Miles Davis - All Blues (1/2)

[Dehuman18]

Always been the best music for Nuar movies

[pucksterz12]

The higher I get the better this sounds.

[jonkarbon]

if u listen to this for the first time,, and u dont enjoy it, believe me it s not your fault, its just u have different flavour,,because this one very bluesy,, it sounds easy but it needs DEEP DEEP talent to play it that way.. the more econonoic the notes(tone) the more serious it sounds.. speed is not everything...

[polycarpx]

"There are 8 million stories in The Naked City. This has been one of them".

[trpaetkau77]

here's an idea: don't EVER EVER EVER cut off Coltrane again

[fungusbear]

The best thing EdExel ever did was to choose this piece of their syllabus...it makes school bearable.

[airbrush504]

can u believe i was just a little baby when this song came out .

[TheRiffCalendar]

My assignments asks if this songs sometimes is "rubato", any ideas?

[Frida708]

@TheRiffCalendar If the song goes slower some places.

[jlhyz2]

@TheRiffCalendar look up "In A Silent Way" the Miles Davis version. That's rubato.

[BouncyTolstoi]

genius

[Electricdreamerb]

I love this song. No more needs to be said. By anyone. Ever.

[iwannaberock]

Canonball is so bright before the darkness of coltrane.... perfect contrast

[wilkrazor2]

@iwannaberock amen to that. I love trane and cannonball on the same team together. 

[DubizDeMarco]

everytime i hear this work of genius its like i'm hearin it for the first time

[Progrose]

Classic harmony, melody, texture, and feeling. Classic song!

[Jangle2007]

Perhaps it's just too easy...but this is my favorite song off my favorite Miles Davis album. It always sounds just right.

[Crispysmith123]

This is sounding smashing on headphones

[Mochito88]

YOU CRITICS AND COMPLAINERS - If you want to hear some KICK from the same era listen to "Further Definitions" Album by Benny Carter / His band sounds like they're skiing down a slope avoiding the trees when they play FAST, and when they play slow it makes you glad you bought the album as well, very soothing ballads on there. The Best of Jazz -- -- Wow !!!

[zardak111490]

my favorite piece on kind of blue

[simon4186]

[nonijoe2]

Man, I don't care if you got a thousand albums in your collection if Kind of Blue isn't one of them your collection is not complete. On the other hand if you don't have but one album Kind of Blue then your collection is complete my friend. Cannonball was at his best, Man I love this album

[nonijoe2]

Man, I don't care if you got a thousand albums in your collection if Kind of Blue isn't one of them your collection is not complete. On the other hand if you don't have but one album Kind of Blue then your collection is complete my friend.

[AllBluesCat]

@PerryCoxPF93 Come on, man, how can you cut the piece off during Coltrane's epic solo on this tune, that's sacreligious; shame, shame shame, such a great musical work, post the rest of the song.

[PerryCoxPF93]

@AllBluesCat there's a part two, but that 4 seconds to press the video is crucial ;)

[AllBluesCat]

@PerryCoxPF93 Come on, man, how can you cut the piece off during Coltrane's epic solo on this tune, that's sacreligious; shame, shame shame!

[ballsrburning]

f***ing awsome, i love this piece, just started to learn to improvise over it god miles has a beuitful tone in this, stunning.

[hottmix1994]

It's 4:30. The working man awakes. In an hour, he will start his 14 hour shift. He rubbs his stubble with his calloused hands. Life is hard for this American, but he does his best. His kids are worth more than his luxury. Just before he steps out, his youngest daughter appears behind him, still in her nightgown. The tangled-hair gradeschooler hands her towering father his thermos; the busy man almost forgot it. He kisses his daughter, and walks out. The day has begun.

[FoShizzle713]

this is the kind of jazz song you jam to for hours

[Gigalpine27]

This is a cool tune! Really useful if wanting to compose your own music

[iam01]

A Beautiful Waltz

[paramorenom1fan]

like this if you doing it for gcse

[gb5k]

..I had been playing drums for years--yet I never understood 'swing'...I listened to this one rainy afternoon....a month later I was named all-state jazz drummer.... When I heard this song in the movie 'Collateral'--I started crying--this song is SOOO Beautiful....

[gb5k]

As a teen-aged drummer...I never understood 'swing' until I heard this track....1 month later I was All-State Jazz Drummer in my State!!!! When I heard this song in the movie Collateral I almost cried!!!!!

[Perrygallo]

GCSE music :)

[marguton]

é da anni che ascolto questo disco e ora in cd o in iPod non sò a quanti amici lo duplicato e a tutti piace anche non amanti jazz Miles è un grande ,il nuovo Bach.

[ColemanHawk]

Also, some historians refer to Jazz as "American Classical Music". Just an interesting bit of info to prove the point of a guy who studies Jazz at university and has the text books to back up my points!

[ColemanHawk]

@noinwe What are you talking about? Americans loved jazz. During the 10's and 30's it was the favourite type of music. It was just ragtime (Jelly Roll Morton was white) and then swing (Benny Goodman was also white). It was during the Bebop era of the 40s and 50s when musicians went to europe, but not because americans rejected them. Jazz was less popular then, but they left mostly because Europe was a new market that hadn't heard jazz yet. Jazz is american and this is coming from a canadian too!

[noinwe]

@ColemanHawk I'm not talking about what you call Jazz. I'm talking about real Jazz. & the real form of Jazz was rejected by white america, because it was invented by Black America. White america did not accept real Jazz, until after it became big in Europe. Do your homework, my friend.

[donsolo00]

@noinwe There is no REAL jazz. Do your homework. There are eras of Jazz but just as there is no real rap, real rock, real reggae, real electronica, there is no one particular REAL jazz. That's a highly subjective statement presented as fact.

