Sixty years ago, In 1959, I was a senior in high school. My friend, Bob Nalley, bought this record in the only record store in town. I visited him almost daily. Every time I went over, this record was playing. It became a sort of anthem for that time. We joked that the school should have played it at our graduation.

Melancholy, yet deeply romantic. It’s like a gray room filled with burgundy red roses.

One of the most beautiful things I have heard in my life, the world needs Jazz at present times

Imagine getting your heart broken in 59 and Miles drops this

63 years old, and it could have been written yesterday. True art is timeless

This song got me feeling like a mysterious detective standing in the rain in 1930s new york

Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Bill Evans playing together, what more can you ask for?

Sadness in joy, blue in green, they go together through life.

Music like this doesn't need lyrics. The instruments speak to you without words.

One of the most beautiful things I have heard in my life.

Bill's piano outro is beautiful

It's funny reading the comments here. To me growing up poor, black and in the projects of Brooklyn, NY, my parents were friends with Miles Davis (dad was a jazz saxophonist of the era though not famous but had famous friends and cohorts). This tune was always a celebration of rainy days, since staying in the house to hear it played on my dad's phonograph with the scratchy elements, soft brush strokes of drummer Jimmy Cobb and the beautiful piano of Bill Evans..And to this day, my photo at Sonny Rollins birthday party will always remind me of Mr. Paul Chambers, one of the bassists that died too young.

Even the word "beautiful" is tragically limited in its ability to convey the deepest stirrings of the human spirit that this music evokes.

this song is medicine for the soul

When Coltrane enters, I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes. Master Piece!

This is the composition I use to get people into jazz. It never fails.

So melancholy. Blue in Green feels like pain finding its way towards peace. Then it gets there and even peace can feel lonely and empty.

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

Miles Davis. Such a genius. No one is better able to grasp the existential poignancy that is life.

This whole song is a damn masterpiece but there’s just something that I LOVE about 2:27 when John Coltrane comes in. It’s pure bliss really.

This seems like the kind of music that can't be written, it needs to be lived, played out. I don't know if that's the case, but it sure feels like a mood, a moment in time.

It reminds of my dad. He used to listen to jazz every saturday drinking his beer. I was a teenager and there I was sitting in the living room listening to his stories of when he was in the army.

Cold winter evening, the smell of dark roast coffee in a dimly lit cafe and the ghost memories of you happy in another point in time with someone who will never cross paths with you again. Oh boy this one speaks to me deeply... nostalgia and melancholy.

Doctor: you have 5 mins to live me: but this is 5:38 God: its fine

This song is why I named my son Miles.

Bill Evans wrote this tune. Miles was 'the spark', 'the instigator'. He gave Bill a piece of paper w/ two chords symbols; Gm - A+, and asked: 'What would you do with that?' Bill took it home and the next day he brought in 'Blue In Green'.

Jazz as thick as a smoke filled room. It don't get much better than this. Timeless.

I didn’t know that Melancholy could Sound So Beautiful ! 🎹🎼💫⭐️

This masterpiece is like an old dear friend, i keep coming back time and time again

Much credit to the genius that was bill evans

Coltrane's solo is sublime.

One of the best jazz albums ever made

Simply, my favorite piece of music of all time. To be a fly on the wall during this recording session would have been worth being killed by a swatter.

R.I.P. Jimmy Cobb. They're all gone now.

Evans is the perfect the compliment on the keys.

Perhaps my favorite song, ever. Just so perfect and ethereal. Heavenly. Bill Evans playing on this is other-worldly. Miles should have given Evans a percentage just for that opening.

first time listener of jazz music and Miles Davis, tears fell from the first note - What a beautiful song!!! Very powerful

The most romantic, ethereal, dreamy experience!

This makes me feel like I'm holding a soggy bouquet of flowers on a sidewalk in a nighttime new york rain, realizing she isn't coming. Edit: Thanks for all the kind words, but this never really happened to me. It just wanted to portray a feeling this beautiful music gives me when I listen to it.

This was my little hidden gem back in 1998 high school. I would hear this alone and try to find some type of peace ☮️.

This song should not only be categorized as a beautiful composition, but also a prayer as well.

This is simply the most innovative and comprehensive piece of music ever written.

This is a song I'd listen to while strolling the streets of Paris, London and Copenhagen 📻🎼😎

I’m 25 years old , I be walking thru downtown Baltimore listening to this reminiscing about everything 💯

It's like Miles sang and spoke his feelings, through that trumpet. I imagine misting rainy, walking down a side alley in NYC, circa 1950, and Mile's collar turned up to the rain, feeling lonely, even though he was so loved.

I want this to be the last music I hear before I close my eyes forever !! Just put Kind of Blue on a loop ... I'll die with a huge smile on my face !!!

My favorite tune from Kind of Blue. My eternal respects to Mr. Evans, that piano all over the song was mesmerizing but particularly the outro. The sax from Coltrane was also so elegant, so "tidy". Beautiful song.

Other Genres Of Music Are Heard By The Ears, But Jazz Is Heard By The Heart..

When I hear this I hear Wisdom, and experience.

Intimate. Infinite. Sublime. Poetry. Thank you, Bill Evans, for yours.

Good jazz is like an endless adventure for the mind.

