SOBRE KIND OF BLUE, MILES DAVIS

In the original recording, Miles Davis (trumpet) featured John Coltrane (sax tenor), Julian “Cannonball” Adderley (alto sax), Jimmy Cobb (battery), Paul Chambers (acoustic bass) e Bill Evans (piano), besides the participation of Wynton Kelly (piano) the range Freddie Freeloader. Released in 17 August 1959, Kind of Blue It marked the beginning of modal jazz. All the album's compositions became standards the genre, used constantly until the present day by musicians for study and performance.

Song titles were given after the recordings. So What meets traditional ideas, as the melody-based question and answer, and innovations such as the melody on bass and modal harmony. Freddie Freeloader It was the first to be recorded, a tribute to Freddie, a bartender friend Miles who attended all shows. For many years I have questioned the authorship of Blue in Green, if in fact would only Miles, with so many elements Bill Evans. In 1986, Miles Davis took to his official biographer, Quincy Troupe, Bill and he wrote together. All Blues It was written in progress 4/4 Miles and the studio decided it should be 6/8. Flamenco Sketches reflects classical influence and impressionist, and at times the Iberian sound.

Kind of Blue It was very well received by critics and public. The album was one of the most provocative event in the Jazz since the early 40, playing without stopping at all jukeboxes, radio stations and jazz clubs. And even though an impeccable band, she was scrapped in 1960 and the members formed their own groups, following their careers as leaders.

Paul Chambers died in 1969 TB, with 34 years and similarly Wynton Kelly on 1971 with 40 years. Cannonball died of a stroke in 1975, Bill Evans died in 1980 pneumonia and ulcers.
