This whole album, Kind of Blue, is fantastic and belongs in anyone’s music collection. It changed the direction of Jazz forever.

[@davisworth5114]

Kind of Blue this is a must own order the CD, Order several for gifts, you can;t go wrong with Miles and Trane.

[@xp8969]

Kind of Blue is the greatest Jazz record ever made

[@russellcuffee428]

I totally agree

[@stephenfreel899]

I'm not even a bass player and I can admit that the licks in these songs are great for improv in general

[@TheGrouchDnD]

I listened to the whole album on a rainy night while taking a bus trip in high school for a field trip. I'd give anything to have that night back.

[@jonatopik]

Yesss! Hope jazz becomes a regular part of your channel!

[@vincentadriel3832]

[@dabadc]

9:16 Their reaction in the background when Trane hits that riff, is classic! You know you're a legend when you can get a reaction, albeit a subtle one, from another legend like Miles Davis. You can see, it grabbed his attention!

[@brainsareus]

When they made this, they weren't thinking about being historic; no true artist does.

[@agamemnonpadar5706]

So true. Jimmy Cobb, the drummer in this recording and of course Kind of Blue, said that for them it was just another gig. For Ellington, as told by his son Mercer, it was always the next concert, the next recording session, why he kept the orchestra on the road mostly out of his own pocket. Everything beyond that he thought was out of his control.

[@Christine-hr9rz]

I love hip hop! But really glad you are doing other kinds of music. You Rock MBD!

[@toshirobozdogan2207]

Christine hip hop was inspired by jazz, you know.

[@baconslap9417]

**and blues most of all

[@dcaseng]

Gotta love how there are musicians casually taking cigarette breaks during the song.😂

[@marciamakesmusic]

It's the respectful thing to do. When someone else is soloing you get off the main stage

[@akindele13]

coltrane in the cut, thats a scary sight, love this song. coltrane and cannonball killed it to me.

[@MagetaTheLionHeart]

I was literally named Miles because my dad is a jazz lover, and I grew up playing saxophone. And yes, I can play Take Five.

[@Wonderwoman79G]

That is so cool.

[@dplj4428]

Did Dave Brubeck play miles or the other way around? Who originated that?

[@ThePmfan]

Just get the album Kind of Blue. Even metal heads have that one.

[@johnlake4809]

I need a glass of bourbon. I could listen to this for days

[@jana3705]

It's really cool how you're reacting and paying attention to music from generations before. There aren't a lot of reactors focusing on old music as much, so props to you man. Keep up with these great videos! 😊

[@borisdodgingbullets]

What a great reaction pick! This quintet was truly groundbreaking! The camera shot at 6:14 is iconic. Davis blowin' with Coltrane looking on only to be followed by Coltrane truly announcing himself to the world!

[@OchrisFUT]

My favorite jazz record of all time is Kind of Blue. This is the first track on the record. I definitely recommend Blue in Green from that album. The entire thing is incredible though.

[@Br0ccoliface]

blue in green is incredible

[@FAMCHAMP]

Big ups to Miles Davis And all the Jazz legends for paving the way for Hip Hop

[@jibsmokestack1]

Miles Davis Quintet augmented by Orchestra. Miles Davis - Trumpet John Coltrane - Tenor Sax Wynton Kelly - Piano Paul Chambers - Bass Jimmy Cobb - Drums All legends in their own right. Cheers for doing Jazz. Metal fans seem to get Jazz easier than fans of other genres it seems. As a hardcore jazzer I thank you and please do more. I've got hundreds of mind blowing selections if you need em. Peace!

[@rooster1038]

Don't forget Adderly on the alto sax.

[@NJbakintheday]

I love how all the legends ran in the same circles and seemed to play with each other at one point or another... even mentoring and providing opportunities for the up and coming players.

[@jibsmokestack1]

No other way to wrap your head around this level of talent.

