So What
Miles Davis Lyrics

Sadie Yuhas

Currently 14 and have been directed by my guitar teacher to learn this solo by ear. Let's hope I can get into jazz band for high school!

Busta Bass

@Kyle Neil
It's easy to recognize the greatness of this historic recording. Knowing the music from transcript, and having played its tracks many times over the past forty-plus years, I have a special appreciation for the musicians, the music, and what it all meant to jazz in particular and popular music in general. Peace!👍

Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Bill Evans. A Mt. Rushmore of jazz players.

Jackson Morganfroghin

@JP Ramírez it takes a big man to apologise and you are that big man seriously it's no prob. I'm sure everyone knew what you meant. I try to keep things light in these crazy locked -down days. If you know what I mean. It's tough here in the slammer.

JP Ramírez

@Jackson Morganfroghin yeah, sorry about that typo, I didn't realize until I uploaded the comment

Jackson Morganfroghin

@JP Ramírez Thanks! I was just kidding because you had a typo. You're right this record would be nothing without Mr Chambers. Like Take Five would be zilch without Paul Desmond. RIP Mr Desmond. Let's also remember Isaac Hayes and how he covered Walk on By. and others.

JP Ramírez

@Jackson Morganfroghin Paul Chambers, he is the bass player in this record and he played with other figures like coltrane and wes montgomery

Jackson Morganfroghin

@JP Ramírez We didn't forget him. We don't know who he is. I speak for the whole YouTube Universe. JK. Tell us about Paul.

Amen brother JESUS is the answer for all the world's problems . Just pray ppl know that they have that blessing

Paula Jarrett

My Dad use to listen to this when I was a little girl. It reminds me of times when I felt safe and that nothing could harm me. I thought my dad was a super hero. I thank him for giving me a side of African American culture that I may have never been introduced to. Smooth chill vibes.

Catherine Tihanyi

@James Crisp Jaz was created by African Americans following the creation of the blues expressing the sorrow of enslavement and other musical genres that followed. Actually African slaves brought to Cuba are credited with a major impact on the Latin American music that followed. Music moves around from one person to another. It transcends history and the construction of separate collective identities and It certainly has nothing to do with the amount of melanin in anybody's skin.

TheRubberDuck01

@litigated paradox You missed the point mate.

Jackson Morganfroghin

Was your Dad Keith Jarrett?

RaderizDorret

I'm an unapologetic metalhead, but when it comes time to just chill and relax, it's hard to beat Miles Davis and his contemporaries.

Pete Mills

I never had the privilege of meeting your father but I do know this. He gave you a great gift. I got turned on to jazz when I went to North Texas state university in Denton. It affected me profoundly.

Roy Davis

I am 73 and had the privilege of meeting many of the musicians in this line-up. These musicians are like GODS. When they play it is like they are making a profound statement.

Jonte Deakin

haha bet your dead now

steven gordon

@Wayne Johanson When they made this, they knew they something. I wish I could hear their thoughts some 60 years later on the effects of the album.

Wayne Johanson

What they think of Kind of Blue. Did the realize it was a masterpiece.

Noël Lepère

@Austin Martín Hernández Well, no, there was only one complete take, but not just one. You're listening to the third take here.

Susan Drais

I met many too - it is a privilege! Funny how these kids today, enjoy our era! This is when jazz was jazz, something new and exciting!

Moritz Schippers

I remember when I bought this album in '74. I didn't have much money at that time, I was still young, but I made sure to always save a little bit of my paycheck for Myles Davis's records, among others. I went home and listened it so many time, the record got scratched. Happily for me, my girlfriend at the time had a one of those too, so it was the perfect excuse to go to her house. I still cherish these moments in my memory, now more than forty years later. That girlfriend became my wife, and we used many Miles Danid songs at our wedding! Every time I listen to a Mile Davin song, I miss her. At least, I miss her when we were young. I don't really miss the time she cheated on my with my coworker, before eloping with him at the other side of the country. Fuck you Cahtherine.

Jackson Morganfroghin

I like surprise endings. But this?.......... Was Miles to blame? I hope not.

Sean Butterworth

@Darius Pop and how!

Darius Pop

well that took a turn

Original-Steve

I can dig as deep into the rarest and most obscure jazz as I have done all my life, but in the end, all roads lead here......

Thats like poetry

@Ahsoka Tano I do not know if this would be considered main stream or obscure but...

I wasted my time likewise. Sticking with every member of this band and the Quintet saves time and money.

@Ahsoka Tano listen to Allan Holdsworth :)

Low effort Productions

In our band class one day, we were talking about jazz musicians. Someone brings up Miles Davis. So I say "Miles Davis? So what?" They were so pissed for a second until they realized I was making a pun.

Alex Salinas

Daldie Duckweather

Funny!

Bradley Munn

I applaud you, sir

@Nickhead87 So everybody that doesn't like what you like is a narcissist? Riiiiiight. I disagree :)

gary krebs

that's known as a classic

Inflamed Toe Juice In Harlem

60!? My god....

