is BEAUTIFUL......
Me❤
Very
This is high art. It sits nicely on the same shelf with Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Ingmar Bergman’s Wild Strawberry’s, Matisse’s paintings, and the works of Bach & Beethoven. Like those other works, this one will be enjoyed, studied, debated, and written about for centuries.
I like that!
Nice. But there may be no trace of us in thousands of years. Who knows. Time goes by too fast.
This was the only thing that made sense after my mom died. Some of the deepest music from anyone, ever!
Bill Evans composed the soul chords of this masterpiece, original song called "Peace Piece". More people should credit the genius of Bill.
By coincidence I just finished listening to Peace Piece before this came on, and initially thought it was replaying Bill.
Right on
Evans foi um grande compositor.
Didn't Miles beat him out of his royalties on one of his compositions for this album? I heard he gave him 500 dollars and took it for his own? SMH
I had listened to Peace Piece hundreds of times before I made the connection to Flamenco Sketches. Now I tell everyone who ever mentions either song :)
It's one of these pieces that plays in your head once in a while at random moments in your day and you just have to play it as soon as you get back home. Pure magic.
That is a very interesting observation - I recognise that...
Absolutely
Happened to me today, I finished work, had a beer and smoked a number and strolled through town to the bus stop observing people walking past with this in my headphones
this is my favourite Miles Davis song, along with "Freddie Freeloader" (also on this album)
An amazing comment. I find myself doing that too on memorable compositions.
The Legend
The Legacy
The Enigma
The Truth - *_Miles Davis - John Coltrane - Julian "Cannonball" Adderley - Bill Evans - Paul Chambers - Jimmy Cobb_* ...When Giants Walked the Earth...
This is the greatest jazz track of all time.
Carter Horsley severely underrated. It Should be a standard
@@mjutteau it is in my home.
So what?
That's a bold statement.
@@mjutteau Than it could also be the most unique. Joe Henderson, Mike Manieri (live) great but the original a totally inspired creation..
Listening to the rain, breathing mountain air and sipping a malt while listening to this. Life’s good.
It definitely has that winter rainy/snow type vibe to it
It sure does and its sweet harmony galore
Breathing mountain air and sipping bourbon here...heavenly!!
🖼 📱 😌 🏵 🎺 🎶 🥃 🏆
Listening to Flamenco sketches while enjoying and tasting a supreme Makers Mark on the Rocks ...better imposible ..kisses to all
Miles Davis killed it without a doubt but Coltrane was something else on this track
Read Miles’ autobiography if you haven’t. One of the very few times he addressed the audience was in Philadelphia, where Coltrane grew up. It was Trane’s last gig with the band and Miles told the audience how much of joy it had been to experience Trane for all the years they had played together. This album is as great an artistic achievement as any thing borne from the human mind. And heart.
i read this recently. great read. i believe miles really slowed john down musically
When one considers that music is often seen as the universal art, and that jazz is widely recognised as the height of music, and that this album is very possibly the best the genre has ever produced, I don’t think it’s an overstatement to assert that this is quite literally one of the finest pieces of art ever created; irrespective of culture, period or medium of artistic expression.
@JackT13 - you...are so spot on my friend...I agree!
Absolutely one of the finest pieces of Art! I play this song almost every night for my sons at bedtime. ❤
@@michaeldejesus5685 You are so on point ...raised my kids with a bit of jazz, classical & christian contemporary...my uncle was lead trumpeter of Duke Ellingtons band right before he passed...I cut my teeth on music like this, it's all my dad use to play. Wonderful thing you're doing for your children!
Y'all, your appreciation of this extraordinary music is inspirational. This is my first time to hear it. High creation indeed
4:50 Perhaps the smoothed sax lick is the history of music.
Just as my father did before me, I introduced my young 20 y.o. son to this tune through discussing the album Kind of Blue. Whether or not he would like this entire masterpiece never occured to me. He loved this just as I do. He mentioned to me that he listens to this particular tune while he studies. As a 20 y.o. in college in the late 70's, I prefered to listen to the album with a bottle of wine, a nice meal and the company of a beautiful friend. Which ever, when ever, how ever, whereever and whyever you listen/listened to this album, I know you very likely fell in love with it just as my son does after me and my father did before me. The tradition of generational musical enlightenment will continue!
