this is very similar to flamenco sketches

@multipianogod Actually, Flamenco Sketches is very similar to this. Evans was jammin on Bernstein's "Some Other Time" and got the idea for "Peace Piece," which Miles liked (dug?), and used on Kind o Blue a year later as "Flamenco Sketches."

@roflattheworld Most of my fellow musicians--and most of the heavies--never approved of this practise, partially because they never received any meaningful monetary compensation for their efforts. I've had 45 years experience in this industry to know how this system operated.

@rmac1042 Although Bill Evans likely didn't need it, if a musician wanted a song to fly, then you didn't want some relatively unknown sideman as credited with its composition - but everyone would listen to a Miles Davis tune... it's fairly typical because of that...

@multipianogod Sorry to be a snob, but Bill Evans played the piano for Kind of Blue, so it was intentional.

careful here... this guys tone is liable to become your entire life!

@rmac1042 You are one lucky man to have met him. I am a new and awestruck fan already! I wsih I could ve married him and listened to him day in and day out. LOL

@multipianogod Listen to peace piece then

Bill practically wrote Flamenco Sketches and he definately wrote Blue in Green

@igormashine As I've stated in a response last year, I had a one-on-one 3 hour conversation with Bill at his motel in L.A. on his second visit to L.A. and Shelly's Manne-Hole. I asked him point-blank during our conversation, "Bill, did you write both "Blue And Green" and "Flamenco Sketches?"; his reply was simply, "Yes". I think Miles took writer's credit for many tunes by sidemen over the years; this doesn't detract from his genius or musicianship... these things just happened in those days.

This is the version on Blue in Greene (Live). Love it.

@versinsii It is in the sense that you have to know the rules before you can break them.
