Blue in Green - Miles Davis

[Geminireply1]

Beautiful!

[smokelake53]

this music certainly sinks deep into the soul..............xo

[imajeepster]

love love love miles...

[Rawffuls]

The case that makes you, and the case the breaks you. Which is it gonna be, Phelps?

[christophercoltrane]

my favourite tune

[kitazono7]

How can a person "dislike" this????????

[MarshalMartian]

it was told to me, that the title is suggesting a specific manor of listening to the song.

said the blue in the name mean the feel and emotion in the sound, and green, the color of the substance you've smoked beforehand.

is this false? or commonly known?

it's just what i was told.

[KALPA432]

Seriously? 24 dislikes? It is inconceivable to me that those 24 morons even found their way to this video!

[hogarony]

Y las lineas de este inmenso globo terraqueo se han enredado nuevamente... y aqui te espero, te extrano y quiero.

[suzettegm]

I'm with the everlasting (?) Cigarette lovers here. Adds to the focused yet contemplative mood of the music. Yes you can envisage all kinds of things. Emerald when you stir it in. A lake mirroring trees. Rothko perhaps. Great post, like a work of art. Thnx.

[candlewaxrecords]

This vid is so fing fresh i love it it's tragic that it cut the song off

[artfusions]

it's been a bad day 11/3/11

[astergiou88]

I have been looking through all the comments to see how people have interpreted this piece and what it means to them. Im glad that people can still take so much out of music. i just wanted to add that though this piece sounds sad, it always makes me think of what values i want to hold important throughout my life and all the great memories i have had. Thank you miles davis & bill evans!!

[L0nghornfan25]

@astergiou88 Me Too! ha

[jontyvictor]

How this video adds to the perfection of the piece i am not sure, But it does and i thank you

[BiffBallbag]

It's perfect

[brunoneverland]

i love this song,

excelent video

[harvestcheddar0]

oh Miles you have my heart.

[rimu5]

Feels like the passing of decades of lonliness

[bjroberts65]

SEXY!!!...This song can STILL bring down the PANTIES!!!

[ezekieloak]

This song was written by Bill Evans according to eveyrone but Miles Davis, who claimed to have written it himself. But listen to that right hand allthroughout! I vote against Miles's greedy claim.

[mediamuseX]

@ezekieloak i think a good statement is that they both wrote it. either way, it's my favorite piece of jazz, along w/ evan's trio's version on 'portrait in jazz.'

[humilitantmilitant]

jazz? more like jizz...

[tatacass1]

Que som lindo, doce e melancólico,encantador.

[kountzer]

Nice narrative pafenwick, except for the cigarette smoke, cough, cough..

[Guitfiddlejase]

@kountzer The smoke adds to the mood does it not?

[daddykriket]

are those newports?

[PTRPokerface]

This epic songs demands higher bitrate!

[WishfulSinful65]

I find this song incredibly beautiful. 

[skonerr]

@WishfulSinful65 : you're not exactly the first one :-)

[raiki15]

watch?v=iO2-n6ol26c

Compare these two.

[keniapowa]

This song will allways be special for me

[MrJonblair99]

makes me want to smoke MORE cigarettes.

[selfcleptomano]

El aliento de Miles se siente como una bocanada en el espíritu, escucharlo es dejarse llevar por una sensación más que por un sonido, cada vez que siento sus notas por dentro sucede una ola dentro de mí, es el aliento de mi propia sensación, es el aliento de Miles filtrándose por mi ser

[manuelbondsito]

en verdad que es muy profunda esta descripciòn,, claro que cada quien tiene su forma de sentir la musica, , pero en particular la de usted es ,,,,'' hermosa''

[digitazz]

argh, the video stopped the bill's beautiful ending...

[Jazsngr]

My roomate had this album. Blue in green...what a great title...The Blue in what comprises Green,which is blue and yellow, which in our society is melancholy and sunny (happy)....this piece always makes me sad.

[brownboy9569]

shit man imma make an oldschool hip hop beat out of this

make it sound like something nas or big pun wouldve rapped on

[Mobyman690]

strikes me as too slow for hip hop, but what a tune it is!

[ZHenrique26]

Love this song!

[razelinho]

great

[drums343]

the school sux, i am 15, and i love this.

[intune1234]

Doesn't get much better than this.

[kognac100]

love the music, but i dont see how your video is symbolic to the song.

