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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There’s something incredibly deep and intimate about that moment. It almost feels incredibly confessional…

Play this at my funeral.

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.

God damn, Kind of Blue really is one of the greatest pieces of music ever.

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 💔 😢

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!!!!

This music feeds my soul.

Pure mastery. The sounds they make.

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.

If this isn't a "go to" song I don't know what is. Mesmerizing. Jazz and music and art at its finest.
