    When I was about 15, my guitar teacher told me that Miles' solo on this track was everything a jazz solo should be. Now, 40 years later, after 1000s of hours practice, and teaching, gigging, listening, I agree.

      @@eltakatan1173 In terms of the chords it's actually extremely simple, the whole song is basically just 2 chords. Really they are just in one scale (D Dorian) then they shift up a half step to D# Dorian for the B section, then back down. That's it. The soloist is free to do whatever they want within those scales or even outside of them so that's why it can sound complex but the underlying chords are very simple

      Miles' music (from this era at least) I think is a lot easier for non jazz-listeners to understand since there are far fewer chords and fewer notes from outside the scale (called chromatic notes). This song is really just staying in one scale for a long time, then moving up a half step for a while then back down. It's a very simple and strong foundation and backdrop for the soloists to play over

    I am almost scared of listening to this too much. I think I first heard it in the sixties when I was about six or seven. It had an extraordinary effect on me as I did not really understand music and experienced it as an almost hypnotic force. The past fifty plus years has educated my ears, but my obsession with music has also meant things are less mysterious. My fear is in losing the vague memory of how it affected me all those years ago and instead understand it too well.

    I’m 13 and these types of songs especially by miles Davis are truly amazing. I have one friend at school, his name is leon, and he is into jazz like I am. I play bass, he plays drums. We used to hire out music studios in our school but we stopped because the equipment was terrible. On the bus home every day we put in one earphone and play new jazz songs that sounded cool. We love this song. Shame that most kids in my school still listen to pop and hip hop. Don’t get me wrong, some pop songs are great, but a majority of them are terrible. Wish more kids liked this...
    Edit: im nearly 16 now and found this comment again, lots changed. Leon moved school but we still showing new stuff to each other all the time. We went to a local jazz gig about two weeks ago which was great. We also got offered the chance after the gig to join a youth jazz band, not really sure whats happening with it but it sounds fun!

    Mile's music was revolutionary in the jazz world but a lot of people don't understand why. It's not that he made jazz more complex, it's really the opposite (at least for this era).
    The bebop and hard bop era songs were mostly complex chord progressions filled with up to 20 chords or more in one song which left very little time for the soloist to explore each one. You basically had to adhere to the chords the whole time. In a way it was like navigating a complex maze. If you didn't know the maze, you'd get totally lost without a map (chord chart). If you knew the maze well, you could get through it quickly and smoothly, even with some personal flair, but even then there still wasn't a lot of room to move around.
    Miles wanted instead to just stay on one or two chords for a long time and let the soloist explore them more deeply and fully, so it's actually very simplified in terms of harmony but the possibilities in terms of solos are opened up. Instead of a maze, this was more like a couple of large rooms. Think instead of a complex choreographed dance number, you rather have one dancer allowed to use almost the whole stage and be more individually expressive.
    I think this is why his music tends to be a lot more accessible to people who aren't normally jazz listeners. It's actually a lot simpler in terms of harmony, but it leaves a lot of room for the soloists to be very expressive with their personal voices

  • @Whatzzzz999

    The solos! OMG! Miles: sharp, cool, elegant. Coltrane: serious as Buddha, resolute, other-worldly. Cannonball: a butterfly in a summer's garden, playful, beautiful. Evans: hunched over the keys channelling Debussy and Ravel. Sublime stuff, and it changed the face of jazz in a heartbeat.

We all go through difficult times but true belief of your higher power and whatever it may be, music has always been my savior and Miles Davis Chet Baker listening to Ron Bonham the drummer from Led Zeppelin who was inspired from all great jazz drummers, these guys blow me away. I’m proud of you even though I don’t know you and your job now Is to take care of your children, your family and yourself most definitely. Enjoy jazz and mellow out when you get stressed. God bless and stay healthy.

    My late father was a merchant seaman in the late 50's early 60's, and on his trips from Liverpool, England to NYC his ship would dock at Pier 90,West 50th Street,and he would always head to the record stores in and around Midtown Manhattan, to buy the latest releases before they became available in the UK. 'Kind of Blue was one of the gems he purchased,and I've loved it ever since then. Bill Evans' playing is sublime.

      +Vaibhav Joshi well that certainly isn't the definition of Modal Jazz, but it can be a characteristic of modal songs in general: On non modal jazz the soloing based on arpegiating differently in every chord (say autumn leaves) - the more chords you have the more soloing possibilities. In modal jazz you can wreck and mess around in one or more modes/scales in a very basic chord structure.

    This music brings me back to my childhood, my dad would play it on the weekends while he cooked when i was little and he is my absolute all-time hero and best friend, this music brings me such joy ♡ i heard a snippet of it in a show the other day and i had to ask my dad the name of the tune right away, it is so peaceful ♡ reminds me of those happy days so much