[MatthewOwnable]

@kognac100

because you're either young or silly or both :)

[86darkhorse]

Video makes me nauseous. Good song, though.

[blacknuss6]

miles was no angel but people misunderstood why he would turn around; mile said he was CHECKING THE DRUMS OUT......IF THE DRUMS ARENT RIGHT YOUR SOUND WONT BE RIGHT AND HE WASNT ONE TO SETTLE ,ESPECIALLY REGARDING HIS MUSIC.

[bagoona]

pure sound...

[1cupofwater]

good stuff

[Chryley94]

My heart just sinks when I hear this. It's one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

[Ozzwooz]

If it's so beautiful why does your heart sink and not soar?

[blotchy67]

@Chryley94 I agree..at the end end when Paul Chambers bows his strings...that is why I listen to music

[gabgotcho]

just listen and love

[zzrobyzz]

kind of blue is magic.....

[blacknuss6]

i saw gamble and huff(famous r@b producers) who said what we hear today is not music in the stirictest sense because its usually just a beat with no melody.real music should ultimately make you a better person,i.e.,more tolertant, broader vision,etc.the best music brings people of different backgrounds together,like hendrix.

[DJCrazyDiamond]

Real music is somethings that is made for the sake of people and not for the sake of a paycheck

[Ozzwooz]

For Miles' ego too; even if he was a superb musician he was still a whiny little egotistical bitch, no doubt that he was a genius though.

[crossbronx63]

He sure was. He would turn his back to the audience, in the later years he refused to do any of this stuff. But musically, he was a genius.

[crossbronx63]

Very little music does that today.

[iloveseanfaris1]

im 15 and i absolutely love miles davis and stan getz and etc

this is music to be proud of not this rap stuff that they play today

[blacknuss6]

you young folks should not be embarrassed about listening to one of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!! I WISH SOMEONE HAD PULLED MY COAT TO MILES WHEN I WAS 15!! ITS REFRESHING TO HEAR OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO LISTEN TO REAL MUSIC!!

[coreywarthman]

it is nice to hear of people listening different styles of music. but i would like to know in your opinion what constitutes real music. Im a music major and am just wondering i like hearing these kinds of things. in my opinion its all opinion on this one. because the 20th century ancient voices of children makes me cringe but some find it enjoyable. i listen to everything from motzart to rap to death metal every persons art is somewhat different but that makes it no better or worse than another

[AlSween]

this never gets old

[CoolCat2527]

TRUE THAT

[pafenwick]

Ah, from none other than his sultry magnum opus of cool composition. The slow snare in the back is the Woman, slowly stepping towards you, the piano describes her dress, her eyes, her smile, and the trumpet is her voice, speaking to you.

The saxophone traces the winding trails of smoke coming from her cigarette, and soon what else can be heard but the adjusting of neckties, the rolling of dice and the clinking of toasts. It communicates the essence and culture of a time passed too soon...

[nurvrax]

Nice wordz

[MrDjalexsensation]

@pafenwick You my Sir are EPIC!

[pafenwick]

@MrDjalexsensation Thanks dude, I've been a jazz fan for as long as I can remember. Favorites are Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk

[waarde2]

@pafenwick Pretty deep, my friend

[milesmuhldoon1]

@pafenwick what great poetry there, pafenwick...very descriptive narrative. takes you by the hand walks one into the dream of it all where you never want to wake up out of it.

[shortcakeslicious]

@pafenwick

your post is sooo awesome!!!

[Rickyewu]

@pafenwick that was beautiful. I kind of thought of all thought of all that, but in my brain made it seem all bloby and dumb haha

[tsigyn]

@pafenwick I respect your work.

[Carthsgtr]

@pafenwick

Pretentious as bro. Yet smooth.

[complexkitty]

thanks for posting this...good stuff

[JuryKing]

doing hw while listening to miles davis :D

[xenos1951]

@JuryKing me too!!!=)

[TheSchoolsux345]

please tell me im not the only teenager who listens to miles davis

[JuryKing]

no ur not im 15, u probly think ur weird for listening to this but ur not, youre a normal teenager

[BloggerMusicMan]

I'm 18 and been listening to Miles since I was 16. Have quite a few great memories attached to his music, and especially this album.

[jhonyswi]

Miles Davis forever

[MrAlekssings]

Miles was a sigarette...

This is my favorite jazz song ever.

Bless you Miles

[LudwigVanDirks]

This music doesn't know what a good night sleep is. Amazing.