And early hot Jazz as it was called, was predominantly black while sweet jazz was white, they were both very popular in their time. Louie Armstrong was one of the greats of that era. Do YOUR homework.

[navazguitar]

@donsolo00 And that's the truth.

[mayabelle1107]

Mayabelle Recipe: (Guaranteed Good Time) 1. Campsight on a remote lake. 2. Psilocybin Cubensis. 3. High Grade Marijuana. 4. CD Player w/ Kind of Blue on REPEAT. 5. Lover or Friend

[tsab564]

How about we let the musicians take credit, not the fans. Whether or not you were born in the same country, its not yours. Don't try to take credit, don't have so much pride.

[eGuber]

wow!

[banketakoko]

jazz o blues esto es blues

[triclone123]

You can also go back to the history of Brazil and Bossa Nova. Bossa Nova has been one of the oldest forms of Jazz and they do it naturally as it is part of their culture. Yesterday and Today.

[blackcherokee69]

Jazz is as American as Baseball or Apple pie.

You don't have to love it , just respect it. I hate Baseball because the bat is a favorite weapon against the Black man that created this only American Art form.

[noinwe]

@blackcherokee69 Actually Jazz is not as american as baseball. Most of the black Jazz musicians had to go to Europe cause, america rejected the art form. Yes it was formed by black americans, but never let "america" take any credit in this wonderful art form.

[joe44850]

@noinwe Yes, everyone knows jazz came from Sweden, not New Orleans or Chicago :-|

[noinwe]

@joe44850 You obviously don't know the history of Jazz. Yes Jazz was created by Black Americans, but is was not accepted by white america. So alot of your early Jazz musicians traveled to Europe, where they accepted it with open arms.

[joe44850]

@noinwe You said "never let america take credit in this wonderful art form". I think maybe you can give America just a little bit of credit for jazz.. I'm not going to continue this post, as this argument is going to get really idiotic.

[donsolo00]

@noinwe you're very backwards on this one. Jazz was the big crossover for colored people into high society during segregation. Jazz was the only truly integrated form of music for 50 years.

Jazz went to Europe for various reasons but RnB was becoming Americas pop music as Big Band died out. Europeans dug on bop just as hard as Americans. It was Bebop and beyond that was jazz no longer pop music but art music.

[noinwe]

@donsolo00 I'm backwards & you use the term "colored people". You are dismissed.

[donsolo00]

@noinwe I'm sorry for using historically appropriate language. That's a red herring if I ever saw one. Good attempt to dismiss my valid points because you took issue with my particular usage of the term "colored people." Of course, if you opened a book, you'd realize that every interview, liner notes and other first person accounts used the term as well. I wasn't using it to disenfranchise an entire race of people.

[noinwe]

@donsolo00 It you would open a book, then you would know that may black jazz artist moved to Europe, because they couldn't make a living in this racist country. Yes a few Jazz artist made it, I guess you can call it making it, cause though they could play in some of the white establishments, but they couldn't eat, drink or use any of the facilities. But alot of the pioneers like Ellington & others took the racism cause, they saw a bigger picture of not how it was but, how it could be.

[donsolo00]

@noinwe I agree that many moved to Europe. Europe has a strong tradition of Jazz. Some of my favorite players are European and today day has a stronger scene. You are correct that only a few made it, but they did do fair financially. My whole point, and your whole point has been that this was the wedge that broke apart segregation in this country.

What were we arguing about?

[noinwe]

@donsolo00 One more thing, apology accepted for using inappropiate language.

[octeern]

This is music.

I don't have to say more..

[sinhog]

Thanks for putting this up from vinyl ,,,, CDs don't make it !!

[eddieriverbank]

COOL!!!!!, ONLY FROM MILES!!!!!!

[thelastdaysmessenger]

I wish that I could fornicate with this music, producing babies of omnipotent physical musical beauty that transcends time and space, bringing harmony and peace to everyone who hears it.

[ghost61982]

Classic, wonderful and totally cool...

[rorshachfan]

[Nowhereman90]

This is my Favorite tune in the Album, Its soooooo awesome. Laste week i started to listen to this record, lying in my bed with the lights off. Great Experience

[tristramshandy3]

@Nowhereman90 I did the same thing on mushrooms- it went from a great experience to a transcendent one.

I highly recommend the experience.

Actually, I was tripping too hard and freaking out when suddenly..... tah-dah!....I remembered Miles. The notes hit my ears like a silk blanket over a wet baby.

[TheCollegeboy70]

listening to miles davis makes me wanna neva put down my trumpet i jus wanna be great like he was

[victorwootenfan]

The music is so intense, yet so calm.

[tokeification]

oh the solo @ 1:46 is so, so amazing

[sacredgeometry]

@tokeification i agree although as a saxophonist i have to say cannonballs solo in this song just makes me so happy. It just wreaks cool!

[THETRUTHISLIKESOAP]

THIS IS PURE MUSICAL HEAVEN!!!!

[deni100crane]

[mournstar6]

My favorite tune to, listen and play to; however, the entire album is a masterpiece!! It's hard to say what my favorite song would be, since they are all so good.

[deezvids]

[ladycat629]

Oh Yeah!

[JimmyPage97]

[liveguy]

First was exposed to this song by Spike Lee's "Mo Betta Blues" flick....UBER classic. The song and the movie. Women instantly drop draws for this tune....HAHAHA! Okay..just kidding....sort of.

[msolso]

To those that know this song and all it's solos by heart, 1:36 up to 1:46 to me are the best :10 because you know it's on once the solos come around. Miles, Trane, Julian, Bill? Legend.

[runeskyler]
