My dearly departed 17-year-old tuxedo cat Marvin seemed to love jazz and especially Miles. Every time I would play Davis, Marvin would come lay close to the speakers. On his last night, I played him "Kind of Blue" and its last song in particular here is dedicated to his loving memory.

Makes me cry tears of joy and pain and then I’m back to normal again. Anybody else here in love with this song?

On a bad day, this makes me get out of bed spring clean, bathe and spoil myself with a self-love skincare routine, and cook myself a hearty meal. enjoy a glass of wine with a Viola Davis book, that grounds me and reminds me how blessed I am, indeed what a time to be alive

This is high art. It sits nicely on the same shelf with Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Ingmar Bergman’s Wild Strawberry’s, Matisse’s paintings, and the works of Bach & Beethoven. Like those other works, this one will be enjoyed, studied, debated, and written about for centuries.

Me & my wife dance to this song in our living room in the dark all the time with nothing but the fireplace to give us light, to me you can't get more romantic than that!

It's one of these pieces that plays in your head once in a while at random moments in your day and you just have to play it as soon as you get back home. Pure magic.

Bill Evans composed the soul chords of this masterpiece, original song called "Peace Piece". More people should credit the genius of Bill.

The Legend The Legacy The Enigma The Truth - *_Miles Davis - John Coltrane - Julian "Cannonball" Adderley - Bill Evans - Paul Chambers - Jimmy Cobb_* ...When Giants Walked the Earth...

This is the greatest jazz track of all time.

4:50 Perhaps the smoothed sax lick is the history of music.

Poetry without words.

Listening to the rain, breathing mountain air and sipping a malt while listening to this. Life’s good.

I came to Miles Davis late, but thanks to him I fell in love with jazz.

Read Miles’ autobiography if you haven’t. One of the very few times he addressed the audience was in Philadelphia, where Coltrane grew up. It was Trane’s last gig with the band and Miles told the audience how much of joy it had been to experience Trane for all the years they had played together. This album is as great an artistic achievement as any thing borne from the human mind. And heart.

My favorite song on the whole album

Just as my father did before me, I introduced my young 20 y.o. son to this tune through discussing the album Kind of Blue. Whether or not he would like this entire masterpiece never occured to me. He loved this just as I do. He mentioned to me that he listens to this particular tune while he studies. As a 20 y.o. in college in the late 70's, I prefered to listen to the album with a bottle of wine, a nice meal and the company of a beautiful friend. Which ever, when ever, how ever, whereever and whyever you listen/listened to this album, I know you very likely fell in love with it just as my son does after me and my father did before me. The tradition of generational musical enlightenment will continue!

This album, is the story of Coltrane, his existential crises, you can hear it in every of the solos. his struggle, pain and resignation. He's having a conversation with his two buddies, Miles and Cannonball. Miles is a pessimistic intellectual telling Coltrane, to just accept the world as it is. Cannon ball is telling him the same thing, but in a forget about everything and be happy. But Coltrane refuses to stop asking.

Am still here in 2023 fall. This music gets to me like no other. Takes me back to my humble factory settings. Such a melancholic yet peaceful place. Am safe here.

Miles Davis killed it without a doubt but Coltrane was something else on this track

God damn, Kind of Blue really is one of the greatest pieces of music ever.

I have to say Paul Chambers is doing some of the best bass playing ever recorded. His rythmic and harmonic detail just give every track a holy new atmosphere in my opinion. Wow

This song gave me comfort in times where it was nowhere to be found.

Kind Of Blue is one of the most commercially successful albums of all time and when you listen to Flamenco Sketches you understand why.

Now, in 2021, this remains the greatest piece I have ever laid ears on.

Cannonball's solo possibly the most sublime, ever, in jazz.

Never in a million years I could find words to describe this masterpiece ♥️💫

one of the 5 greatest pieces of recorded music in history!!

I'm a Metal fan to the core, Heavy/Thrash/Black/Prog and a lot of other Rock and genres, but this masterpiece brings tears to my eyes everytime, specially the Coltrane solo, oh man, it pierce my heart.

A true masterpiece.

2:56 That melody is gorgeous

I can't get enough of Bill Evans. Legend on the keys. Such beautiful harmonies.

