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.
Your guitar teacher is correct.
the 10.000 hour rule

Hardtop Harry Lol I'm 15 and I was told to go listen to Miles's solo because it was the quintessential jazz solo. By a guitar teacher. Yesterday. What a coincidence

I am a metal head but jazz is my rest moment. Love it and respect it. Music is for everybody.
Me too. 🤘🏽😎
There would be no Metal or Rock n' Roll if it weren't for this. I'm like you, a metal head indeed, but know and respect this!
It's a BIG tent.
im a jazz head but metal is my gym music when i need to DESTROY SHIT
I feel the same way. Sometimes its slipknot, sometimes its Dave Brubeck. Music tastes and vary so much in one listener.
I am 73 and had the privilege of meeting many of the musicians in this line-up. These musicians are like GODS. When they play it is like they are making a profound statement.
Roy Davis You're so lucky!
I think that is the opinion of most of us
Amen
they're like gods but they existed(exist)
very true
Having a bad day? No worries, get someplace where you can be alone, throw on this tune and all will be right in the world again.
So true miles is the man too take way the blues and bring joy

exactly!!!!!!!!
So accurate.
Watch some adult swim too

Thanks!👍
Thank you.
Don't forget Charlie Mingus. I don't know who was on percussion.
One of the most stacked lineups in history
@@ihategooglereally2027It was actually Paul Chambers on this record
I turned 23 today and only just discovered this. My life has only just begun.
well, happy birthday, I am myself turning 24 in a few months
I'll be 29 in November. I feel old now.
Magic awaits you guys.
Another hint, Szabo 'Dreams'
I'm 76 and have felt the same way about a number of events in my life. But you have to remember that your 24 years prior to hearing this song were setting the stage for your acceptance and appreciation of the tune. Just as hearing this song will be a stepping stone to something else. Happy birthday and wishes for many more steps upward.
Shit. Your a tadpole. Go get a marantz receiver from 1973. And a pair of conwalls from the 80s. And a nice vintage record player. Get back w me
I can dig as deep into the rarest and most obscure jazz as I have done all my life, but in the end, all roads lead here......
+Mr223P could you please recommend me some obscure jazz?
+Morla D. Ancient One it would be my pleasure. But can you give me some guidelines into what sort of thing you are looking for??
Well, anything that's good in your opinion, I'm kinda new to Jazz so I wouldn't know what to look for exactly.Aslong as it's pretty unknown, since I can find my way through most things that are pretty known.
+Morla D. Ancient One do you happen to know who David Liebman is?
@@asellape9270 on the corner?
My Dad use to listen to this when I was a little girl. It reminds me of times when I felt safe and that nothing could harm me. I thought my dad was a super hero. I thank him for giving me a side of African American culture that I may have never been introduced to. Smooth chill vibes.
Perfect.
Paula Jarrett I liked this comment... my dad used to play this and I would fall asleep to it not knowing or really caring who miles Davis was cause I was 10... now I’m 19 turning 20 in July and I adore jazz to the point of me taking a jazz history college course!
I've loved jazz since I was a little boy. I remember listening to A Day in the Life by Wes Montgomery March 1, 1969 when we moved into our new home in the Avalon Park neighborhood on Chicago's Southside. I fell in love with jazz then as a five year old boy.
the piano player is white
Nice memories you got! But dear Paula, do you mention, let's say, "Eastern European culture" or "Jewish culture" when you write about "Puttin' on the Ritz" or "God Bless America" songs? Or do you mention any kind of "White culture" when you write about the Declaration of Independence or Disney movies? Just curious.
This was a band made in heaven. Each one of them are true jazz gods. Just pure perfection
Agreed 💯
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! And even better my dad has planned to take us up to ronnie scotts in london sometime in the near future. Veeeeery excited :)
You are the coolest 13 year old I've read about.
Sincerely,
Another 13 year old
Finally, a man of TRUE culture! It was about time someone spoke to the truth. I am genuinely confused as to why my fellow peers enjoy repetitive hip hop songs. I much prefer jazz. With lack of better words, it just makes sense to me.
Sincerely,
Yet another 13 year old.
Dont shame them please get them into Americas greatest cultural contribution to the world . it is inclusive to us all. We need the youth to not let this die.
I'm a 15 year old who has been OBSESSED with jazz harmony and the idea of music theory for a couple of years now. It's come to the point where i can basically make somewhat Jacob Collier style chords and progressions. But i failed to notice that i haven't even touched the older jazz standards of any kind. Starting off with Miles Davis and this song has been an awesome journey so far, and i still have so much to uncover from the jazz iceberg. What an incredible experience this has been so far, and hats off to these amazing jazz players and musicians who have paved the way of the jazz we know today.
Keep it up , little brother
I'm not a huge jazz fan. But I could listen to this all day. It's simple and sophisticated. Relaxing and smooth. But full of life. Just love it.
i mean, simple… i dont think it is simple at all
Another metal head here my dude. Tony Iommi is a big jazz fan Joe Pass is a big influence on him.
@@eltakatan1173Then you should read the liner notes on the album cover that Bill Evans wrote … very simple.
@@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
Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Bill Evans. A Mt. Rushmore of jazz players.
Just read your observation . Quite astute . Glad I am not alone in this regard.
daddyohoh1
Would simply argue that the Cannonball has also carved his caricature into the pantheon of jazz's immortals.👑🎸🎵
As great as they were nothing beat Miles, herbie, Ron, Wayne, and Tony
dont forget herbie
Okay, now let's add Roy Hargrove
1959 was the year for the coolest Jazz, Blakey, Davis, Brubeck, Mingus, Coleman, Monk, Gillespie, Fitzgerald, Hawkins, Evans, Kenton, truly the apex year for the best Jazz, don't forget Coltrane
This whole album is like a warm blanket on an icy January evening.
Or a Manhattan Autumn gaze out your 33rd floor hotel room's window at 2 AM sipping a cool drink, chillin with a million.
...Or a rural drive with the lights low on a brisk, clear fall night.
I'm literally lying in bed under a blanket on an icy January morning in Chicago listening to this incomparable album
@@ChiRedWhiteBlue same thing for me here in buffalo
or a cold beer on a hot Florida beach!!😎🙏🏿😃
For Jimmy Cobb, the drummer on this. Godspeed and good journey, Jimmy Cobb.
Kind of evil plan but i like it
In my humble opinion Kind of Blue was the greatest Jazz Album ever.
It is the best-selling jazz album of all time
You're not that far off
Not the most controversial opinion.
Pure jazz genius, a Black American artform jazz, our classical music
How right you are...take the black out of most music and...it dont swing the same. Have a blessed day.
Medicine...this is the elixir for whatever ails you.
Music
YES!
Whew, Davis' intro is perfection, and then you have Coltrane coming in and it's even more perfection.
yea i listen to this for Tranes and Cannonballs solos
i heard on a documentary that the intro was fully improvised
The entire album was improvised.The best jazz album ever.
Well EXCUSE the fuck out of me.
Who the fuck is he to prove such a measly point?
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.
sharp? I would say he`s perfectly in tune ;)
Written
Everybody in the USA needs to chill out with Miles🙏😎🌎 Peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Ahh. DeBussy. I love Debussy. Sometimes all I can think about is Debussy.
Beautifully put.🥰
No matter where you came from, music led you here
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
This is almost 60 years old now, incredible music that will now & forever be timeless.
60!? My god....
that's known as a classic
@@oldgit4260 62 now.
When you listen to this, time slows way down, almost ceases
You said it better thanks
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.
Alun49 wow that’s deep I feel the same
La BUENA Musica amigo, produce en el ser humano efectos extraordinarios !!!! y, tambien EDUCA tu oido y GUSTO Musical. Yo soy fanatico del genero JAZZ y la CLASICA de los Grandes Maestros que incluye la musica LIRICA...saludos desde Peru...
I completely understand. Like when you understand something "too" well, you miss the simplicity of the vague idea and enjoying it for existing. 🙌🙌
So what? Get out!!
@@luisastetecanal3599 Gracias por tu comentario. Sí, creo que la buena música nos afecta profundamente y nos afecta la forma en que experimentamos el mundo y a nosotros mismos. ¡Saludos desde Inglaterra!
This album was old 50 years ago and yet it still is a masterpiece performed by one of the greatest jazz bands of all time. Cherish the memories and the music. 🙏
Cannonball playing is so captivating.
Jazz reminds me of my granny who grew up in St.Louis/Chicago during this era, and she and her brother brought me and my brothers on jazz. I knew jazz before I knew hip hop and I'm 26. Everybody calls me old or weird for listening to jazz, only if they knew the benefits of just letting a record play and letting all those notes just soak into you. Its therapeutic for me
Miles equals baddd Jazz for sure calms the mind. A dollar in my pocket add jazz I'm there 😎😎😎
Phuck em.. Jazz is real music.. I can't believe ppl actually think somebody rappin over trap beats think that's music.. Keep doing you homie
Im 38 nate..same here.. Along with a spliff of dro !!
Nathaniel Kinsey I’m a 19 year old college freshman who learned about jazz from my dad and he also taught me rock n roll too and I love music! So much so I’m taking a college course right now on jazz history
I face the same problem to brother and we are the same age I love jazz music and soul music, you kno I lik a little of everything
The bass and piano are exquisite.
The trumpet is in a groove like no other
Paul Chambers and Bill Evans, in that order.
Well, the trumpet and the sax add a little to the piece too. No one is mentioning the drummer, though. Great ear for what's going on.
Drummer, Tony Williams contribution is making to a decent drive. A few bumps in the road make it an interesting journey.
@@LarsVision
Uhhhhh...that would be Jimmy Cobb on drums. He preceded Tony, who was the drummer for Miles' subsequent quintet, which also included Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Wayne Shorter on saxophone. This legendary ensemble along with Jimmy included, Paul Chambers on double bass, Bill Evans on piano, Wynton Kelly on piano for one track (Freddie Freeloader, which he wrote) and of course, Miles, 'Trane, and The Cannonball...Timeless!
Jazz music is a miracle for this world.
In our band class one day, we were talking about jazz musicians. Someone brings up Miles Davis. So I say "Miles Davis? So what?" They were so pissed for a second until they realized I was making a pun.
So What
@Nickhead87 Actually the key thing here is probably the flippant attitude. If he'd have said "I'm not really a fan" or even "I don't like Miles Davis" he may not have gotten the same response.

