What a great way of putting it. From my own experience, people I talk to don’t understand or have any desires to understand Jazz music of any genre it’s like in the modern world it’s received bad press from many ignorant journalists. Hopefully the tide will turn. I am a presenter on a local radio station and will always slip the odd gem in when I get the chance. People need educating. This music is unique and it’s great how the solos are different each time but the tune is recognisable. That’s what’s great with Jazz. You has Jazz!!

Man.. are you telling me some of my hs teachers back in the day were just 30-something year olds? They seemed ancient to me back then...

Miles never overplayed. Miles never felt the need to prove himself to anyone by playing fast, though obviously he could. He just laid back in the pocket and said what he wanted to say. Clearly, concisely and without pretense. For me this is what a true Master does. He gets his point across so that anyone can understand...

From what I understand he saw all the super fast intricate melodies of the Jazz hits at the time and decided to write a song with a 4 note melody, and sound completely badass anyway. You can see it in the music where the bass plays a complicated rhythm and then the melody responds with two notes that mimic a person saying “so what” as if it is calling into question the purpose of the complicatedness of the bass line, symbolic for Jazz at the time. Alright, geek out over, move along.

And then she'd rub it in by smiling a huge smile on her face while snapping her fingers to this crazy music...I remember looking up into mama’s 22yrs young face and with a puzzled look on my 8yrs face exclaiming, "You're serious huh? You really like this stuff huh (hoping she'd realize she had momentarily lost her mind again) smile and continue her gyrations in complete confidence while saying, "Yeah, I love it!" I felt personally insulted. I learned later in life while studying music in on of music classes at the University of Southern California that music mama listen to was as classy and jazzy as it gets and that Miles Dewey Davis was THE #1 JAZZ ARTIST OF ALL TIME.

Don't forget the bass is part of the melody

Wynton Kelly on keys shows great restraint by not trying to pick up on Coltrane's intensity but rather brings a smooth and easy break between Coltrane and Miles. It gives the listener a bit of a breather with simple but pleasing phrasing that's like a palette cleanser after the rush of Coltrane's intensity so that the listener doesn't get exhausted trying to keep up with the cascades of notes from 'Trane and Miles. Really artful display of less is more by Kelly.

So few minimalists today that let the music speak for itself. No lights, costumes, bombs, trapeze stuff just a few guys defining time in their own creative way replete with volume dynamics, manipulation of tempo and tone; its a woven tapestry for all to listen and study. This tune always makes me think.

I avoid this mystic talk when it comes to music, but it feels like John is really just being a vessel for all those notes and melodies, it's like they come effortlessly as a true message from the man. He practiced like a crazy fucker though, I saw in a documentary he practiced 14 hours a day lol

Coltrane is blowing minds!! Miles is just so cool in his approach to melody! I love how each solo piece from each band member takes you on a journey. No one is really better than anybody else, just different, and it's such a trip to see how people translate their emotion into music. Everyone has a story to tell!

Having the blessing of live footage of Coltrane playing is like having footage of Beethoven playing the piano or conducting a symphony...a true joy.

One of the best pieces of music humanity has produced!

Most say it has all deteriorated due to overpopulation, and I can see that is a major factor, but of course, greed and lust for power was always lurking there in any time of ease and prosperity. When the pressure and heat are up like present times, the dross rises to the surface, then the status quo is asserted more vigorously by the stratas of elites, and the common folk are driven into corners by economics, and socially all the simple enjoyments often get buried in the wake of meaningless destruction that follows useless pupose. Get my drift Jason Smith? Just a lot more difficult, and sometimes impossible to relax and think, and enjoy simple things I guess.

Sorry, I forgot to say that you are right! JAZZ IS LIFE. a philosophy of creative co operation brother, so I am swinging with the time and rhythm like you, and we share the love that these inspiring souls still play for us. We bop, and jive, and swing, and lay back to enjoy what COOL really means.

Kind of Blue was my first introduction to jazz. Opened a new world to me.

Everything about this performance screams COOL. Nobody is smiling, everyone is laidback but in sync. And the stamp of coolness was when Miles puts his fingers to his lips and just walks off after he plays the last chorus…masters at work!!

Grew up listening to this song as a kid. My father knew what he was doing when he listened to jazz without his earphones to give us some culture and introduce us to great music.

For Jimmy Cobb, the drummer on this. Godspeed and good journey, Jimmy Cobb.

In the liner notes for Kind Of Blue Cobb is quoted as saying "It [Kind Of Blue] must have been made in heaven." My guess is he's referring to the fact that there was basically no rehearsal for the album and none of the artists had performed any of the songs previous to recording (hard thing to do since Miles Davis had basically only composed them just hours before). All the songs are basically a first take and done and all the parts are pretty much improvised on the spot. Pretty amazing, really, and a true testament to the incredible genius of the players.