At 2:03 you can become lost to everything around you without knowing that you are present. John Coltrane was a master of spirituality and takes you on such a spiritual journey that you don't want to never come back to the present. Simply a masterpiece!

When one considers that music is often seen as the universal art, and that jazz is widely recognised as the height of music, and that this album is very possibly the best the genre has ever produced, I don’t think it’s an overstatement to assert that this is quite literally one of the finest pieces of art ever created; irrespective of culture, period or medium of artistic expression.

definitely the best Miles Davis album

I love how when cannonball pipes up it always sounds like he just walked into the room in the middle of the session. Its a clever style and pure improvisational genius for the entire crew on these recordings!

Probably the finest music ever recorded.

As everyone has said this is one of the most important Jazz albums of all time, mind blowing playing. Didn't they record all these tunes in one take. What a joy to listen to it again

Miles Davis is one of the greatest music artist ever existed in music history his music speak for itself.

For Jimmy Cobb, the drummer on this. Godspeed and good journey, Jimmy Cobb.

I adore the pensive melancholy dashed with hopefulness that John expresses.

Unfortunately I do not have a woman or any close friends to listen to this song to. But I still listen to it anyway because it is amazing. Thanks Miles.

I think this was his greatest song ever. I never tire of it... just masters all of them.

Song brings tears to my eyes every single time I hear it. It truly is a thing of beauty.

This album turned my life around!!!

If I had to listen to just one song for eternity, i think it would be this.

This is some of Miles most beautiful music. Love this song and album!!!

This is so soothing! Love me some Miles Davis... Rainy peaceful vibes today !

Perhaps the greatest Jazz album ever ! This music seduces you into the depths of nostalgia and you feel its pain and its joy while touching your very soul!

Play this at my funeral.

Cannonball's solo is the closest thing we'll come to hearing God speak through a saxophone

Pure mastery. The sounds they make.

Jazz was a time...wish I was around for it but I’m glad it’s been recorded

Growing up, I heard he was an icon, but I never had the curiosity, to investigate how genius he was. Going to a red, white, and blue store, I saw a CD, I decided to buy it, I said to myself, "I wasted my life", now I'm a huge fan. Sorry Miles! Better late, than never!

AS I SIT HERE LOKING OUT OVER THE LAKE, AND WATCH THE STORMS MOVE SOUTH. THIS BRINGS BOTH PEACE JOY AND TKES ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD

Flamenco sketches never ages. A song for all occassions.

Classic Album Everyone kills it especially Cannonball!!

Genius is building without a blueprint,Genius in envisioning what no one else can see,Genius is walking by faith on a unfamiliar path,Genius is Miles Davis Kind of Blue The Album!

Farewell Mr. Cobb. You're a legend

Miles was quoted as saying Bill Evans "... plays the piano, the way it should be played." And 6:50 - 7:03 captures just that! Drawing heavily from the work of Maurice Ravel. So heavenly!!!!

I hold my husband's hand laying in the dark with the light from this .....beautiful soulful embracable masterpiece....and I think LOVE IN EVERYWAY....and I look at his hands.. .... ...and I think.... ohhh how I can go Miles and Miles and Miles away again and again 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👌🤝

I forced my late father -- a tenor at the Met who listened to nothing after 1900 -- to listen to all of Kind of Blue. At the end of Flamenco Sketches, he stood up and pronounced that this was "baby making music." Truer words have never been said.

2:54 onward is music that doesn't belong to this world. It continues for about 25 seconds till I'm brought back to the here and now

sublime and beatiful

I know these notes in my head. So powerful.

"Cannonball" Adderley here... immense.

This was the first vinyl LP I ever bought (many long years ago) and the more I listen to Miles, the more I understand the depth of his genius.

the ultimate "bring it down. a thousand " for a man when he going through shit.

I was a teen I loved jazz pick it up from my mother when I use to help my mother clean the house she would listen to, this music and that's how I fell in love with miles and Coltrane and jazz period👍back in the 60s and 70s that was real music!!!!!

The slow beauty that reminds us that goodness always exists, in its most mundane moments - the swing in the park, the neon above the diner, the dog that smiles & smiles & smiles. If there's a heaven, may I die & enter this world that was given & given & given. Thank you.