@@2350cmart no one wants to talk about the thousands of hours of practice. Easier to imagine God

[@2350cmart]

@@marciamakesmusic , fair enough, but try and spend the rest of your living days trying to match their talent. I’m not a religious person, and “God” may have been an easy way of describing natural talent…either way, all the practice in the World will not get you very far on the path to their level.

[@silverseto1158]

Lol, "He made the cool walk off didn't he" that's exactly what I was thinking.

[@jimlamenia7812]

I love how Miles just casually falls back and has himself a smoke after he was done playing his solo. The epitome off cool.

[@MrEmanuelw]

RIP MR JIMMY COBB! the last remaining musician from this group ad drummer extraordinaire.

[@kyriesampson7781]

Btw, Miles died in 1991, he was one of the coolest man on the planet. The Primce of Darkness. If you want more jazz, Dave Brubeck is a great starting point along with John Coltrane, Thelonius Monk, Charles Mingus, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, the Blue Note classics from the 50s-60s....then work your way around to the experimental jazz of the 70s like Bitches Brew...

[@johnlake4809]

My son had a scholarship to go to school for Jazz. He played sax, his wife played the stand up bass. Unplanned pregnancy changed their plans.. I really developed an appreciation for Jazz during those years. Their guitarist went on to go to Julliard on scholarship. They got to play with Sinatra's trombonist.

[@ericaveillette6388]

So classy. So smooth. Great on you for doing blues and jazz lately. I hope you're hooked and do more. There's really a lack of reaction channels that cover these gems. Thank you!

[@anthonynunyabizness9989]

I love how you choose to react to some of my favorite genres that almost no one else does. I've seen many of your videos before but today, I saw you reacted to some jazz, and you sir have now earned yourself a new subscriber. Keep on with the funk, the jazz and whatever else you please.

[@ThePmfan]

Miles used a low pressure technique. The sax is the great John Coltrane.

[@RobJazzful]

He also played in the middle register, which has less pressure on the lips, or embouchure.

[@scottwatson8659]

John Coltrane is pure genius!

[@jamescurran9002]

This is the 27 Yankees. That's John Coltrane on Sax, Paul Chambers on Bass. Jimmy Cobb on Drums..greatest group ever formed.

[@devilsatan2973]

Glad you've found Miles! His tunes definitely changed the world of music forever.

[@hiddenflower862]

Thankyou so much for reacting to this! 💜💜💜

[@agamemnonpadar5706]

Love your reaction. You comment the right things in the right way. I hope you will do more Jazz from time to time. Have seen Miles Davis three times in concert during the 80s, even the music was very different, more Jazzrock / Fusion / Pop, his tone was still the same. Seeing him on a stage was a true experience.

[@johnparadise3134]

Oh! I guess this is your first reaction video to Jazz. Definitely do another one. You mentioned John Coltrane. My Favorite Things would be a good choice!

[@jareczek1980]

No matter what he listens to, as long as it is Mr. John Coltrane.

[@wijnandvandenberg4805]

I listened to hard rock and metal from the age of 11 to around 45. Then wanted to explore jazz. Remember searching for the best jazz album just to see what it was like. It appeared to be Kind of Blue by Miles Davis. I did not get into it for the first 3 years but somehow it grew on me. Now fast forward 9 years 90% of the records I buy are Jazz records. My favorite artists are Bill Evans, Bobby Hutcherson and Miles Davis. Think I have around 12 Miles records. I play You must believe in spring by Bill Evans the most and still exploring every day

[@shacharh5470]

You should hear the studio version with that beautiful intro

[@FaceManBuddha]

MD's "'So What" is amazing. I can recommend more if you like, but check out John Coltrane's "In a Sentimental Mood." He was the saxophonist in this video. Namaste Brother

[@tonygumbrell22]

In certain moods this gives me goosebumps.

[@divingchicago]

There were feel good stories about jazz in NY, Chicago, New Orleans, California, St. Louis and Europe. Whites and Blacks enjoyed together.

