Most notable is the version from the classic Miles Davis Album "Kind of Blue", with personnel: Miles Davis (trumpet), John Coltrane (tenor saxophone), Julian "Cannonball" Adderley (alto saxophone), Bill
Evans (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Jimmy Cobb (drums). Recorded March 2, 1959 at Columbia
Studios, New York City. Soloists are (in order): Davis, Coltrane, Adderley, Evans (with horns),
Chambers (final melody). Written by Miles Davis.

This song is one of the first and most famous instances of modal jazz, where the harmony is based on a scale rather than a rapidly changing series of chords. So What's bass line and melody are based on the D dorian scale, and the only changes are in the "B" section of the song, moving up a half step,
before returning back down. The solos follow this same progression, using D dorian for the first
16 bars, Eb dorian for the next 8 bars, and D dorian again for the last 8.

The lesser known "So What" is from the 1951 album "Conception", a standard that was also performed by Chubby Jackson featuring Gerry Mulligan in 1950, immediately after Miles' "Birth of Cool" sessions.

Paul Chambers drives this cut unquestionably. While everyone in the group makes an individual statement at some point, it is the double bass that starts it up, settles into cruise control, and then drives it into an almost otherworldly destination. Even the last few measures of fade out are anchored in the bass interplay to such a degree that it makes you hungry for more...and more this greatest recorded jazz ensemble of all time gives, in the remaining tracks of Kind of Blue.👑🎺🎷🎹🎸🎶

There's a story that Miles was invited to the White House during the Reagan administration and Frist Lady Nancy Reagan asked him what he had done to be invited to the White House. He said, "I changed the course of music two or three times. What did you do, other than sleep with the President?" In some versions of the story, he used a cruder term.

Busta Bass

@Warren Doris
And you sir, are "in no position" to say what constitutes judgment, based solely on your opinion. Whether I play (whatever your point was there) or not is irrelevant. Miles' extensive body of work and all accounts I have observed from the many musicians who worked with him, attest to, and in some cases parrot what I said. I doubt you ever played with him, or really knew him for that matter. Perhaps you should think about that before jumping so deeply into challenging facts that were well documented for decades, by people who knew him!

Warren Doris

@Busta Bass At least he was a genius! You on the other hand are.in no position to judge anyone. Do you even play st all?😎😎

According to his biography he was actually very positive about Nancy Reagan, though he said something like that to somebody else during a dinner after meeting the Reagans:
[President] Reagan was nice to us, respectful and everything. But Nancy is the one who has the charm between those two. She seemed like a warm person. She greeted me warmly and I kissed her hand. She liked that.
Davis then described an encounter he had with an unnamed politician’s wife at a dinner given by Secretary of State George P. Shultz later in the day, during which he claimed to have responded to her comments about jazz with a form of the “what’s so important about you?” put-down:

At the table where I was sitting, a politician’s wife said some silly shit about jazz, like “Are we supporting this art form just because it’s here in this country, and is it art in its truest form, or are we just being blasé and ignoring jazz because it comes from here and not from Europe, and it comes from black people?”

This came from out of the blue. I don’t like questions like that because they’re just questions from someone who’s trying to sound intelligent, when in fact they don’t give a damn about it. I looked at her and said, “What is it? Jazz time or something? Why you ask me some shit like that?”
So she said, “Well, you’re a jazz musician, aren’t you?”

So I said, “I’m a musician, that’s all” […] “Do you really want to know why jazz music isn’t given the credit in this country?” […] “Jazz is ignored here because the white man likes to win everything. White people like to see other white people win just like you do and they can’t win when it comes to jazz and blues because black people created this. And so when we play in Europe, white people over there appreciate us because they know who did what and they will admit it. But most white Americans won’t.”

She looked at me and turned all red and shit, and then she said, “Well, what have you done that’s so important in your life? Why are you here?”

Now, I just hate shit like this coming from someone who is ignorant, but who wants to be hip and has forced you into a situation where you’re talking to them in this manner. She brought this on herself. So then I said, “Well, I changed music five or six times, so I guess that’s what I’ve done and I guess I don’t believe in playing just white compositions.” I looked at her real cold and said, “Now, tell me what have you done of any importance other than being white, and that ain’t important to me, so tell me what your claim to fame is?”

