First geard this album 59 years ago. Still love it. All Blues, one of the best grooves of all time.

[@gmgroucho77]

The first sax on All Blues was Cannonball, followed by the deeper toned sax of Trane.

[@mattreynolds612]

...like watching in slo-motion and you get to see (hear) all the details... Sorry 4 too many comments. But it's cool to watch someone discover something you already love. ✌️🎶

[@L33Reacts]

No, comment more! I appreciate it and all of your thoughts. I might not respond to all but I read all the comments :)

[@mattreynolds612]

This shit is DEEP Bro! Like dark water. Enjoy. It blew my mind the first listen 35 years ago...🎶🎶🎵🎶✊✌️

[@L33Reacts]

Isn't it crazy how fast time goes? 35 years. This album must have been a great backdrop to the past 3 decades for you:)

[@mattreynolds612]

Walking in Gotham in the rain Liked your falling rain ☔ comment

[@L33Reacts]

Thank you! That's what it sounded like to me for sure

[@poptart4260]

Man Lee , you re going to be a professor in music history if you keep this up !!

[@dreweasterbrook2003]

It certainly is posible. IMHO you should start writing a bit Lee. This stuff all hooks up and you have a refreshingly open mind.

[@caryd67]

The brush work at the beginning is sublime, just before Jimmy masterfully switches over to sticks.. that style of brush playing is called “stirring the soup”, and it’s difficult to master. After 40+ years of playing, I would say I have a decent grasp, but I still have not mastered this technique. Edit: Good call, patreon guy

[@RonManroe-wb6sc]

The key thing to understand is that most of this is pure improvisation. Miles would come into the studio with a theme or a riff and then the band would just jam. Miles and in particular this album pretty much are the blueprint for modern improvisational music.

[@lisarainbow9703]

Music in its purest form--- created in the moment, with no preconceptions...

[@theeloquentbaby]

Really? Immediate. So fresh…relaxed…real So it’s truly what they felt at the moment.

[@PapaEli-pz8ff]

@@theeloquentbaby American Zen..

[@lisarainbow9703]

I think Flamenco Sketches has to be one of the most gorgeous songs ever created... It breathes. Speaking of the magnificent playing of Bill Evans, with his subtle voicings and movement within the voicings, I'd recommend checking out some of his solo work. "Here's That Rainy Day" is a great introduction to Bill Evans solo...

[@theeloquentbaby]

No rules 🙂 Easy and relaxed. After 64 years and still so fresh. Each in turn…Very neat… Very nice, Lee. I enjoyed your Afternoon Special. Thank you, Lee and Jonathan, for sharing this wonderful jam session.

[@mattreynolds612]

Such incredible subtle complexity. And feel.

[@L33Reacts]

It really is so subtle... you could almost miss it. But the atmosphere and pure class this album radiates is just unmatched. And that's just from one listen!

[@janewells5970]

Some of Miles best! Looking forward to this! ❤

[@ShiverHinge]

One would think this was an autumn music but it feels like springtime to me.

[@timcardona9962]

COLTRANE!! - That was Coltane tearing it up on that last solo from "All Blues" and he is the next level of your Jazz exploration.

[@mattreynolds612]

Yup it's Him.. JC

[@stevenparker4684]

I remember coming home from a long stressful day, I'd put my head phone on and detox to this album.❤

[@jamespaivapaiva4460]

"I have 'Miles' to go. Before I sleep". Desert island album1 Peace & Love.

[@mrheem44]

Flamenco Sketches is just holy shit. That was the peak

[@paulwhite7972]

They saved the best for last. Flamenco Sketches is just beautiful. My CD copy comes with notes that explain that this album was Duane Allmans bible. The Allmans may have been a southern rock band, but their influences were deep. Every note on Kind Of Blue is in exactly the right place. All improvised too. Incredible.