[@Liz-cmc313]

Wow! Kudos to you for playing Miles David👏👏

[@thebookishbryants]

You got Miles and Trane here. It just doesn't get any better. What a magnificent performance!

[@sigurdlindh9909]

Found your video from a reddit meme of all places, and gotta say: I dig it. You done good. Hope you're well in these hard times. Salutations from Denmark

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

Watch the Ken Burns series on Jazz and buy the music and even just watching the show you’ll expose yourself to jazz. Freddie Freeloader comes next…this is a great album.

[@jimlamenia7812]

The album this is on, Kind of Blue, is imo the greatest album ever made. It's on my record player at least twice a month. When I first heard it I listened to it non stop for 6 months, it never came off my turntable. I hope it's the last album. I hope it's the last album I hear before I die. You haven't really lived till you've sat down with some good bourbon and gave it a listen.

[@elkabong6429]

“The cool walk off…” MBD, you don’t get any cooler than Miles, man! Great pick of a video to present your first Cool Jazz experience, dude!

[@jjpe306]

Glad you're reacting to jazz! There are a lot more Miles Davis songs to listen to, but Charles Mingus is another excellent jazz artist

[@j.t.3798]

This album changed my life! Miles Davis and John Coltrane on the side here on sax, 2 GOATs! Definitely check out more from both of these legends.

[@alexandradecastro5142]

Some forgot that Bill Evans wrote songs too. Love these geniuses. As a jazz artist, this and these are JAZZ Miles is God ❤️ He played in my country, Portugal 🇵🇹, 4 times thanks to the great Luiz Villas Boas in Cascais, Braga and Lisboa

[@NJbakintheday]

Bro, these guys epitomized cool. This was, to me, the golden age of jazz. This song stays in my playlist.

[@sammyjacksonofhollywood1245]

Jazz is the supreme of all music 🎶

[@katryonkelly3772]

Awesome man! Kind Of Blue is in my top 10 albums of all time. You should check out the entire album. Blue In Green is a masterpiece of a song.

Katryon Kelly All blues is one of my personal favourites.

[@davisworth5114]

At 12:56 Miles quotes "Surrey With the Fringe on Top".

[@paulkossak7761]

The great John Coltrane on tenor sax,who would go on to become one of the most influential jazz musician in history.

[@michaelserkey6951]

John Coltrane on tenor these guys are legends.

[@michaelfinlay6341]

Watching this with my little cat. Pretty sure baby is asleep. Outstanding commentary. Miles and his crew were the real thing.

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

Try Moanin by Art Blakey and there’s footage of them playing it in Belgium.

[@jazzmaan707]

This is my favorite Miles Davis song. John Coltrane is the sax player, who is also a legend in Jazz.

[@DKsamps]

There is cool, then there is Miles cool. A whole different level. BTW this alone was enough to make me subscribe to you. You do have a very lucid grip on music not seen in most reaction videos.

[@Crashj7f67h]

I recommend Grover Washington - Black Frost or Grover Washington Mr. Magic. I'm 23 but I remember my grandfather listening to this kind of music in the car along with Bill Withers, and George Duke.

[@nairbas392]

Crash That’s awesome man. Have you listen to the George Duke and Billy Cobham album before? It rocks.

[@Crashj7f67h]

@@nairbas392 I haven't listened to Billy Cobham before.

[@rickschaut8366]

I’m a little late to the party here, but when Miles and crew went into the studio to record Kind of Blue, they didn’t have any sheet music. Just some rough sketches. And, with the exception of one song, you are listening to the first time the songs had ever been performed from beginning to end. It’s one thing to improvise when you know what everyone else is going to play. It’s another thing to do it all together as a group. If that doesn’t blow your mind, I don’t know what will.

