  • took me a while to get into Jazz but now I understand, it is incredible music. I still have yet to grasp Free Jazz mind you.

  • I went from listening to Iron Maiden to listening to this...how random is that?

  • @slowmonkey156 lady luck is smiling on you today good sir

  • I remember thinking this was shitty when I first heard it.

    God, I would've laughed if I was told this would become my favourite song ever.

  • who is playing sax?

    

  • @fiftieslover John Coltrane on tenor and cannonball Adderly on alto

  • This record is historical. A turning point in modern music

    Top 3 or 4 records of the last century along with a few others

    that change music so much that it is impossible to give them

    any order..... MERC

  •  mi

  • It's as if the instruments are telling you a story, without the need of voice.

    I love this record.

  • I Just want every single person to know this - They should teach this to kids in school to mellow out their day. Good luck Junior keep listening you will go far !!!

  • Good Morning Mr. Davis! Just doe'nt get any better than this.

  • Jazz is nothing but a feeling described in different words.

  • yes you gotta love this song

  • if you like this listen to 'nachttierhaus' a german alternative jazz band

  • Like fine age wine!!!

  • So what... this is great stuff. Especially driving on a cool night with light snow falling.

  • 97 dislikes?

    so what

  • @ilmedico100 eh..they are crazy,i inivte you a drink amigo :) .

  • @WineRedX gracias amigo

    :-)

  • This is the only jazz music I've ever truly listened to so far. before listening to this I have always listened to rap or techno. I can honestly say that this is the first song I've heard I would ever call art. Truly, magical.

  • @SirGummicusWourm Welcome to music! Keep searching and you'll find new places in your soul. There's also blues, funk, soul etc :) Start now, there's not enough lifetime for music!

  • So what we smoke weed

  • @MochaColaa Damn strait! Up the vipers!

  • pure magic

  • I got bored so i typed in "so what" and this is what came up

  • @ARZUTURK11 so what....

  • when i heard this, i was like... in a trance. for years, whenver i listened to this, i felt like i knew exactly who i was and what was going on around me.

  • Yeah, this is real music... I feel so... just relaxed when I listen to jazz. Like i'm just taking a break from all the stupid shit going on in the world around me.

  • 93 people dont have ears

  • Ah this whole album is amazing. I love listening to it late at night and early in the morning when it's still dark. I'm 16, wish more people my age were into jazz.

  • @asilentmusical aha, i could pretty much ditto you word for word my man :)

  • @asilentmusical kid, you are a rare breed, i also got into jazz when i was about 14

  • cool

  • Alomejor lo escucharon para ver si les gustaba y al final no fue asi.

  • ¿Cómo puede haber 93 imbéciles que no les guste este vídeo?. Ahora bien, si no les gusta Miles Davis por qué mierda ven este vídeo.

  • You can hear the Instruments say So What

  • It's telling that this and other songs of his from this period have so many more views than the trash he was playing in the 80's. It's a shame, i would have loved to have heard him develop over the years.

  • @TheAngeltoDemon he was kind of sick in the 80s wasn't he? I heard that by this time, drugs, time, and things were against him a bit more than they were on his side. But either way Miles Davis was always keeping-up with the modern age, and in the 80s the modern age was shit (just kidding its an opinion... yay). When Bitches Brew came out, many fans thought it was a turn for the worse.

  • @JimmyPage97 Definitely the latter at the least, trying to keep up with the times but out of the element that made people revere him. Bitches Brew is TERRIBLE. Problem with music is everyone has an opinion on it, and you can't make someone hear what you can hear, but people do have better taste than others. For this, i'm glad Wynton came along and set things on a better path. Nothing gets more sophisticated and complex than Art Tatum, Bitches Brew an example of wannabe innovation IMO.

  • @TheAngeltoDemon Wannabe innovation ...is still innovation. The element that made Miles so revered has always been his futuristic look and lack of complacent music. He played the roll of a "jazz musician" for a while, but he has always been just a Musician and trumpet player. If you expect something of Miles, then your already in the wrong mindset to listen and critic. Jazz was created to break walls, not build them... When Bitches Brew came out, many fans thought it was a turn for the better.

  • yes elvis hung out in sugar hill back after 9/11 and it was a dream and a nightmare at the same time but i will never hear this stuff without thinking about that time

  • Why does Miles Davis music have that sort of grainy sound in the background? Like in the beginning you can hear it. There's songs just as old as this one that don't have that grainy type of sound in the background of their music, but for some reason miles davis' songs always does

  • @Murderocracy probably has to do with equipment. 

  • @Murderocracy its the rubbing of a brush-like tool onto the snare drum

  • cold.music below zero

  • A true masterpiece of Jazz. So smooth and mellow at the same time.

  • what the hell is that gummy bear doing up there?

