What a band! It doesn’t hurt having John Coltrane as your saxophone player.

[@waynejohanson1083]

And even Cannonball Adderley.

[@TheDivayenta]

Or Bill Evans.

[@tonydelapa1911]

@@TheDivayenta Bill Evans was (a wonderful) pianist! He inspired an album I like by David Benoit “Letter to Evan.”

[@waynejohanson1083]

That is the 1st track on Kind of Blue. One of the greatest albums you will ever here.

[@tonydelapa1911]

What I see in you, JM, is a growing sense of and appreciation for who and what came before you, before your grandparents perhaps. The thing with wells and rabbit holes both is they are generally much deeper than we could have known without going into them. You are a great young man and giving all music serious and enthusiastic consideration. As always, thank you.

[@ed.z.]

Miles asked Coltrane why he took such long solos, he told Miles he didn’t know how to end the solo. Miles looked at him and said, “ you take the damn horn out of your mouth”. Thank goodness Coltrane formed his own group and changed sax playing for the next hundred years.

[@nancywest1926]

Understanding Jazz is like enjoying leaves tumbling in the wind. Theres a pattern, but sometimes unpredictable..

[@TheDivayenta]

You are way out in front with your marvelous selections! Quincy Jones used to play with Miles as did many great jazz artists. I love this album, “ Kind of Blue”. Not a bad track on it! ❤

[@AliasMark69]

His horn is the stuff of Legend. Very nice addition to you education into Classic Music, Rock or Jazz.

[@michaelbeckwith6177]

I like to think I know a lot about music but reading your comments I realize there are people who know even more so thanks for all your comments!

[@leemcintyre9490]

I was Lucky to have a Dad who liked Classic Musicians like DAVIS. DIZZY GILLESPIE! The TIJUANA BRASS! 🎺🎶 It Still puts a Smile on my Face! I can still Remember hearing this over Dad's old Hi Fi stereo . And seeing Dad kicked back with a Drink, low Lights , and Bopping his Head as the Music 🎵 Flowed! Great Reaction! Hope you Enjoyed it as Much as I Did! ✌️

[@tonydelapa1911]

YES! That’s what we need to do: appeal to JMBoy to take on Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass “The Lonely Bull!” Can you imagine any reactor doing that one start to finish? I would be thrilled with one song and believe once heard he would want to hear more. Such an enduring album. I think the entire album is shorter than one a erage song from YES - another band we need to persuade JM to explore. 🙂

[@z0n0ph0ne]

Great stuff. His album Kind of Blue which includes this is a jazz classic.

[@woodyheywood8792]

"No man has broke so many hearts with so few notes" Miles is the epitome of beyond cool...I was lucky to have seen him play numerous times. Kind of Blue was unreal...everyone improving under Miles & Two Maceo's direction. He wanted the artists to be free to play what they felt.

[@kentinatl]

John Coltrane..IMO the greatest musician ever..a Giant

[@AliasMark69]

Miles Dewey Davis III was an American trumpeter, bandleader, and composer from East St. Louis, Illinois. He is among the most influential and acclaimed figures in the history of jazz and 20th-century music. If you played in his group you had to be among the very best at your instrument, as this song demonstrates. Miles Davis is arguably the most influential jazz musician of all time and I wouldn't disagree with that assessment of his impact on music.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

Was that John Coltrane on sax and who were the other players?

[@AliasMark69]

Every Note, The Real Thing, Gotta Love It. TOO COOL, again

[@michaelbeckwith6177]

In college I knew some people who seemed to love two things Miles Davis and good pot!! I really like Miles but it's always been The Beatles and Dylan at the very top of the pyramid!!!

[@AliasMark69]

Mine too. Have a Splendid Day

[@derekthomson4043]

Astounding, the musicianship is otherworldly. The black and white video adds to the authenticity of the music. Love it.

[@BrianR.]

John Coltrane played the sax on this.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

More Miles, please. You've got such a boss journey goin' on - Excellent !!!

[@janetf23]

The entire 'Kind of Blue' album, that this number is featured on, is definitely worth hearing.🎺🎶 edit: While we're on a blue note, you might want to treat yourself to this cool, west coast jazzy number by my lifetime trumpet playing crush.💙 Chet Baker's "Almost Blue" : kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGWzfK2wbZaga8U It's short, bittersweet, and blue moody.