That is a very nice story, Anthony...
It's in the blood!
Wondrous strong . Heyyyy man that is such a lovely comment it speaks volumes . Perhaps it's the heroism of this album . It's so introspective and emotive . Hoping you and your son are well today .
I couldn't have said it better myself.
This album, is the story of Coltrane, his existential crises, you can hear it in every of the solos. his struggle, pain and resignation. He's having a conversation with his two buddies, Miles and Cannonball. Miles is a pessimistic intellectual telling Coltrane, to just accept the world as it is. Cannon ball is telling him the same thing, but in a forget about everything and be happy. But Coltrane refuses to stop asking.
Natan Crisostomo interesting take on the music and the interaction between the 3 soloists
Man that is a hell of view on looking at it! Wow. I appreciate your take on this. I need to see a therapist.
most accurate description
it's great that the music can let your imagination run like this, but take a step back before writing your strange fiction on people you never knew. just listen and let that be.
Uh ,,,ok
I came to Miles Davis late, but thanks to him I fell in love with jazz.
I was also late to his music..but I really started to listen because of my late father loved his music.
I have to say Paul Chambers is doing some of the best bass playing ever recorded. His rythmic and harmonic detail just give every track a holy new atmosphere in my opinion. Wow
Yes!!!
At 2:03 you can become lost to everything around you without knowing that you are present.
John Coltrane was a master of spirituality and takes you on such a spiritual journey that you don't want to never come back to the present.
Simply a masterpiece!
Cannonball's solo is the closest thing we'll come to hearing God speak through a saxophone
Best solo in this music
It's the switch from Coltrane to Adderley that nails you up.
Poetry without words.
This song gave me comfort in times where it was nowhere to be found.
Cannonball's solo possibly the most sublime, ever, in jazz.
For sure, orgasm
Kind Of Blue is one of the most commercially successful albums of all time and when you listen to Flamenco Sketches you understand why.
The best selling jazz album in history.
@@gabrielxtc1 *head hunters
@@joeroganofficial5433 It's up there but I don't think it's the highest-selling
So you know Kind of Blue sells more LPs each year than all the other Jazz records combined. It and only it is the all time favorite Jazz record.
God damn, Kind of Blue really is one of the greatest pieces of music ever.
Now, in 2021, this remains the greatest piece I have ever laid ears on.
I recommend it to many. Cool atmospheric jazz at its best.
Same.
My favorite song on the whole album
I'm a Metal fan to the core, Heavy/Thrash/Black/Prog and a lot of other Rock and genres, but this masterpiece brings tears to my eyes everytime, specially the Coltrane solo, oh man, it pierce my heart.
Am still here in 2023 fall. This music gets to me like no other. Takes me back to my humble factory settings. Such a melancholic yet peaceful place. Am safe here.
2:56 That melody is gorgeous
dope as
definitely the best Miles Davis album
Miles Smiles also!!!!!!!
Nah. Sketches of Spain.
A true masterpiece.
one of the 5 greatest pieces of recorded music in history!!
What are the other four? (genuine question)
As everyone has said this is one of the most important Jazz albums of all time, mind blowing playing. Didn't they record all these tunes in one take. What a joy to listen to it again
For Jimmy Cobb, the drummer on this. Godspeed and good journey, Jimmy Cobb.
Wolff Bachner 💚🥁
Never in a million years I could find words to describe this masterpiece ♥️💫
❤️
Well said
Alexandra De Castro, I agree.
Same this whole album is so flawless and perfect
Truth!!! 💖💖💖
I can't get enough of Bill Evans.
Legend on the keys.
Such beautiful harmonies.
Pure beauty because of Miles's arrangement. He knew how to get the best out of his sidemen. That was part of his genius. You didn't mention Coltrane or Cannonball. Come on. Bill Evans was great but overrated.please give credit where credit is due, and it is due to Miles.
Hell yeah, Bill Evans was a genius!
I know this is the original supergroup.
Leeland Whitted you really think hes overrated?
@@gregoryswift9573 Leeland Whitted is overrated, by himself.
Unfortunately I do not have a woman or any close friends to listen to this song to. But I still listen to it anyway because it is amazing. Thanks Miles.