  • i learned to play this in my band class we sound so good the song is really easy

  • Cosby was right: kids dese days forgot what the JYAZZ...is all about!

  • I've always loved this piece. But when I read Tragic Magic, it makes so much more sense on a deeper level.

  • Adderley es el puto amo.

  • When I hear this, I feel more than good...

  • It is and will always be timeless!

  • Now thats the sort of 'Blue" i like wearing, watching and listening, IM BLUE BABY!!

  • miles davis what can you say but magnificent !!!!!

  • I'm 43-years-old and I just discovered in 2011 that Mile Davis' KINDA BLUE is the best-selling jazz CD of all time. I'am familiar with this music from the Spike Lee films and the Cosby Show among other places. This CD revolutionized the jazz and music world in general!

  • I've been looking for this song for a while, I knew it was Miles Davis but that was all. Finally :)

  • Great Video.

  • i like the version that is a tiny little bit better.

  • how can anyone not like this

  • thumbs down for ads!

  • Hey, let me tell you...jazz may not be for everyone, but it's definitively for me. Just L-I-S-T-E-N to the way he makes love to that horn. Damn.

  • who gives a damn shit about the dislikers...

  • I fall in love everytime i hear this masterpiece again...

  • I found a brand new vinyl cut of Kind of Blue at a local record store for $30!

  • @Rachman1337 Didn't know they are selling gold for 30 bucks these days, hehe :) Cheers, mate

  • @Rachman1337 DUDE! Where is that record store...and...do they have any more copies?

  • Not too hot, not too cold, but just about as cool as it gets. Simply perfect.

  • una delle migliori canzoni di sempre

  • @ Zlotrov Perfect Comment !! & as for the 89 dislikes.... You'll get there one Day; But it you Dont get it first off; You might not get it untill the After Life... But you'll Get It !!

  • i am a twentynine year old woman and i love jazz i love everything miles ever done i also like a jazz man name dizzy

  • unbelievable sound

  • My head hurts from an overdose of awesomeness

  • My head hurts from banging...

  • the bass playing in this makes me want to jizz. and when i do jizz, it will be a kind of blue

  • One beautiful masterpiece ... Just unbelievable. Love it.

  • 89 people need to just go die

  • Mais la,j avoue que je suis trouble wouha c est beau !!

  • C est pas du tout mon genre de musique mas,

  • 1:30

  • Trouble me, trouble thou, I see not to trouble now. I hear only sounds of grace from the golden, swinging blaze, Feel no gloom, within your soul, but make the music's tale be told. 'Cause this my friend, this very tune, would raise any man, up from his tomb. Here he would dance, we all would swing, the movement be, the glory sing. Let's walk to fortune, you and me, within this heavenly melody.
  • Deep, really deep piece of music art... Try listen to this at night with all lights off. When I first heard this, I was unable to say in which time period was this composed... Maybe just because it's timeless.

  • I come to a Miles Davis song on Youtube and OFCOURSE people have to be arguing about race in the comment part. Classic internet people.

  • @dclan86 Agree, mate. Music (besides love) is the only thing that transcends race, nationality, language and all other stuff people fight about.

  • i liked maravilhoza

  • 88 people don't know 'so what' they are listening

  • Miles Davis thought pianist Bill Evans was a genius. Many jazz improvisers worshiped J. S. Bach, whose melodies represented the improviser's ideal of the continuously running line.

  • Miles IS the toast! I....uh...dare I say it...worship that mother fucker! And yes Zlotrov, HE does sound like this. And oh, Haassan1 or none or whatever, I am black, African-American, whatever, and I like the Beatles, (Lennon, McCartney & Geo. Martin were effin' geniuses). Young white kids listened to them, and Mexican-American kids, so did me and my siblings, and my parents, grandparents........and that was no easy thing to accomplish, then or now.

  • @richardmbowman i like this

  • Miles Davis= the butter on my toast 

  • Cold Sweat

  • Ignore the shite comments below. Just enjoy the sounds of miles davis kind of blue one of the best albums ever recorded.

  • Blacks only. (Whites, go listen to the Beatles or Queen or any other whiteboy music)

  • @Haassan1 you must feel so proud to be racist against whites when talking about a song with a white pianist.

  • @Haassan1

    Not.

    I don't have a logical word to speak, your a piece of shit. You are playing solitaire in this world of notes, beats, and rhythms. Not Miles Davis, not cannonball, not sachmo, not count basie, not chuck berry, not ray, not Jimi, not coltrane, not marvin, not mingus, not john lee hooker, not sonny boy, not dizzy, bird, not jelly roll, not billi holliday, not Ella, not Duke, not james brown, not joplin are with you here.

    Grow the fuck up, and get over race dude.

  • @JimmyPage97 Sorry, Im just fuckin with you and everybopdy who reads mine comments. Actually Im not sorry, because I was hoping to get a reaction like this, so I want to thank you, thank you!