[@dawudabdullaah6977]

On the album the pianist was the great Bill Evan's, he was white. He wrote the album liner notes and some of the charts too. This album introduced the world to modal jazz, which influenced everyone, including rock musicians.

[@duhusker4383]

The GUY on the far side you can't really is simply one of the best musicians of the 20th century that goes by the name of John Coltrane.

[@elkabong6429]

Not a bad track on that entire LP (Kind of Blue)! The quintessential Miles Davis!

[@johnparadise3134]

I think you should have maybe listed to the studio recording, but I’m only three minutes into you video and I’ll watch it through. Very interesting and worthwhile footage btw (which I’ve seen before). But the studio recording is so iconic (a word I hate but it actually applies in this case) that I think it would have been the best choice. It also contains my favorite version. I’ve never liked the live ones as much. That recording session had such a magic to it! That being said, I’m enjoying your video and your reaction. Glad you are digging it. Probably everything I just said is at least half wrong. From the way you are enjoying it this is a great choice! I was thinking you might enjoy the studio recording better and have a better reaction, but since you really got into this it was a good choice. But do listed to the album Kind of Blue which starts out with So What. Also listen to some Charles Mingus! Do a reaction to Charles Mingus, if you haven’t already. I suggest Passions of a Woman Loved or Tonight at Noon from the album Tonight at Noon.

[@nodcarillol.6550]

John Coltrane (saxophone) solo is Meshuggah in its Infancy.

[@dansunder7minutebeerreview271]

To paraphrase Lao Tzu, "The Jazz that can be explained is not the true Jazz", this is so Zen it is ridiculous. I love jazz but don't know a lot, I just appreciate the awesomeness..

[@nairbas392]

Everyone that listens to hip hop has to respect the past of the creative geniuses of black musicians like Coltrane and Davis.

[@farrellcityking1]

Anyone that listens to any music has to respect Miles and Coltrane. They are mountains among mere ants.

[@mycolortv1]

This live version is better then the studio version

[@alexandradecastro5142]

Try to check out Charles Mingus - Fables of Fabus as well. Awesome too

[@robertc2413]

Miles is magic

[@justinestes6400]

You can hear a lot of Coltrane's influence in metal. If you listen to guitar solos you hear those riffs and runs. Bird too. Trane's My Favorite Things is a must listen!!

[@mikemilne]

And by the way, that's Coltrain playing that mind bending sax solo on So What

[@strive8793]

Miles Davis - Bit ches Brew is a classic if u wanna peep more of him!

[@kyriesampson7781]

Of course the saxophonist is the great John Coltrane. Miles had the Avengers of Jazz behind him, actually two sets! The great Bill Evans played on the studio recording btw, so Miles did actually have a white guy in his band in this era

[@jibsmokestack1]

And that was controversial among blacks until they heard Evans play!

[@nairbas392]

Evans was an absolute genius. My Foolish Heart is a song that really resonates with me personally.

[@beaujac311]

Kyrie Sampson:. I had to go all the way to the last comment to find that someone mentioning Bill Evans. Metal Biker Dude thinks that the only reason a white guy would be with Miles Davis is because they needed a token white guy. If he knew Miles he would know that Miles would never pick a token white guy to be in his band. Bill Evans was on the studio album because Miles thought that his sound fit best with the particular songs he played on that album. Miles didn't think that Bill Evans could swing so he had Winton Kelly play on those particular songs that swung like Freddy Freeloder and the title track So What.

[@jamesfitzgerald1021]

@@beaujac311 all true about Miles and Evans. His choice of Wynton kelly on Freddie Freeloader was perfect for that song too.

[@dplj4428]

The intro where miles plays, the band sounds like a song I recall as “Trader Joe’s”. But my memory is from decades ago. Was there music with that title or as part of song?

[@abcrx32j]

Actually with this, you killed two birds with one stone (jazz pun intended), the guy in the sax was John Coltrane. Everyone that passed by Miles's band became great if they weren't already.
