In the vein of the best. I put forth this.

It has been with me since the first time I heard it.




When I was at MiraCosta junior college in Oceanside, California. I had a studio apartment that was a converted garage. It sat up on a high hill and I could see the ocean in the far distance. There was a table with a chair that I hung my coat on the back of. At night I use to light a oil lamp as the only light. I would play this album. And in my mind the Band was in the room. Every note played through me.

The music tool me away on some voyage where there was only the sound of the music playing.

Historical notes on this album:

"Kind of Blue is regarded by many critics as Davis's masterpiece, the greatest jazz record ever recorded, and one of the best albums of all time. Its impact on music, including jazz, rock, and classical genres, has led writers to also deem it one of the most influential albums ever made. The LP was one of fifty recordings chosen in 2002 by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry, and in 2003 it was ranked number 12 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. In 2019, Kind of Blue was certified 5× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of at least five million copies in the United States."

I have heard many people that are career musicians say:

"If I could only have one album to play for life; this would be the one I would choose."

Whenever I play "Kind of Blue" any type of tension melts away.

I listen and I just get carried away. It kind of puts me in a trance.

When vocals are not in music. It makes you listen differently. You interpret the music differently.

You are left with what the instruments give you through the musician.

Miles has always been a musician who has got to me. No real way to describe how or why.

re: Miles Davis.

Agreed about "Kind of Blue". Your comment about interpreting things differently when listening to music without words is spot on. This is most definitely in the case of revolutionary jazz.

But being a little bit younger than you, My favorite Miles Davis stuff was the fusion albums with John McLaughlin, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, etc....

Since it's a video thread, this one (in part) seemed to fit:

I copy this.





Karen Carpenter was great singer. She could hit the lows like none other. The best female singer by far IMO. I know that is subjective, but she is at top no mayyer.matter.

She was big bottomed woman. She didn't deserve to die because of that. I wish I could have been there to try to tell her that. It makes me sad she died trying to meet a standard.....such a waste.

And that's the thing, like you said it is subjective. I was a big Carpenters fan as well. But this being subjective, this this is my favorite female singer.

Dude, are you really calling a woman who literally starved herself to death a big bottom woman???? She had body image issues but was underweight if anything, especially at the end. Sad.


There will be no playoffs. Can’t play with who we have out there and compounding it with garbage playcalling and worse execution. We don’t have good skill players on offense period. Browns 20 - Bears 17.

I'm a fan of every Miles incarnation. He was a "musician's musician."
If you get what he was doing, you're a musician, too- whether you play an instrument or not.

From Bop to his last statements, he has never bored me, and has always challenged me.

Thanks for your vid. That jam was a great example.

I feel perhaps you didn't understand what he was saying. "....she was trying to meet a standard..." Meaning, an unrealistic standard.

My high school best buddy's older brother played played baritone sax in Buddy Rich's band.

He tuned me on to Myles and Coltrane when I was 16. I am now 75.

I have been a fan of Myles all these years. He is my go to playlist guy. His music is so expressive to me. His sound floats.

I get carried away. "Round Midnight" and "Kind of Blue" I wore out the vinyls. Bought them again. When digital music came out and I played those albums off Spotify. I got pissed. It was like half the music was being played.

I still have the vinyls but my turntable doesn't work. So, I bought the CD's.

Love "Sketches in Spain" as well.

In my mind as much as I loved Bebop with Byrd and Dizzy. I thought Myles changed jazz in 1959. I didn't know it in 1959. I learned it 1967 or so when I really got locked into jazz.

I binge music. I will listen to one artist till I feel ready to move on. The two people I come back to all the time are Myles Davis and Billie Holiday.

I will do that.

One guy I have always loved is Horace Silver. Two albums in particular stand out.

"Song to My Father" and "Cape Verdean Blues." He was influenced by East African rhythms.

"Rikki Don't Lose that Number" uses the intro of "Song To My Father."

There is this tenor and trumpet blend backed by these rhythms that is magic.

I have listened to McCoy Tyner when he was with Coltrane. Tyner actually influenced Bob Weir of the Dead.

Another album that I have always loved is. "A Love Supreme" Tyner is on that famous Coltrane record.

I will follow your suggestion and listen more.

I am pretty sure there was a copyright case involved.

Pull up and listen to "Song For My Father."

It is clear as day.

I was trying to find some sort of clever response, but of course there is none. The only thing I can say is that I hope I've brought momentary joy into an otherwise lonely day.

Let my post be a lesson to us all.

There's another song taken from a section of that song that I hear clear as day, but I can't quite figure out the song ... but it's a Stevie Wonder song, IIRC.


Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

John 14:19 Jesus said: Because I live, you also will live.

As I mentioned earlier, I like songs with a story and someone who can make you feel the story they are telling. While not the most talented singer, Leon Russell was one such artist.



I think that Van Morrison also fits into this category.

First off I love Randy Newman.

IMO he is one of the great songwriters. He can write a sensitive love song that can bring tears. He can write stories.

This song is a song any old guy can relate too. Funny and true. It has this great New Orleans sound.

I was going to post that Blind Faith video but chose the Traffic one instead. The BF clip was a very early performance of the song. Steve had a rough time with the chorus vocal. Not knowing much about music theory, my guess is he learned over time to drop the vocal an octave or something so he didn’t have to hit that high note so high.
