Davis was at the origins of many styles and trends in jazz, such as modal jazz, cool jazz and fusion.

It is one of the most famous examples of modal jazz, written in the Dorian mode and consisting of 16 bars of D Dorian mode, followed by eight bars of E♭ Dorian mode and another eight bars of D Dorian mode. This AABA structure places it within thirty-two bars of an American popular song.

Many music critics regard Kind of Blue as the greatest jazz record, a masterpiece in Davis's discography, and one of the best albums of all time. The album is considered one of the most influential recordings in history, due to its influence on the subsequent development of jazz, rock and classical music.

The characteristic intonation used by Bill Evans for onset chords: from bottom to top, three notes at perfect fourth intervals followed by a major third, has been called the "So What chord" by theorists such as Mark Levine.

Kind of Blue is a studio album by American jazz musician Miles Davis, recorded during two sessions, March 2 and April 22, 1959, at Columbia 30th Street Studio in New York City and released on August 17 of the same year by Columbia Records. The creation of the record included musicians from Davis’ “first great” sextet, consisting of saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, pianist Bill Evans (who was replaced by Wynton Kelly on one of the tracks), bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Jimmy Cobb.

The same chord structure was later used by John Coltrane for his standard composition "Impressions". Both originate from Ahmad Jamal's 1955 cover of Morton Gould's "Pavanne."

The piano and bass introduction to the piece was written by Gil Evans for Bill Evans (no relation) and Paul Chambers on Kind of Blue.

In the 1960s, Davis assembled a new quintet, in which he invited young virtuosos - Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Tony Williams, triumphantly toured Europe and released albums that are considered the pinnacle of the development of acoustic jazz - Davis In Europe (1963), Seven Steps to Heaven (1963), My Funny Valentine (1965), E.S.P. (1965), Miles Smiles (1967) and others.

Although the track is recorded at a very moderate tempo on Kind of Blue, the quintet's later live recordings, such as Miles Davis & John Coltrane's The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6, it is performed at a fast tempo, and in the mid-1960s, it was performed even faster by the Second Miles Davis Quintet, for example on Four & More.

Davis's recordings trace the development of modern jazz from the bebop of the late 1940s to modern experimental movements.

A new round of popularity began in the late 1960s, when Davis paid attention to electric instruments and the energy of rock music, abandoned the use of themes reminiscent of jazz standards, developed a new type of arrangement (long compositions were cemented with short riffs) and invited young performers - Joe Zawinul, John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Dave Holland, Lenny White, Billy Cobham, Steve Grossman, Airto Moreiro. With them he recorded a number of jazz-rock albums - Filles De Kilimanjaro (1968), In a Silent Way (1969) and Bitches Brew (1970). In the 1970s, Davis established a new type of jazz show on stage, after which he became a frequent guest at American and European jazz and rock festivals.

Among Miles Davis's many accomplishments: creating an original style of trumpet playing that first appeared in the recordings Davis made with Charlie Parker in the mid-1940s and which influenced countless bebop and cool jazz trumpeters.

A new style, which can be described as funk-rock-jazz, was introduced by the album “Tutu” (1986); Mike Zwerin called it "the soundtrack of the decade." Davis continued to tour until his death in 1991.

It's a very difficult question to say which Miles Davis album is the best, but I like Tutu the best. Marcus Miller is also really great.

“So What” is the first composition on the 1959 album Kind of Blue by American trumpeter and bandleader Miles Davis, who had a significant influence on the development of 20th-century music.

An orchestrated version of this introduction by Gil Evans could later be found in a television broadcast given by Miles' first quintet (minus Cannonball Adderley, who was ill that day) and the Gil Evans Orchestra; the orchestra performed the intro, after which the quintet played the rest of "So What". The use of double bass to play the central theme makes the piece unusual. This arrangement was later performed and recorded as part of the Miles Davis album at Carnegie Hall.

The term "cool" first appeared on Davis's 1949 record The Birth Of The Cool, which featured compositions and arrangements by Gerry Mulligan, John Lewis, Gil Evans and John Carisi.

In the second half of the 1950s, Davis became a recognized leader of modern jazz and began to experiment in the field of form and harmony, replacing traditional chord progressions with ostinato bass formulas (albums Milestones, 1958, Kind Of Blue, 1959). At the same time, he recorded (on trumpet and flugelhorn) with the Gil Evans Orchestra suites that can be classified as the “third stream” - Miles Ahead (1957), Porgy and Bess (1958), Sketches of Spain (1959).

Unlike many other jazz musicians, Davis was never limited to any one jazz style. Noting the breadth of interests and versatility of his talent, Duke Ellington compared Davis to Picasso.

Anyone who creates their own playing style is first class, and anyone who can present even one new style is a genius, and Miles continued to do just that. He must have been someone who surpassed geniuses.

The modal principle of this album was not unique either in Davis's work or in jazz itself. In a 1958 interview with Nat Hentoff of The Jazz Review, Davis elaborated on the form of modal composition and its differences from the chord progressions prevalent in bebop, stating: "The absence of a set chord pattern gives more freedom and space for improvisation. When you play this way, you can improvise incessantly." This is a small part of Davis's words about the modal principle, modal composition.