Paul Chambers was one of the greatest jazz bassists ever recorded. His rhythmic pizzicato interpretations on the double bass throughout his brief lifetime, anchored many of the classic jazz standards performed by the true immortal giants of jazz. He also included more arco (bowing) than most double bassists during that period. A testament to his classical training. Kind of Blue is just one example of his musical mastery. It also happens to be the best.👑🎵

Uhhhhh, just for the record, the drummer on the Kind of Blue album, on which "So What" is the lead track, is Jimmy Cobb. It was recorded in 1959. Tony Williams was around eleven at that time. He didn't join Miles' legendary Quintet (Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Wayne Shorter) until he was seventeen, c.1965. Still, that Quintet went on to establish itself as one of the many iterations of talented musicians, through which Miles Davis shaped the ever changing form of the genre known as jazz.👑

Uhhhhh...that would be Jimmy Cobb on drums. He preceded Tony, who was the drummer for Miles' subsequent quintet, which also included Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Wayne Shorter on saxophone. This legendary ensemble along with Jimmy included, Paul Chambers on double bass, Bill Evans on piano, Wynton Kelly on piano for one track (Freddie Freeloader, which he wrote) and of course, Miles, 'Trane, and The Cannonball...Timeless!

Daniel Pacheco

5y↑7

+Vaibhav Joshi well that certainly isn't the definition of Modal Jazz, but it can be a characteristic of modal songs in general: On non modal jazz the soloing based on arpegiating differently in every chord (say autumn leaves) - the more chords you have the more soloing possibilities. In modal jazz you can wreck and mess around in one or more modes/scales in a very basic chord structure.

I am almost scared of listening to this too much. I think I first heard it in the sixties when I was about six or seven. It had an extraordinary effect on me as I did not really understand music and experienced it as an almost hypnotic force. The past fifty plus years has educated my ears, but my obsession with music has also meant things are less mysterious. My fear is in losing the vague memory of how it affected me all those years ago and instead understand it too well.

You know a song is memorable when you can go a year without hearing it and still sing the solos note for note. Man was this one to remember.✊🏾

It's says that, after Reagan become president, he invited for dinner a lot of people, while Nancy Reagan wandering among the people, he saw a black man.
She went to him, and whispered in his ears, Sir what did you do, to deserve to be here? The man answered her with confidence : I have changed the direction of music five to six times.
What did you do to be a first lady, other than been fucked by your man?!!. Nancy seen ran away quickly.
That man was.
Miles Davies.
Rest in peace gentleman.

Miles was a musical genius and innovator! Yet there were clubs that wouldn't let him walk in the front door. He was very outspoken about racial injustice and white privilege which ACTUALLY was prevalent in his time. He lived it!! I wonder what he would think about what's going on today! I think he would say.............this! Continue to RIP Miles!

I have to say that ever since I learned about the history of jazz in high school, I fell in love with that genre ever since. To me, jazz is very fascinating and even intoxicating as well.

Amazing tune! Love it! Thanks for share it! En 1959 veía la luz "Kind of Blue" un extraordinario trabajo de un extraordinario Miles Davis acompañado de un sexteto no menos extraordinario, el álbum abría con esta pieza mítica, "So What", compuesta por Davis y una introducción para piano escrita por Gil Evans. El álbum fue elegido en 2002 para agregarse al 'Registro Nacional de Grabaciones' de la Biblioteca del Congreso , y en 2003 ocupó el puesto número 12 en la lista de los '500 mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos' de la revista Rolling Stone. #ClassicMonday #Jazz

Este año se han cumplido 60 años del "Kind of Blue" de Miles Davis, editado por Columbia Records el 17 de agosto de 1959 es considerado el álbum más importante de la historia del jazz. Cinco piezas que abría con este "So What" grabado el dos de marzo de ese año. Impresionante álbum en el que Davis se rodeó de genios como Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers y Jimmy Cobb. #classicmonday #jazz
