An album I have heard all the way through, a hundred times, at least. It never gets old. One of my coolest Jazz cat meetups was with the drummer on this session,.the late Mr. Jimmy Cobb​. I got to see and hear him play, but the battery died on my camera, and the only shot I got that night is a cell phone picture, of the two of us. He was a treasure. I have had the honor of meeting and hearing Jazz elders, who played with Miles and Coltrane, and Bill Evans, Cannonball, and more.

Absolutely. Maybe the smoothest Sax solo of all time.

Agreed. IMHO the 'Trane solo is least 'Bluesy' of them all, yet beyond the typical Bebop Swinging and blowing, which was what Miles wanted all along. Coltrane's solo was like seeing a flower in bloom; or in his case, a genius in bloom. #respect

Picked up a couple of my friends while visiting the ATL in 2004. They are good dudes but had zero affinity for jazz....so sad! En route to a spot to eat, Jeff asks, Who is this? I gave em the history lesson and Dave chimed in that he had to pick it up. The brother asked for total quiet while it was playing....hilarious but wise! Just like that....CONVERTS! We all know the story of what happened in 1959 regarding this album and it still serves the purpose. Music is very personal and this standard has withstood the test of time...probably always will. Kind of Blue truly set the tone!

This music is so complex, and the instrumental solos don't always make sense to me, yet they still flow beautifully and harmoniously together, ultimate expression, and improvisations are absolutely genius.

[@absoluteai41]

Not to be a contrarian here, but it isn't super complex when broken down. I'm learning the walking bass line. The progression and melody is shown in the Real Book and you can find it on youtube. If you learn the scales and the instrument it is only a matter of keeping everything in formation and in time. Otherwise, the complexity is a matter of unfamiliarity. If you want to learn it do some studying and you will see it is fairly simple. Idk what instrument you play but I hope this helps a bit. Once you crack the code it is not too bad. Take lessons if you need. That's what I did and it helped tremendously. Again, this isn't me taking a shot just to say that you can understand exactly what is going on by learning a bit about music keys and scales. It helps to appreciate it on a new level.

[@adekolaajakaiye9650]

In his book with Quincy Troupe, Miles said that in writing for the KOB album, he wanted to get away from chordal complexities.

[@KnzoVortex]

@@adekolaajakaiye9650 To my ears (and no further sources) it seems it was supposed to be a move from chordal complexity, to inspired melodic work with deep attention to playing something really meaningful. I suppose that can kind of look like complexity especially to a less trained ear, depth is probably better.

[@adekolaajakaiye9650]

@KnzoVortex I can't tell a flattened fifth from a fifth of gin(apologies to Dizzy). I trust my ears and go with what I like. Simplistic? Maybe. Kind of Blue knocked me out the first time I heard it, and it still does. I 'sing', scat or hum along along to the solos.

This is truly, truly, truly, an amazing album.

Something I personally reckon that anyone who has some semblance of music taste should listen to, at the very least once. Its a shame that an absolute multitude can't even stand a few bars of jazz, let alone a whole album, and most despise the stuff, despite how much absolute skill and knowledge goes into even the most mundane solo in the diveyest bars. Oh well. Here's to hoping my young generation raises their children to have halfway decent taste.