[generationx1966]

So many bittersweet memories behind this tune.............sigh

[TheGreatKrystoff]

and isn't it just perfectly bittersweet itself?

[generationx1966]

Yes,Ironic isn't it?

[gasman4011]

This is possibly the best album I own.

Can anyone give me the names of any other artists which play this smooth kind of jazz?

[tropicalpimp]

check out Coltrane or Charlie Parker (who actually mentored Miles ...)

[bradshawvincent]

you might like stan getz especially his bossa nova stuff also chet baker.

[gdal]

yea, try some bossa nova, Jobim jazz masters is good its a compilation of many musicians. but nothing can compare to Miles.

[jazzysaxplayer]

Try listening to Maxwell. A different style, newer, but good.

[putumayo8855]

It's so beautiful it makes you want to cry!

[geostefos]

The one and only (cd) " Kind of Blue" remains still my favorite from jazz music.

[ShakerLouie]

Jazz intrigued me.

I'm crazy about it.

[danswarrior]

the piano rules!!!!

[63Brummie]

Who recorded thi?

It cuts out in the middle...

BLAST!

[iiNDiTC]

flamenco sketches is better.

[frauMEIA666]

mmmmm........cosmic!

[skonerr]

Ewigkeit

[bradshawvincent]

such a lovely meloncholy tune tinged with wisdom as though someone has learned from bitter experience.better to have loved and lost than not loved at all??

[MehefinHeulog]

better to have played a single note on this incredible album than to have played anywhere else at all

ever

[shortcakeslicious]

@bradshawvincent

well written!!!!

[bradshawvincent]

@shortcakeslicious hey thanks! that really is the feeling i get from this song.

[metalgearblue]

The video reflects the mood of the music

Nice work

[bradshawvincent]

is that miles holding the cigarette??

[Nikenine]

i dont think so xD

[tropicalpimp]

miles ALWAYS holds a stogie...

[ibhuv]

bill evans' masterpiece often falsely attributed to miles.. tempo doubling with each solo while pulse remains steady. no wonder no one ever plays it.

[chisoldierld]

how do u anaylis a song without lyrics??

[mongoliandude]

How do you analyse a song without music?

[snerddarplol]

pwn3d.

[kmclemons]

you feel it, just try

[BloggerMusicMan]

Very easily. It's like asking what you think of when you see a picture. I don't just a face or a fruit basket or an open road. There are moods, messages, meanings, etc involved in the picture, and I've had paintings which the above has said more about the issue or the theme at hand than most novels or poems. In some cases all.

Try to think of this like a painting.

[rohw0016]

no song can do it like this song...

[villemurej]

Jazz Divinity.......

[jazzysaxplayer]

I'm in a dimly lit jazz club...the men are dressed in suave black suits & the women in lovely dresses and ruby red lipstick. I'm sitting with the one who makes me happy, quietly enjoying this music. I'm not the one playing it today...a tall, cool, minty drink is delivered to the mahagony table. I sip and relax...letting all of the anguish and stress and horrible human things slowly melt away. All there is is jazz, love, peace, and a delicious minty beverage waiting to be had.

[valambiguous]

....mmm ~_~..mmm... May i please share, your sentimental journey.....there? So very nice.

[jazzysaxplayer]

Why of course! :)

[dppdp44]

~ it´s so beautiful !!! Thank´s for all this Time. ~

[henricodasvezia]

I think this is the most beautiful tune I know. It still gives me goose bumps after hearing it over probably 10 times

[henricodasvezia]

100 times even...

[surfinaustin18]

its sooooo relaxing. one of my all time favorites

[woodyt56]

Whoa. I don't think Miles was of this world. Coltrane too. Give a listen to a number called "Slow Dance" by Coltrane w/ the Red Garland Trio. Warning: it may make you weep.

[DUZOOOOO]

In which album can I find 'Slow Dance' by Coltrane?

[woodyt56]

The album is called Traneing In, by John Coltrane with the Red Garland Trio

[NYCBG]

This is so... this is so... this is so... this is so... I could be searching for the right adjective the next one hundred years. I still wouldn't find it.

Maybe Borges could. But he is no longer around.

[me2579]

So you listen to Miles and read Borges. If I hadn't read your comment first I would have writte the same thing. You too cool Bro.

[NYCBG]

Bro, how about a Rothko painting to top it all?

[bradshawvincent]

for me anyway visual art cant take me to another place like music can.the only exception was once looking at picasso prints on acid!