Hey bangsad :)
@@sandy10tahunyanglalu15 Don't say that it's rude.
The Coltrane solo on this helps me do difficult things: lifting a car, extinguishing a fire with bare feet, withdrawing cash at any ATM without putting a card in, saving far more than 50% on car insurance, stopping muggings in various cities while sitting home... etc. Pretty decent tune. I bet this album will be huge.
Listen to how Miles utilizes space in his solo on So What and notice how this rest makes the notes that he does play that much more effective.
+David Arbelaez Yes, in the book by Mark Levine, it is pointed out that this song is a typical example of Modal Jazz, few chords and more spaces. I'm yet to read more on that.
+David Arbelaez creation through subtraction
+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.
+Vaibhav Joshi modal jazz simply refers to the chord-scale relationships used for example, in a 2-5-1 the 2 can be Dorian, the 5 mixolydian and the 1ionian and so on
"If you don't have anything to say, then shut up." -Miles Davis
The master of utilizing silence as part of music.
Best Jazz you will ever hear my friends. We miss you my brother.

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.
Glad you saw the light my brother! Take care of the babies and teach them the wisdom you've acquired!

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.

Who could dislike this?
A complete idiot
Nowadays there are so many people who hate Jazz ...
Speaking the Truth ur right and it stinks
Agreed
Lots of people. Jazz is polarizing. I love the rhythms but the melodies sound either boring or unpleasant to my ears, generally speaking.
This album had to have been made in heaven.
“Great art doesn’t come to you you have to go to it”. -Wynton Marsalis
This piece is more than music to me. It's a bond for me and my granddaughter....thank God for these musicians!
The perfect jazz song
This album sounds like a walk in the rain.
There is no piece of music 'cooler' than this. This is the pinnacle of Mid-20th Century music for me, and will likely stand the test of time long after I'm dead and gone. R.I.P Miles.
If more people in the world listened to this it would be a much better world!
Amen!
2019 and still one of the best jazz recordings ever produced
Bruh cut tha jazz man
Like seven decades and counting, still a fresh masterpiece, jazz has only gotten better because of Miles’ genius.

Me too😊
Indeed!
For some reason, I wanted to hear this, today. I almost broke down and cried- the beauty overwhelmed me. This grabbed all of me even though I am convinced I've hear it a million times in the past. This is the kind of good old days that captures me- heartfelt, lovely, warm, kindred....
You can't help it but marvel at the luxurious basslines & gentle
piano chords on this hauntingly magnificent touch of modal Jazz, the
genius that is Miles Davis in his trumpestious pomp, ably assisted by a
great cast such the legendary John Coltrane, now this is Jazz heaven
couldn't have said it better myself!
God damn im getting really into jazz
+theneovas1 It slowly draws you in until you become addicted like I am! lol There will never be another Miles & Coltrane! R.I.P. What geniuses they both were! Look at all they left us!
Exactly dude. I'm in the perfect place for it too. Louisiana...
Here's a suggestion. Try "Hey it's James Moody" it's a full album that I know you will just love.Look for "Last train to Overbrook by James Moody also. He plays several instruments but he's so fine on the flute! Hope you like him. I tried to add you to my list of friends here on youtube so we can converse about jazz but for some reason I just can't seem to do it . So if you want try to add me if you want. Glad you responded to my comment. Always nice to get a comment to my comment. Louisiana is the hot place for Jaxx & the Blues. Wish I was there to hear that great music playing while walking down the main part of town. Peace!
To find the James Moody album in youtube they have changed their format & now you have to enter like this to find it- James Moody Hey! It's James Moody + Flute'N the Blues (Bonus Track Version) and it should pop right
up. Peace Loven that flute!
+Carole Tallerino i just saw this earlier and thanks that album was very interesting! I really liked it

A PHENOMENAL EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION OF THE UNSPEAKABLE THAT
SOMEHOW BURSTS WITH MEANING.
Rest in peace Mr. Cobb! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your wonderful music.
I've often thought and wondered if Philly Joe Jones, would have been the drummer on this album, would it sound somewhat slightly different ( just saying )
Anyway, Peace to all.