Same non of my friends really love jazz
@@andreasjensen6617 My husband does, so I introduced him (via CD not in person, ha!) to the Dave Brubeck Quartet. He already liked Miles and some others. My sister and brother-in-law had two Brubeck albums when I was a young girl. I would always put them on as soon as I arrived at their house. They really got me into jazz.
It is phenomenal. Hope you meet someone who will enjoy it with you.
You have the greatest gift in the world and that is you PEACE 🙏
Probably the finest music ever recorded.
I love how when cannonball pipes up it always sounds like he just walked into the room in the middle of the session. Its a clever style and pure improvisational genius for the entire crew on these recordings!
His whole playing style gives you a feeling of Joy
I've always loved his solo on this and no amount of erudite Jazz experts with definitive opinion complexes proclaiming how it doesn't fit in with the rest of the track will ever change my mind.
My whole life, in one song.
Miles was quoted as saying Bill Evans "... plays the piano, the way it should be played." And 6:50 - 7:03 captures just that! Drawing heavily from the work of Maurice Ravel. So heavenly!!!!
The Ravel observation...
Very good.
I adore the pensive melancholy dashed with hopefulness that John expresses.
I forced my late father -- a tenor at the Met who listened to nothing after 1900 -- to listen to all of Kind of Blue. At the end of Flamenco Sketches, he stood up and pronounced that this was "baby making music." Truer words have never been said.
2:54 onward is music that doesn't belong to this world. It continues for about 25 seconds till I'm brought back to the here and now
Miles Davis is one of the greatest music artist ever existed in music history his music speak for itself.
Well Miles Davis in his "first life" in the jazz art form.
@@mandlancayiyana8621 facts Miles Davis is a league of his own he surpassed everyone that came before and definitely after him in jazz and that's a undeniable fact.
@@abrahampalmer8761 I think you should credit the genius of bill evans more
Yes, He was pretty good
Miles is of course the guiding spirit of Kind of Blue, and the rest of the players are geniuses as well. But for me, the dark horse of the album is Bill Evans. At the time, Miles was criticized by some in the jazz community for employing a white man when there were plenty of unemployed black piano players around. Miles' answer was, "I like the way he plays." Maybe that's what made Miles such a great artist. He listened to his instincts, not to what people around him would want him to do.
I think this was his greatest song ever. I never tire of it... just masters all of them.
Growing up, I heard he was an icon, but I never had the curiosity, to investigate how genius he was. Going to a red, white, and blue store, I saw a CD, I decided to buy it, I said to myself, "I wasted my life", now I'm a huge fan. Sorry Miles! Better late, than never!
This has been my medication for 39 years.... When stressed, like now, I turn to this song
If this isn't a "go to" song I don't know what is. Mesmerizing. Jazz and music and art at its finest.
Genius is building without a blueprint,Genius in envisioning what no one else can see,Genius is walking by faith on a unfamiliar path,Genius is Miles Davis Kind of Blue The Album!
Song brings tears to my eyes every single time I hear it. It truly is a thing of beauty.
This is so soothing! Love me some Miles Davis... Rainy peaceful vibes today !
Farewell Mr. Cobb. You're a legend
Mila Ortiz 💚🥁
AS I SIT HERE LOKING OUT OVER THE LAKE, AND WATCH THE STORMS MOVE SOUTH. THIS BRINGS BOTH PEACE JOY AND TKES ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD
Perhaps the greatest Jazz album ever ! This music seduces you into the depths of nostalgia and you feel its pain and its joy while touching your very soul!
This is some of Miles most beautiful music. Love this song and album!!!
If I had to listen to just one song for eternity, i think it would be this.
Jazz was a time...wish I was around for it but I’m glad it’s been recorded
Jazz is eternal.
The slow beauty that reminds us that goodness always exists, in its most mundane moments - the swing in the park, the neon above the diner, the dog that smiles & smiles & smiles. If there's a heaven, may I die & enter this world that was given & given & given. Thank you.
Pure mastery. The sounds they make.
sublime and beatiful
My pops loved miles and this tone was one of his favorite to play my pops played sexophone all his life my pops passed away it's been 4yrs he was 85yrs old playing music was his happy place he is Deeply missed by so many people 💔 😢
the ultimate "bring it down. a thousand " for a man when he going through shit.