I was sixteen when I first heard this album. Blew me away. Might be the best Jazz record ever produced. Genius!

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

Literally the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard

Lots of things have come and gone, but this song remains a constant for me. It’s always there to remind me that’s it’s ok to be sad, sometimes it can be beautiful.

2021 still the masterpiece of Kind of Blue.

Makes me cry every time. The most beautiful piece of music ever recorded for me

Dear future husband, I pray you turn this on when I'm feeling blue and dance with me🤞🏾❤

Gorgeous music. From melancholy to a perfect evening, having drinks with friends or complete strangers.

This is the quintessential lineup, no wonder this whole album is a masterpiece

Simply put...this is a perfect song.

At the time of the album's recording, Evans was all of 29 years old. To this day - like Miles, like Coltrane - inimitable, ingenious. The mind blows.

I just had the most healing, liberating, cleansing cry. This is soul medicine - a friendly, wise hug.

JAZZの、名盤中の名盤中の、名盤!🎉 今なお、世界で毎年　10万枚以上売れている!! 今なお、新鮮!!!!

In these days of bands taking months to produce albums this masterpiece was made in days...

No words will ever Express how beautiful this song and Kind of Blue is to me . . . Absolutely spellbinding

I grew up with this Lovely music! Brings me back home with my Beautiful Parents that have since passed. We’re from New York! This hits home and my home and my Heart 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Just when you though things couldn't get better, there comes Coltrane and his divine sax intervention

It's 1973, you're sitting in a corner of a smoky pub in the damp streets of Chicago. Its midnight, but still, dim lights and the scent of oak set the mood for this day till dawn. A cold cup in hand, foam streaming down, and you lay there, in that timber rocking chair cradled by the sound of delicate cymbals and soft, dreamy notes from the piano. The most beautiful jazz...

This quintet/sextet. Miles's towering genius. That precise moment in time. My lord, artistry at its pinnacle. The stuff of gods and angels. What a gift to humanity.

The story goes that Cannonball admiringly perplexed with Coltranes playing asked him what he was doing. Coltrane said, ' it's just the blues'. Cannonball replied, ' Well I ain't heard the blues like that before' Timeless recording.

This song is so beautiful; I want it played at my wedding.

Its beauty is sublime. A song for the ages.

2:46 so simple yet so incredible beautiful, so much passion and touch in one single phrase, oh my goddd

Loving Miles Davis his Smooth Feeling Jazz Music Forever LOVE Never Stops Loving LOVE🌎

Might be a bold claim, but this is what the peak of music sounds like to me.

This reminds me of travelling on bus back from art school at night. i played this album on my walkman constantly. melancholic but optimistic also. love you miles davis

One of my favorite songs. It's so serene, and slightly melancholic.

The hidden hero of this song is the incomparable John Coltrane

You sit down in this cafe, and finally realize there can be peace, whatever that means, but it still feels nice, that deep sense of calm, for 6 or 7 seconds old relationships drive through your mind, but you choose to just sit in this cafe, and be present. You allow yourself the luxury of true relaxation. Stay well friends.

miles - blue in green ..happy birthday ! R.I.P.

this is the first jazz album I ever bought. I had no clue who Miles Davis was or anyone else on this record. It simply was the title of the album that intrigued me. Something about "Kind of Blue" spoke to me. I had never really listened to jazz. I remember just putting this on and from So What to all the other tracks I just thought wow I never knew music could be "this" like most I grew up on pop music and the radio. This album led to a love of jazz for the past (wow!) probably 30 years now. Bill Evans has become my ultimate go to guy for jazz. There is just something about him in that its sophisticated but also just so aesthetic. I will never "re-live" or be able to "hear" this record for the first time again but that memory is deep inside my psyche. It was simply the day I started to understand that music could be so many things.

It's so weird yet beautiful how we all contacted with each other.. and sometimes with out us knowing that we are.. Its just in the air, in your eyes, skins, minds, so weird yet beautiful..

Absolutely fucking brilliant

could listen to this all nite

Never have I heard a song that brilliantly conveyed the pain the beauty,the love.

5 minutes never felt longer. Absolutely wonderous piece.

これに落としていくのはすごいわ 2年かかるのが納得

Ahhhhhh.... this sound... beautiful, innocent, painful... the sweet dreamlike memories... ugh... sigh... papa tu me manques.

a while back, i used to listen to Kind of Blue every day for about a year, and i am still mesmerized by each and every track from the album, every time i listen. timeless classics.

This makes me feel an incredible stillness I love it

Not a single bad note or rhythm. This is pure music, of the highest level.

legend never dies, that's one of my favorite tune!!!

That beging is just everything.

Love the piano/ bowed bass outro

J’écoute dans cette soirée de fin d’été, les airs merveilleusement mélancoliques de Miles Davis . Par sa trompette, il crée tout un univers composé de langueurs et de sérénité . Cela m’apaise et me détend. Génie superbe !

I was lucky to have a musical education, Miles was one of the first CDs that my Director recommended.. At that time Backstreet boys was on everyones stereo lol. If im in a mood. I can always fall back on this record and snap out of it...

For me, no other piece of music does a better job of evoking melancholy than Blue In Green. 💙

i am listening this for the first time and getting goosebumps every 10 seconds.

Best selling jazz record of all time. Imagine life without this . See , you can’t .