Hahahaha-Pei Mei probably
In a hundred even two hundred years and more.. . People will look at this as though generations have mozart and beethoven. But; actually be able to listen and watch old footage of the grand masters performing their genius.
Miles Davis was it all on stage & off... He lived a Jazz life, improvisation at it purist.
This tune is the definition of cool
doesn't get any better than this recording and level of musicianship
If you're listening to this type of music even if you're still young that's mean you have a wonderful taste of music, have a good day.
Thank you

One of my favorite songs ever in music history
I love that bass
Who doesn't
+jose rojas It's talkin' to ya...huh?
And Jimmy Cobb's crash at 1m32s on So What is prob the most majestic in jazz history!!
To Shastri who got me into jazz -this music is a gift to the ears.
You know a song is memorable when you can go a year without hearing it and still sing the solos note for note. Man was this one to remember.✊🏾
Paul Chambers on bass, sets up the entire session and creates the octave and rhythmic variations. A classic example of a perfective lead instrument often thought of as a backup accompaniment.
Paul Chambers on the bass. What a great musician.
Im used to rap n rnb but this is a life changer...
This is beautiful...the bass lines are amazing
I'm standing on East 42nd on a cold autumn(Fall for you yenks😂) blustery afternoon in 1959 looking up at the amazing Manhattan skyline above me!, I pull my coat collar up and tip my hat down against the fresh wind, leaves swirling around me, I've died and come to musical exctacy!!💖💖💖
well I think that would be ecstasy for you ?? Brits, Canucks.
This is the first music I ever heard.in my life. My daddy introduced Jazz into my and my siblings lives as baby's. I will forever be grateful to him for that. This music enables me to see the brilliance of my people, Black people, in a way nothing else can. Whenever I hear Miles, Coletrane, Dizzy, or Max Roach, I think of my daddy and that old record player.
Bruh you know it’s a real jazz band when you have miles Davis, John coltrane, and Bill Evans in it!
Album changed my life. The vinyl sound is other worldly.
I'm 14 and I like this jazz player, when I was 12, I studied on this music in music class and until now I have this song on my head
(Sorry for bad English, I'm learning)😅
Music for the soul. I can't live without this...
Somebody had to write and perform the iconic jazz tune
of all time. An ultimate.
WOW all time classic. This is the one album all music lovers and everyone in the world loves. Timeless. Universal. Welcome to heaven.
Bill Evans and Miles are the best duo. I’ve never heard such a world sung between two people. They really resonated with each other. It’s so clear.
Bill’s densely delicate harmonics. Miles’ reaching and poignant melodic paths. It’s of a dream.
No one could’ve done this but them. No one.
This song was created in heaven man. When you get there, this what you'll hear.
It sure was.
Gone 30 years today but forever missed! There was nobody like you Miles. Your talent was a gift from God and we had the pleasure of it and you for 36 years. Thank you!
As much as I love other genres of music ( soul, funk, Rnb, hip-hop (especially 90s), classical (especially 1800s) and anything that sounds soulful, bluesy or jazzy...) every time I listen to jazz I feel like this is the crowning achievement of all music. It has the perfect balance of sexy, groovy, sensuous, danceable and brainy, sensitive and subtle. And that blue note! Perfection made sound!
Thanks from Italy
Oh yes I'm loving this, got same kind of CDs on a few artists of 20s to 30s 40s and so on. From fellow jazziteer
Same for me. I’m a major rock head, stated as a pure punk fan and then later my taste widened, but there just nothing like this stuff. As much as I’m in love with Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, this album has a special place in my heart
Give folk a try!
It truly is. It never gets old.
The first song I go to for testing new speakers or headphones. Amazing piece!
***** No other way to hear it!
Niceeeeee
I go to anything on Steely Dan's Aja
Deacon Blues is the ultimate speaker testing song.
it's amazing music.. but it doesn't really test your speakers as such now does it...
Some may argue, but I think this might be THE BEST jazz album of all-time
It is certainly one of the best. I personally like Sunny Side of the Strip. It's a live album with the George Shearing Quintet. Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet is also a contender for best jazz album of all time. Just my opinion.
You can make an argument, but the one thing that cannot be discussed is that you have good taste.
Coltrane and Miles... The talented duo.