This was the first vinyl LP I ever bought (many long years ago) and the more I listen to Miles, the more I understand the depth of his genius.
Flamenco sketches never ages. A song for all occassions.
some people calling that track ''jazz'', but i think the modal vibes can connect something beyond the old mainstream jazz used to do, like ( swing, west coast, bebop, hardbop ). there's a other place inner that you can go thought the modalism of Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Cannonball and Trane. they're all Geniuses, perfect matched with this album.
they pass the melody between them very well.
I'm sure everybody listening to this is aware that in honor of Black History Month, Sirius Real Jazz channel 67 is Miles Davis Radio for a while. Don Cheadle is dj today. Took a highway ride down to my son's just to have an excuse to listen and be mellow behind the wheel
One of the best jazz/songs ever
I hold my husband's hand laying in the dark with the light from this .....beautiful soulful embracable masterpiece....and I think LOVE IN EVERYWAY....and I look at his hands.. .... ...and I think.... ohhh how I can go Miles and Miles and Miles away again and again 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👌🤝
This album turned my life around!!!
Quite a while ago, it must have been LP/vinyl days, say, odd fifty years ago, there I was, lying on my sofa, lights very low and I played this record again and again on Philips very simple mono turntable. What does this mean? It is still classical to me and enjoy it so deeply. One colud say: this is Classical Music of 20Th century.
I know these notes in my head. So powerful.
So thankful for the new experiences on the journey. Blessed to hear this ❤
I was a teen I loved jazz pick it up from my mother when I use to help my mother clean the house she would listen to, this music and that's how I fell in love with miles and Coltrane and jazz period👍back in the 60s and 70s that was real music!!!!!
"Cannonball" Adderley here... immense.
Like many of us, I gave jazz a chance, and now I'm a addict and don't want any rehabilitation! A bonifed Jazz Junkie, and I love it!
This reminds me of my mom and dad and my aunt I miss them now I’m 57 and they’re all gone and I miss them a lot. They used to play this a lot and a lot of other jazz music and it brings back some memories of my parents and my aunt
I absolutely love the Miles Davis documentary, I can remember my mom introducing me, and my three brothers to Miles Davis when we were very young.
Stunning, the nuances and inflections Coltranes ethereal solo
The greatest jazz record EVER❤
What else can be said about this, simply amazing. I can’t express enough how much I love the use of Phrygian in this. As a guitar player this and Mahavishnu’s Meeting of the Spirits really opened my mind.
This does I think top off well the greatest album ever made available to the LP-buying audience.
Cannonballs solo is my favorite in this piece even though all are amazing in their own way. His just resonates more with me
Me too. His solo lines are amazing! Throughout the whole album I like Cannonball's solos more than the others (although the others are brilliant too). I know he is famous, but I still think people sometimes don't make quite as much fuss about Cannonball's talent as they should! (I realise people's tastes differ).
This music feeds my soul.
Play this at my funeral.
I lost my girlfriend 4 months ago Diane Grady was an angel to me. Music and tears heals the soul 😭😭😭💔💔💔
Yes, it does, you will find love again. Just stay true to who you are. You are special because you can hear this music.
Agree Carter I was in a cafe in NY looking out at the lower east side listening to this a good few years ago they played the whole album as soon as I walked in what fortune
A genius , a master and a true virtuoso
flamingo Sketches, best piece forever
Classic Album Everyone kills it especially Cannonball!!
If this music doesn’t move you and get into your soul you have no pulse. This song is heaven on vinyl. Peace
"Absolutely extraordinary".
I looked up the word 'genius' in the dictionary, it said - Miles Davis - Kind of Blue.
Rain drops began to hit the metal roof of my patio when this started at 12:54am on Thursday, 9/24/20. Coincidence?
I listened to this when I walked around downtown Chicago on my headphones at night. I felt like I was in a movie soundtrack which my feet carried.
I just had shoulder surgery on both arms within the last 2 years. The magic Miles brings gives me hope.
This is the very origin and foundation of modern jazz.
I had the pleasure of seeing him in 88 at the Newport Jazz Festival. It was incredible and tickets were $18 folks. So wonderful ❤❤
This always makes me feel like you are playing a love letter to me by three men; especially John Coltrane❤
