TH-cam now uses Opus, which you'll be pleased to hear is much closer to lossless CD quality, even at low bitrates. Runs circles around a 320kbps MP3, even at 128kbps.
There are certain albums that every human should listen to at some point in his/her life. This is most definitely one of them. An absolute masterpiece.
Required listening ,middle school,high school?Children don't know who Armstrong,Ellington,Miles or Coltrane are.A national disgrace.....not to mention guys like Roy Haynes,96,a National Treasure,still with us,and was still touring pre Covid.
An album I have heard all the way through, a hundred times, at least. It never gets old. One of my coolest Jazz cat meetups was with the drummer on this session,.the late Mr. Jimmy Cobb. I got to see and hear him play, but the battery died on my camera, and the only shot I got that night is a cell phone picture, of the two of us. He was a treasure. I have had the honor of meeting and hearing Jazz elders, who played with Miles and Coltrane, and Bill Evans, Cannonball, and more.
I know How u feel it’s something about the rain in Georgia and classic jazz, miles is from my hometown, East St. Louis ILL, I moved to Georgia and had priceless nights, at home listening to classic jazz at home when it rained, oh my God I understood what I was listening too
Coltrane LOL! So restless. I love how he bounces so hard off the walls - literally - that you become acutely aware of the room as soon as he starts his solo.
Oh yes, these tunes are just ace.....fellow jazziteer listener. I was born a couple of years after pink panther theme,. I'm 56 near end of this month. My father was biggest influence on me for liking jazz. My grandparents loved dance to earlier toons in the 30s also. Happy listening!

Picked up a couple of my friends while visiting the ATL in 2004. They are good dudes but had zero affinity for jazz....so sad! En route to a spot to eat, Jeff asks, Who is this? I gave em the history lesson and Dave chimed in that he had to pick it up. The brother asked for total quiet while it was playing....hilarious but wise! Just like that....CONVERTS! We all know the story of what happened in 1959 regarding this album and it still serves the purpose. Music is very personal and this standard has withstood the test of time...probably always will. Kind of Blue truly set the tone!
Agreed. IMHO the 'Trane solo is least 'Bluesy' of them all, yet beyond the typical Bebop Swinging and blowing, which was what Miles wanted all along. Coltrane's solo was like seeing a flower in bloom; or in his case, a genius in bloom. #respect
As a musician of 42 years under my belt, I realised that Miles was a school on his own. Listening him improves you, how wonderful all these great musicians who performed with him must have felt! Thank you for all the wonderful feelings you have given us.

Blue Jazzman Sometimes, songs on the same album can sound quite reminiscent of one another. I guess it's because they're in the same frame of mind at that time.
My 10th grade poetry teacher introduced me to jazz - This was the first jazz cd I had ever heard! It blew my mind. Still just as good today. PS: almost at 1 million views.
Absolutely timeless! Miles Davis' brilliance shines through in Freddie Freeloader-such smooth, rich jazz that never gets old. The way the trumpet leads the melody and the rhythm section grooves together is pure magic. A true masterpiece!
This is the BEST REAL JAZZ ALBUM EVER MADE!!!! MILES DAVIS WAS THE MAN PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!! HE TOOK IT WHERE NO ONE ELSE EVER COULD. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, WHEN HE LED THE WAY WITH THIS ALBUM EVERYBODY ELSE HAD TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD!!!!!

I've been listening to this album for 50 years! Just gets better with time. Love the silences after Miles' phrases. Love the artistry with which drummer Jimmy Cobb sets up everyone's solos. Wynton Kelly's groove is mesmerizing.
This music is so complex, and the instrumental solos don't always make sense to me, yet they still flow beautifully and harmoniously together, ultimate expression, and improvisations are absolutely genius.
Not to be a contrarian here, but it isn't super complex when broken down. I'm learning the walking bass line. The progression and melody is shown in the Real Book and you can find it on youtube. If you learn the scales and the instrument it is only a matter of keeping everything in formation and in time. Otherwise, the complexity is a matter of unfamiliarity. If you want to learn it do some studying and you will see it is fairly simple. Idk what instrument you play but I hope this helps a bit. Once you crack the code it is not too bad. Take lessons if you need. That's what I did and it helped tremendously. Again, this isn't me taking a shot just to say that you can understand exactly what is going on by learning a bit about music keys and scales. It helps to appreciate it on a new level.

Nothing like listening to this drinking a glass of wine, and looking at the rain pouring down, exactly when I am doing right now in Georgia 2020.
We're listening under a 3/4 moon, clear Marlborough NZ sky, glass of dry pinot gris and it sounds awesome here too mate!
Indeed fresh vegetables music for the soul
The rain always pours when this magical record plays. Like a raindance.
as it should be ...miles must be enjoyed in an place of solitude ...just too good to do in haste ...
Or smoking weed
This song reminds me distinctly of the weather from a late period in 2022 when I started driving on the coastal road down towards Santa Cruz.
And this is what they did on the first freaking take. AMAZING.

never get tired of Miles Davis especially So What.
...And Blue in green......
Same
Sweetest piano solo ever!
Fo sho. I bought lil keyboard just to hit that. 3rd or 4th note in I was lost.
We have been blessed to live at a time when a musician's "voice" can be heard through time and space.

This is one of those rare albums that is impossible to overhype.
Jazz is great music to get up to or sleep to. Good on a rainy day or watching a nice sunset. Perfect for almost all occasions.

Coltrane's solo improvisation from 4:30 is mind-blowing flight of fantasy! Ofcourse all members of this session is outstanding jazz geniuses!

I love how the bass moves in the beginning of the song
The beginning sounds like "So What" backwards! What a genius!!!
Blue Jazzman Sometimes, songs on the same album can sound quite reminiscent of one another. I guess it's because they're in the same frame of mind at that time.
true, they are similar but it all works out :)
So if I sing Marry Had a Little Lamb backwards, I'm a genius. Simp.
Its because its modal jazz

And what a solo it is!
he kills it as always
At Dodger Stadium, they sometimes play this song on the organ when Freddie Freeman is at bat, and I think it's a great touch.
I like the way this makes me feel
Pure genius is a gross understatement.

One of my many jazz vinyls that I have in my collection. Miles was the best!
So relaxing 😌
Listening to "Kind Of Blue" should be mandatory for all...Esp young generations.....Talk about some serious teaching.....
This really gives me the vibe of a classy, traditional bar with the perfect balance between those smoothe, slow melodies and a tempo of urgency

He was the trumpet?

Jazz was not clean. When you think about the culture is pretty hardcore
that must've been quite the time to grow up

In his book with Quincy Troupe, Miles said that in writing for the KOB album, he wanted to get away from chordal complexities.
@@adekolaajakaiye9650 To my ears (and no further sources) it seems it was supposed to be a move from chordal complexity, to inspired melodic work with deep attention to playing something really meaningful. I suppose that can kind of look like complexity especially to a less trained ear, depth is probably better.
@KnzoVortex
I can't tell a flattened fifth from a fifth of gin(apologies to Dizzy).

I totally agree with you!!