    ....Although, I have a sort of conviction that The Beatles and Queen are trually for white people. Have you ever seen a black person (non white) enjoy the music by The Beatles or Queen? I, for one, fucking hate those bands. And Im not black, but im not white either according to sociale 'laws'.

  • @Haassan1 and people should stop saying that The Beatles are apprciated by intelligent people, because I know Im smart (not trying to brag here), Im ridicioulsy smart (okay, a little bit of brag, although it aint braggin if you can back it up).

    And STILL I fucking hate The Beatles and Queen and all other boring western society white people music. Its like intelligent, but not really. Its boring, yes I think the Beatles are boring. Thanks for your attention, peace out!

  • @Haassan1 I have heard all four of them comment about Wilson Pickett and how much he influenced many of their songs. They made many attempts to recreate motown sound in songs like Drive My Car or covers of Smokey Robinson and more. Queen is a little more on the fruity side to me, im not quite the big fan. (and not just because their lead singer was into dudes). But Crazy Little Things Called Love and some others are excellent. Music is love, and you can't love everything.

  • @Haassan1 But as for "western" The Beatles and Queen are on a list of like a hundred musicians who attempted to spread their music over many Genres. I mean Harrison was all about sitar and Indian music for a huge portion of time, and some Beatles songs show it. The beatles went through their "trippy" stage as well. Queen was more on the David Bowie side (again the gay thing not intentional). Queen tried to make operas and musicals and stuff, there were an entirely different band then the four.

  • @JimmyPage97 ...Thanx for the elaborate reply. Just in short, Im not a hater of music of western soil, I hate Queen (and every other music that tries, sounds or feel like it) and in less degree the Beatles. And the 'racist' part about is that I cant think of a better way to label it then 'white-(western-)music'.

    And I want rephrase something: 'Its kinda intelligent, but far from genius'. PEACEEEEEE out!

  • @Haassan1 Well I hate modern day rap, and for me to bunch you, Jimi Hendrix, and the whole spectrum of African-Americans, or Mexican-Americans into that compartment of music, would just be unfair(and very ignorant). What you are doing is stereotyping, and I don't know if you ever took a U.S. History II class...but stereotypes caused a shit load of problems in the second half of this countries history.

    What is wrong with Queen? And what is wrong with the Beatles?

  • @JimmyPage97 im not stereotyping, it just a label. Kinda provocative, which you are obviously very sensitive for. What wrong about Queen is that I dont like the whole 'gay' (as in happy, clean, ridiculously positive. Not being homophobic and certainly not targeting Freddy)-musical-vibe. Nobody it perfect and some people like Queen. One of my best friends likes Queen, but he can help it, he's just very white.

    And Beatles I guess is more of a time related thing.

  • @Haassan1 labeling, compartmentalizing, grouping, these things don't really truthfully work. Your statements are simply ignorant, by its pureist definition.

  • @JimmyPage97 Work for what? In my experience a lot of white people like Queen and Beatles. I know there are expentions (they're called 'Bounty's'. Black from the outside. White from the inside... sorry just kiddin'). Instead of trying to deny certain changes in cultures and genetics, you should ackknowledge and embrase it. There is nothing wrong with being white.... And I want add something to my 'label' instead of 'white-music' it should be 'boring-white-people-music'

  • @JimmyPage97 or 'gay-music' for that ridiculous band Queen and every other musician that makes ridiculous, happy, 'look-at-me-im-so-happy', musical crap.

  • @Haassan1

    Miles Davis is western, doofus. Jazz is western.

  • @JimmyPage97 you must understand what minister farrakhan said no george jones no frank zappa no beethoven honkies arent' any good at music!!!

  • @elvispresley718 I don't see why I have to understand this.

  • @Haassan1 Close your mouth and open your ears (and mind). And, read my comment above. Peace out.

  • @Haassan1

    Uh, yeah, there are millions of 'people of color' who enjoy the Beatles. They've sold close to a billion records, dude.

  • @Rossonero072213 Saying people of color makes u sound like a racist.

  • @cabdbest

    That's why I put it in quotes.

  • @Rossonero072213 Oh, u put it in quotes? in that case, still racist.

  • @cabdbest

    Stop being silly. It's not racist.

  • @Rossonero072213 you're right, lots of black musicians covered them: billy preston, ray charles, etc...

  • @Rossonero072213 let me ask you if elvis john lennon and say kurt cobain all came back from the dea to play some tunes how many brothers would be there about 3 and thats even if it was free! besides we all know beyonce is in another class thatn them anyway

  • @Haassan1

    Wow, you're very ignorant, aren't you?

  • good, but tomasz stanko better

  • Proof of the existence of God!

  • @craignl What is?

  • God was there.

  • @buschinelli007 I guess he was lost.