Quite a while ago, it must have been LP/vinyl days, say, odd fifty years ago, there I was, lying on my sofa, lights very low and I played this record again and again on Philips very simple mono turntable. What does this mean? It is still classical to me and enjoy it so deeply. One colud say: this is Classical Music of 20Th century.

This music feeds my soul.

What else can be said about this, simply amazing. I can’t express enough how much I love the use of Phrygian in this. As a guitar player this and Mahavishnu’s Meeting of the Spirits really opened my mind.

This reminds me of my mom and dad and my aunt I miss them now I’m 57 and they’re all gone and I miss them a lot. They used to play this a lot and a lot of other jazz music and it brings back some memories of my parents and my aunt

Stunning, the nuances and inflections Coltranes ethereal solo

This does I think top off well the greatest album ever made available to the LP-buying audience.

So thankful for the new experiences on the journey. Blessed to hear this ❤

Agree Carter I was in a cafe in NY looking out at the lower east side listening to this a good few years ago they played the whole album as soon as I walked in what fortune

Cannonballs solo is my favorite in this piece even though all are amazing in their own way. His just resonates more with me

Like many of us, I gave jazz a chance, and now I'm a addict and don't want any rehabilitation! A bonifed Jazz Junkie, and I love it!

If this isn't a "go to" song I don't know what is. Mesmerizing. Jazz and music and art at its finest.

The greatest jazz record EVER❤

AWESOME as ALWAYS Thank you Miles for your LOVE and GROOVES🖤💙

Possibly the most relaxing piece of music that I know, which is incredible for music also of such sophistication and creativity. By 2:05 I have forgotten much of my pain and am transported to a magic place. Cool, atmospheric and transformative. The real shit!

My pops loved miles and this tone was one of his favorite to play my pops played sexophone all his life my pops passed away it's been 4yrs he was 85yrs old playing music was his happy place he is Deeply missed by so many people 💔 😢

Miles is of course the guiding spirit of Kind of Blue, and the rest of the players are geniuses as well. But for me, the dark horse of the album is Bill Evans. At the time, Miles was criticized by some in the jazz community for employing a white man when there were plenty of unemployed black piano players around. Miles' answer was, "I like the way he plays." Maybe that's what made Miles such a great artist. He listened to his instincts, not to what people around him would want him to do.

some people calling that track ''jazz'', but i think the modal vibes can connect something beyond the old mainstream jazz used to do, like ( swing, west coast, bebop, hardbop ). there's a other place inner that you can go thought the modalism of Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Cannonball and Trane. they're all Geniuses, perfect matched with this album.

I absolutely love the Miles Davis documentary, I can remember my mom introducing me, and my three brothers to Miles Davis when we were very young.

Great track...listening to this in a dark room by myself!!!! I see old pictures and photos of family and friends of times gone by !!!! Woooooow memories just like yesterday!!!!!!!

A genius , a master and a true virtuoso

Put your headphones on for this one and nothing else matters 💕💝💕absolutely beautiful

"Absolutely extraordinary".

Late bloomer to the great M.D. This song, OMG, this just makes time stop, in my head. I can tell that the band is improvising, and they are so in sync & connected with each other, that all the sounds just flow together seamlessly, like a perfect Mozart or Beethoven concerto or symphony, so naturally, so flawlessly. Just sheer perfection. What a talent. Never forgotten.

Miles takes me miles away from my pain and sorrow, even as I cry listening to his pain.

One of the greatest tracks. On repeat all day

This song, his other song Blue in green are nice songs for a Sunday afternoon, evening sun out clean home, food cooking, laid back kind of day, and a glass wine wouldn’t hurt.

If this music doesn’t move you and get into your soul you have no pulse. This song is heaven on vinyl. Peace

To appreciate this masterpiece even more listen to Bill Evans Peace Piece. Both are astounding.

Me encanta Cannonball Aderley,que sonido y fraseo tiene mas maravilloso!

Miles set the mood

I listened to this when I walked around downtown Chicago on my headphones at night. I felt like I was in a movie soundtrack which my feet carried.