[@jonathanmurphy3141]

“Almost Blue” was originally by Elvis Costello, who after his ‘new wave’ music origin, started to show his other influences like Jazz, and Country. Costello offered Chet Baker that tune, (1980-‘81) and had him play his trumpet on “Shipbuilding” too. Chet Baker was in bad health, due to heroin. He couldn’t sing, and he had a smooth voice in the 50’s-60’s, yet he could play his Trumpet.

[@janetf23]

@@jonathanmurphy3141 Yeah, Elvis Costello's wife Diana Krall, also a favorite jazz pianist, did her version, too in 2004. Her 1993 Stepping Out album is still one of my most played treats.

[@mycolortv1]

Uve always said this is the Coolest..Best 9 min ever put to music....better then the album version which is play to fast...Wynton Kelly on Piano...The late Pail Chambers {Who od at 28} on Bass...The one and Only John Coltrain Sax..And The Great Miles Davis

[@j.t.3798]

You just watched two of the greatest musicians to ever walk this planet

[@Blue-qr7qe]

Thixs is a sweet companion to the studio version released on the KINDA BLUE album. Always magical to see/hear where artists take their studio releases when they go live. Thanks for the wonderful music you're reacting to -

So much talent in one place

[@aeubanks0]

Miles brought the Heat, Trane brought the Ice!!! It was a spiritual journey!!!

[@AP-gb3eh]

These men are Giants .☮️

[@tapduff]

Classic! The best of the best!

[@terenzo50]

Miles said that the minute he put a mute on his trumpet every woman in the nightclub uncrossed her legs. The whole Kind of Blue (1959) lp is beyond perfection. Try Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers lp Moanin' (1959) with Bobby Timmons, Lee Morgan and Benny Golson.

[@noracola5285]

I second Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers!

[@misterk4580]

THIS is Soul Music.

[@AliasMark69]

"MOTOWN".... Yes, JM, you were correct, it was a Record Co in Detroit Mich. Pack your bags because you're headed there soon. It was called "Hitsville" for good reason, well over 100 Great Hits from several artist. "The Funk Brothers" were a group of Detroit-based session musicians who performed the backing to most Motown recordings from 1959 until the company moved to Los Angeles in 1972. The most significant song ever produced at MOTOWN... full length album version.... The Temptations - "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone"

[@arnetiawilliams1750]

He is definitely amazing

[@kevinkuschel2457]

One of the best

You already have the Best Dylan Playlist.... But it really needs this one added asap....Bob Dylan - Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

[@ed.z.]

According to QuestLove, this is where James Brown got his classic horn sound on “I Feel Good”.

[@AliasMark69]

Best Guitarist I've ever heard or seen... Al Di Meola - "Elegant Gypsy Suite"

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

I saw Al DiMeola in the mid-seventies...quite impressive...there were so many hot guitarists around in the seventies, jazz or otherwise...we were so fortunate to have such a smorgasbord of music and players back then...to paraphrase Joni Mitchell, "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone...they took music paradise and put up a multi-storey, mixed-use, financial/industrial/commercial enterprise"...

This was relaxing 😎😎 much needed thanks

Frank Zappa…. Considered a genius on many levels, an artist with an eccentric style who can play virtually any musical instrument with superb skill combined with his nonconformist lyrics made a place in music history unlike anyone else. With his extremely talented band “The Mothers Of Invention” created some of the most iconic and legendary songs that are a MUST HEAR for anyone serious about discovering the most,,, shall I say “Memorable” Music… “Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow”… full 10min plus version.

Miles said, at first, John would shred until hell froze over if you didn't stop him.

[@arturocostantino623]

There’s so little to say because its so good.

[@allisonlopez5089]

There was an album released after he died. It was a mix of then contemporary and Miles. A tribute. He said he was going to the hospital for a check up, never came back out. So sad. Great talent.

[@noracola5285]

Nice! Try Moanin' by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Señor Blues by Horace Silver, and Jitterbug Waltz by Fats Waller 🎹