[NYCBG]

Picasso on acid! YOU DA MAN!!!

[tajto]

hip and beautiful

[gotears2listen]

..is so what we would hear and feel ascending to heaven. its the music of Angels ( and I'm not religious)

[MehefinHeulog]

sweet and lasting beauty

[violinguy1234]

I don't think words can express this one...

[Robmorgan144]

my favorite Miles tune of all time next to flamenco sketches

[harlowfarblast]

Yup. Bill Evans. I read somewhere that he was sore that Miles didn't credit him properly.

[cmg6765]

There are few songs out today that one can realize the musician put their heart and sole into it while playing. Miles Davis does that with most of his music and this is the perfect example.

[bjroberts65]

TOP SHELF

[jennadad42]

Great video- catches the quiet cool of this amazing tune. All hail St. Miles.

[jawor100]

Candles, red wine, woman and Blue In Green.

[floresm951]

goodnight mr davis

[rohw0016]

this song takes you somewhere else..... amazing.

[DeadYetFleshNbOne]

and this has to do with miles davis how?

[Droyd21]

I believe he is referring to Miles Davis's finest album "Bitches Jew".

[Ancaja123]

awesome song

[bjroberts65]

''PERFECTO''

[vasilispol16]

that is great

[Nikenine]

wonderful.

[cashbunnyphil]

je kiffe vachement cet "timbre étrange" Si on connait "Hocus Pocus" ou 20syl, je crois qu'il a utilisé "Blue In Green" quand il a fait le beat pour le chanson "73 touches" Vraiement génial était Miles Davis

[Argonaut22j]

Why is it that I find hapiness listening to such a sad sounding song?

[yourmomisrandom]

because it's so beautifully performed

[YIITRL]

fool

[lifuue]

fisz-polepiony

[KAROLAmaJABOLA]

no słychać tam wyraźnie Davisa, dlatego polepiony tak zajebiście brzmi

[bjroberts65]

GOD I LOVE THIS.

[VenoPL]

and I'm dreaming ...

[skullchukka]

Greatest song ever.

[mountaintop1234]

I sat with Evans copying his music in the back of Shelly's Manhole between breaks as he ate a steak dinner many times as he came to L.A. If we spoke 20 words all the rest was silence. That was the 1st time I realized that there was truly no boundary between black and white...true essence.

[Gabel3DA]

its hard for me to hear this song, i always used to smoke while listening to this, but i actually quit smoking, so its hard to resist against the demand... but nice track, thx for sharing

[sthaer]

It does contain some Evanesque sound-panoramas. Especially that corde where he oppose the major to the minor third.

[DeadYetFleshNbOne]

fuck you eric bo nay

[yogiunlimited1234]

best 2a.m and im drunk song ever

[Discodwill]

i would have to agree 100%, even though it's only midnight... but I'm already "there"

[jbonesrune101]

Bill Is a Genuis, with out him... this song is nothing.... so sesitive

[mikepaniccia]

Wow. Thanks for sharing this. Awesome.

[carsonvaler]

this is SO relaxing!!

have a cigarette looking at stars listening to this

GLORY!

[Danman4u2]

Wow. Can anyone refer me to similar pieces, this is so so cool

[hbadra]

^_^....ahhhh...this is complete musical nirvana.

Long Live Miles!

[abba5555]

Compared to Red Garland or Wynton Kelly or Walter Bishop, Bill Evans sucked.  Bill evans was a boor, a total snooze. His playing should have a warning label: Do not listen to Bill Evans if operating heavy machinery. I just don't get it. If you believe that "less is more", then if he had just shut up and played nothing, he'd be a total genius in the eyes of some people, ie white people.

[elgusano]

This son is a Bill Evan´s composition

[elgusano]

song

[kenjames64]

The most gorgeous and restrained 'Trane solo he ever recorded. It's simply a work of art.

[thath09]

in my head i see a 1940's film noir scene of a dramatized breakup in an apartment between a smooth, fast-talking, bitter man and an emotionally distraught woman in a dress.

[Danman4u2]

In a black dress, as she squints lazily through the blue smoke of the cigarette dangling at the side of her mouth....

[KAROLAmaJABOLA]

klasyk

[hopemark1]

This song took a lot of unselfish playing from these great musician to create a true Masterpiece. I tip my hat to Miles for leaving his ego at the door in order to inspire his band to dig deep and bring out greatness.

[yaris14]

its painfully beautiful..