  • interesting: The black people can proud themselves by create the new classic music, JAZZ.

  • SOOOOO what...SOOOOO what...

  • In 50 years this has been played and covered so many times. Still, this is the best version.

  • @jkoepis

    u r so rite, So What! Grew up on this!

    [GLEN FROM COMPTON]

  • @jkoepis You havent heard mine yet. Its a metal fusion version, check it out on my profile.

  • @Haassan1 sorry but metal fusion beating this? kidding right?

  • @jkoepis Yeah, I am. I tend to make jokes about me being a metal-fan, because metal-fans are fucking stupid, but hte annoying thing is, is that they dont know it. They're fucking stupid, but they just dont fucking know it. WHY????? FUCKING DIE, stupid people!!!

  • So sweet, so sweet... thanks man!!!

  • @Zappstitute quote: 'You're cum on my face... So sweet, so sweet.... thanks man!!!'

  • You can only listen to this music with your sunglasses on.No matter the time of day!

  • It's that time of day, my daily dose of so what. I'm usually looking at the video that goes with this. Apparently there are a few people who need to borrow this CD from me.

  • @amentjam best piano chords ever!!!!

  • Greatest Of All Time = G.O.A.T.

    This album moves me still, to this day.

  • A master piece !

  • 85 people dislike a record that is more than 50 years old and still sells 5000 copies A WEEK! There cannot possibly be that much room on the planet for this level of ignorance.

  • @okdenny Hey, man, jazz isn't for everyone. Besides, what's more important than the 90 or so people who don't like this is the 5,000-plus that do. Let's just all get along now.

  • @BradWest96 god almighty this is the crux of Youtube. I swear theres is more redundant and on-going silly arguments on this website then anywhere in the world. And god almighty it is surly all by people well off enough to purchase a computer with internet...were all the pompous attitudes come from I have no damn clue.

  • @BradWest96 :Well, I agree AND don't agree with you ! Jazz IS for everyone, it's the most accessible music for whom who wants to "ear" it. But people are "formatted" and they jusk drink the "soup" they deserve.

  • @okdenny everyone knows theres a 1 :1000 ratio of biggots to normal people haha

  • This song is the best answer you can give to a woman under every circumstance.

  • A guy asked me once: "Do you know what God looks like?"

    I said: "No, but I know what he SOUNDS like."

    ;)

  • Best fuckin bassline ever

  • Lord&Taylor

  • Cloudy mornings in Seattle and Portland, drinking coffee, writing my novel and listening to Miles, Paul, Philly, John, and Bill

  • The best 5 seconds of my day have been 0:21 - 0:26

  • its scary and erie

  • It's the fist time i listen this song and i am feeling so calm already ....Beautiful song !!!

  • Best jazz album in my opinion!!!!!

    And one of the most influential of his kind!!!!!!

  • I like to turn my chromatic tuner on while listening to miles' solos just to see what notes he's playing lol. It actually works(sadly I can't do it for the bass part though because it's just too dang quiet!)

  • @metalmilitia137 Unfortunately Paul Chambers is quite out of tune and plays some wrong notes during the head so that may also be why your tuner doesn't pick it up. But that is only for the head, he plays some really awesome walking bass lines.

  • @MrDanstud

    0:00 - 9:26 is legendary !! :)

  • BADUUU

  • love it ;o

  • the most sold...

  • :)

  • 82 grooveless souls...

  • this bassline is.... legendary

    

  • @MrDanstud yes indeed...

    :D

  • @MrDanstud Paul Chambers is legendary!

  • I should have said able I know but so what!

    

  • How will I ever be bale to play that on my alto?

  • @ZeuhlEmgalai make that 81

  • No it's not 4/4 ... it's 12/8

  • @pierbover

    You could make a case for that, yeah. It'd have to be a very fast 12/8, though. And traditionally, jazz in swing feel (including this tune) is notated as being in simple time where all the upbeats equal the third triplet. So, 4/4. : )

  • @colourfulwithaU If you play any Jazz song as 4/4 you will suck all the life of it, and you will go to hell for that. Notation is an interpretation of music. Yes, Jazz is usually notated as 4/4 but only for making it easier to read and write. Pop music is usually 4/4, Jazz music is usually 12/8 or 15/8 even if it's written as 4/4 or 5/4.

  • @pierbover

    You're just reiterating the idea of the triplet grid, which is exactly what I was talking about in my comment. But in terms of sound alone, there is absolutely NO difference between 4/4 with triplet feel, and 12/8. However, in many cases, EITHER would be approximate: swing is not always on a triplet grid.

    Also, not all jazz is swung.

  • @pierbover Lol, this very song is in 4/4! Also if you listen to Miles' first solo, there are essentially no swung rhythms.

  • @pierbover Why argue? No need to... It's jazz... you don't need to explain jazz, you just play what your mood commands. Peace.
