Jazz Classics: Miles Davis - So What

one of the many defining songs of the late, great Miles Davis's career. Miles has worked with many of Jazz's greatest musicians including Gil Evans, Bill Evans and John Coltrane (who were all involved in this song in some way). Miles died in 1991, but left a legacy behind of finding the "newest big thing" before it became big. he was even successful in his last few years as his final album saw production and rapping from hip hop producer Easy Moe Bee long before hip hop made it into the spotlight. the album was released posthumously. he was well-known for foreshadowing the beginning of cool Jazz with his album "Birth Of Cool," fusion with his legendary album "Bitches Brew," hot Jazz, and several other Jazz movements. enjoy.

@willwelsh816: It's not a D-7 Eb-7 D-7; it's a D dorian Eb dorian D dorian progression. To play dorian scales, start on the note a whole step below the starting note (example: C major). Then, instead of playing that scale starting on C, you simply start on the next note up (example: D). If that's too confusing, just play a minor scale raising the 6 a half step.
