Sixty years ago, In 1959, I was a senior in high school. My friend, Bob Nalley, bought this record in the only record store in town. I visited him almost daily. Every time I went over, this record was playing. It became a sort of anthem for that time. We joked that the school should have played it at our graduation.

It's funny reading the comments here. To me growing up poor, black and in the projects of Brooklyn, NY, my parents were friends with Miles Davis (dad was a jazz saxophonist of the era though not famous but had famous friends and cohorts). This tune was always a celebration of rainy days, since staying in the house to hear it played on my dad's phonograph with the scratchy elements, soft brush strokes of drummer Jimmy Cobb and the beautiful piano of Bill Evans..And to this day, my photo at Sonny Rollins birthday party will always remind me of Mr. Paul Chambers, one of the bassists that died too young.

Cobb also witnessed Davis teasing Evans. “Bill would say something and Miles would tell him, ‘Man, cool it. We don’t want no white opinions.’ They were close but Miles would just fool with him. It was good-hearted.” It's less openly cruel when you read it in context, though still unfortunate that the racial dynamic had to be there at all...

Exactly this. No matter when you revisit it, after the first time, it's like coming home. No matter how much you've grown and learned and experienced, no matter how much you understand.... this piece in particular and this entire album, are like coming home. It's like entering the door of a familiar space, taking off your shoes, mixing up a stiff drink and sighing as you sink into the couch. It's like you're mom's cooking, or the joy of waking up on Christmas day to snow. It takes you back to the times you cherish, in the first lick. There are few songs that can transport you to that time, and even fewer that can take you to that time shared. Anyone who has felt this composition, immediately has a connection and a commonality. It cannot be stated enough just how much this song matters.

Can’t believe, if the rumors are true, that Bill Evans wrote this on one sitting at night after session with Miles. I think this is the most beautiful jazz tunes ever. Haven’t heard them all, but.. The way Bill uses his chords in this is a whole thing in itself.. those upper structure chords that just flow right to another, and of course when he plays, he is adding more harmony/chords that what is written out (well as almost always in jazz, at least reharmonization) and of course what a great outro/solo melodies on top of that.. what a unique mind.

This is a song I'd listen to while strolling the streets of Paris, London and Copenhagen 📻🎼😎

This is simply the most innovative and comprehensive piece of music ever written.

This was my little hidden gem back in 1998 high school. I would hear this alone and try to find some type of peace ☮️.

It's 1973, you're sitting in a corner of a smoky pub in the damp streets of Chicago. Its midnight, but still, dim lights and the scent of oak set the mood for this day till dawn. A cold cup in hand, foam streaming down, and you lay there, in that timber rocking chair cradled by the sound of delicate cymbals and soft, dreamy notes from the piano. The most beautiful jazz...

Very interesting!@@johncampbell6554

This song is so beautiful; I want it played at my wedding.

The title is perfect "After the rain" it's like letting someone go or letting something go; letting go of the grief of their loss and seeing the sun rising again even after the rain The pain is still there but also a building resolve to continue At least you know who you are even after the rain

this is the first jazz album I ever bought. I had no clue who Miles Davis was or anyone else on this record. It simply was the title of the album that intrigued me. Something about "Kind of Blue" spoke to me. I had never really listened to jazz. I remember just putting this on and from So What to all the other tracks I just thought wow I never knew music could be "this" like most I grew up on pop music and the radio. This album led to a love of jazz for the past (wow!) probably 30 years now. Bill Evans has become my ultimate go to guy for jazz. There is just something about him in that its sophisticated but also just so aesthetic. I will never "re-live" or be able to "hear" this record for the first time again but that memory is deep inside my psyche. It was simply the day I started to understand that music could be so many things.

I was listening to Elvis Presley. One day a kid came by and put on a Dave Brubeck record. Boom! Soon I was bringing home Miles Davis recordings, adding them to my Brubeck holdings. One might call it magic; it's an ever-evolving Creation from which we learn gratitude.

Makes me cry every time. The most beautiful piece of music ever recorded for me

You sit down in this cafe, and finally realize there can be peace, whatever that means, but it still feels nice, that deep sense of calm, for 6 or 7 seconds old relationships drive through your mind, but you choose to just sit in this cafe, and be present. You allow yourself the luxury of true relaxation. Stay well friends.

2021 still the masterpiece of Kind of Blue.

The sound that miles’ trumpet makes here is the kind that plays in your head for the rest of your life. For a young musician, it sets a high water mark of excellence and beauty in its most elegant form.

Welcome on board!

Stain glass in an inner city church, summer picnics with cold, cold beer and soda, rainy Saturday mornings listening to the rain pour down and seeing the streets glisten. Everything is ok, everything is ok.

Simply put...this is a perfect song.

This quintet/sextet. Miles's towering genius. That precise moment in time. My lord, artistry at its pinnacle. The stuff of gods and angels. What a gift to humanity.

Best selling jazz record of all time. Imagine life without this . See , you can’t .

There are other records in the universe

To me, blue in green, is when, all of the sudden, a sentiment of nostalgia or melancholy strike you in a time when you should be happy. Is that feeling after a moment of pure bliss when you're on the top of the world, like when you finally achieved that important goal that you have been pursuing for a long time, and then you realize that all the effort and hopes were narrowed down to just a moment that inevitably has to pass. That's when you find the blue in the green.

The music hasn’t gone anywhere….. just keep listening and finding new stuff. It’s endless 🙏🏼

Jazz is the greatest art form of the 20th century for sure. Please do not dismiss American bluegrass artists. Doc Watson is of a level with Miles

For me, no other piece of music does a better job of evoking melancholy than Blue In Green. 💙

I didn’t know that Melancholy could Sound So Beautiful ! 🎹🎼💫⭐️

miles - blue in green ..happy birthday ! R.I.P.

Not a single bad note or rhythm. This is pure music, of the highest level.

5 minutes never felt longer. Absolutely wonderous piece.

The room is dark, the sky is grey, the grass is blue. This song represents what we take for granted. The beauty of life 🌎🔉😌

One of my favorite songs. It's so serene, and slightly melancholic.

It's so weird yet beautiful how we all contacted with each other.. and sometimes with out us knowing that we are.. Its just in the air, in your eyes, skins, minds, so weird yet beautiful..

LOVE THIS ... Blue in Green remains so meditative and jazzy .

could listen to this all nite