[@jeffreytaylor6257]

Sketches is a masterpiece. Bill Evans solos in a beautifully restrained style. Just beautiful. The sax solo at 16:20. He holds that note. It's perfection. Thanks for this. JT

[@jonathanroberts8981]

Weird statements from Evans: “I had to work harder at music than most cats, because you see, I don't have much talent." And “Everybody talks about my harmonic conception. I worked very hard at that because I don't have very good ears." Just about everyone who has ever listened to the man’s work would disagree. Perhaps though this humble approach is what made him so good.

[@artromano2419]

Best jazz album EVER!!

[@hopeklemann1]

miles is my love

[@steveowens2505]

Saw Miles in club around 1977. The room was transported to another dimension it seemed. I think he said “thanks” once. Barely looked up entirely performance, but he was all about the music.

[@rodneygriffin7666]

Deep shit! Incredible Album! Fantastic band!

[@daveseidnergd]

Wow, Lee, I didn’t know you did side 1 last week. I’ve got to go check that out and come back to this. So glad you are discovering Miles and Coltrane.

[@matthewstroud4294]

Miles Ahead is my favourite Davis album, I think.

[@XFLexiconMatt]

Wow, this is amazing you are listening to this, I am a huge Miles Davis fan. A lot of Rock players were influenced by this modal music.

[@XFLexiconMatt]

Some of the chord changes are similar to some of the chord changes Steve Howe are using in Yes ""Roundabout", there's little doubt Progressive Rock players were listening to this.

[@L33Reacts]

I can definitely see how those prog players were influenced by this. I bet this was a mind blowing listen in 59 and it still is in 24. I'm glad I got the chance to do this. Thank you for watching!

[@XFLexiconMatt]

@L33Reacts I have 10 all time favorite bands that influenced me, but Miles Davis and John Coltrane impacted how I think about music, anyway, thank you for the reply!

[@hoppers13]

You just can’t equal utter perfection.

[@AP-gb3eh]

Great Artists-Master Album

[@ed.z.]

Cannonball plays ALTO, Coltrane on Tenor saxophone.

[@paulwhite7972]

You just blew my mind. I always thought it was the other way round!

[@michaelabbott9080]

OK, l am a huge prog fan,l love Yes,Crimson,Floyd etc...but this is different,,its another level ...now you a listening to a higher plane of music....this is simply the work of a genius....and the best way to listen to it is when driving alone on the motorway/highway after midnight....

[@1953jazzman]

A wonderful thing to do when listening to this album (the next time you do it) is to play it at night when you can sit or lay back when the room is pitch black and there are no visual distractions..... and just let the music wash over and through you! I've done that countless times......

[@mattreynolds612]

Lol Jimmy Cobb & John Coltrane🤐

[@L33Reacts]

Amazing work. This was fantastic.

[@patrickscutella836]

One great decision i made in my life was to hitchhike to Cleveland with a friend to see Miles in 1972. I was 16 yrs old. I’ll admit i quite understand what he was doing but i knew i was witnessing something extraordinary. It was his electric material. After Bitches Brew.

[@Jonni1027]

I adore Bill Evans!!!!

[@srj108]

Best jazz album ever!

[@jaydelrosario4232]

It might sound familiar to something you heard in childhood because you might have watched Charlie Brown cartoons with Vince Guaraldi’a jazz soundtrack.

[@bryanhale5254]

Just wait 'til you get to Bitches Brew where Miles invents Fusion with John McLaughlin on guitar

[@DanBoyd1111]

You should check out Bill Evans Peace Piece. It will spund familiar but not so much!

[@bryanhale5254]

Yeah the harmonies created with transitions are fucking sublime .....by the by the last song off only money by Frank ....a little explanation for that one ...see he was inspired by Edgar Varese who did a composition called Deserts and Ionizations it was a game changer for Zappa who was hearing doo wop and rythym and blues ...and nothing wrong with that but Edgar took Frank to another place Zappa put a quote on a few of his albums from Edgar Varese ...quote "The Present Day Composer Refuses to Die

[@poptart4260]

Sounded like at 8 20 he lost his place , what do I know , right !

[@axolotl8694]

thank you for going here. but damn… you know you’re opening a huuuuge can of worms? how deep you wanna go?