Mach 2Media

The solos! OMG! Miles: sharp, cool, elegant. Coltrane: serious as Buddha, resolute, other-worldly. Cannonball: a butterfly in a summer's garden, playful, beautiful. Evans: hunched over the keys channelling Debussy and Ravel. Sublime stuff, and it changed the face of jazz in a heartbeat.

Heather Gaultier

@Zack Zallie But make sure you always finish on the Bach, never on Debussy.😛

Heather Gaultier

Beautifully put.🥰

Zack Zallie

Ahh. DeBussy. I love Debussy. Sometimes all I can think about is Debussy.

Jamie Cesar

Everybody in the USA needs to chill out with Miles🙏😎🌎 Peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️

Luke Jarboe

He uses so much space, just makes the end of the first chorus so much better. (Even though it’s already amazing!) As a fellow trumpet player, I wish I was as good as Miles!

Alun49

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.

Alun49

@luis astete canal Gracias por tu comentario. Sí, creo que la buena música nos afecta profundamente y nos afecta la forma en que experimentamos el mundo y a nosotros mismos. ¡Saludos desde Inglaterra!

roconnor01

My late father was a merchant seaman in the late 50's early 60's, and on his trips from Liverpool, England to NYC his ship would dock at Pier 90,West 50th Street,and he would always head to the record stores in and around Midtown Manhattan, to buy the latest releases before they became available in the UK. 'Kind of Blue was one of the gems he purchased,and I've loved it ever since then. Bill Evans' playing is sublime.

Whew, Davis' intro is perfection, and then you have Coltrane coming in and it's even more perfection.

Wayne Johanson

The perfection never ends

Jacquelyn Barrows

Exactly.

Rudolph Jackson

I think Cannonball solo is just as spectacular

Norma Flores

niptuck117 my morning starts of with Alexa!...play Miles Davis

Tom Connell

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.

Nana Berry

@Maurício Alejándro 😂

Ludwig van Beethoven

@Luke Jarboe Beethoven wasnt very liked as a person either, he was rude, impatient, hated authority and wouldnt be scared to tell Kings things to their face. Artists dont make Art to be liked. Celebrities do that shit.

Ludwig van Beethoven

Most people who criticize Miles were White People who Miles always called out when they criticized him first. Miles made beautiful music but he never left Neighborhood over Hollywood. He played w the best, always had the most beautiful women, drove the nicest cars, he was a Pimp and a drug addict, he was also arrested and bloodied by police for smoking a cigarrette in front of his own gig. Miles however was a master at what he did. Millions study his music his statues are everywhere around the world. Yet you dont like him as a person. Booo f Hooo

John Scarpa

Luke Jarboe you know the person Miles Davis? I don t think so....Mr. Davis was so big and important

Luke Jarboe

Tom Connell You do realize that Miles was a drug addict right? He wasn’t really known for being the best person in other ways too. Just saying. I respect the music, one of the best ever. I don’t really respect what kind of person he was. In other words, you can respect the music and not the person.

Misha Purser

I turned 23 today and only just discovered this. My life has only just begun.

jerry Hernandez

The bass and piano are exquisite.

jerry Hernandez

@Lavar J Absolutely

Lavar J

The drummer is on perfect point as well,deep into grove with some great accents and smooth ride cymbal work.

Busta Bass

@Lars Vision
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.👑

Busta Bass

@Lars Vision
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!

Lars Vision

Drummer, Tony Williams contribution is making to a decent drive. A few bumps in the road make it an interesting journey.

Nathaniel Kinsey

Jazz reminds me of my granny who grew up in St.Louis/Chicago during this era, and she and her brother brought me and my brothers on jazz. I knew jazz before I knew hip hop and I'm 26. Everybody calls me old or weird for listening to jazz, only if they knew the benefits of just letting a record play and letting all those notes just soak into you. Its therapeutic for me

Brenden sutton

Nathaniel Kinsey I’m a 19 year old college freshman who learned about jazz from my dad and he also taught me rock n roll too and I love music! So much so I’m taking a college course right now on jazz history

James Roberts

Im 38 nate..same here.. Along with a spliff of dro !!

SAXMAN J

Phuck em.. Jazz is real music.. I can't believe ppl actually think somebody rappin over trap beats think that's music.. Keep doing you homie

Patrick Mcguire

Miles equals baddd Jazz for sure calms the mind. A dollar in my pocket add jazz I'm there 😎😎😎

nagi champa

As much as I love other genres of music ( soul, funk, Rnb, hip-hop (especially 90s), classical (especially 1800s) and anything that sounds soulful, bluesy or jazzy...) every time I listen to jazz I feel like this is the crowning achievement of all music. It has the perfect balance of sexy, groovy, sensuous, danceable and brainy, sensitive and subtle. And that blue note! Perfection made sound!

Wolff Bachner

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

radio.cheeskake

Kind of evil plan but i like it

Tyrone Smith

This song (and the entire album for that matter)just has a way of making everything
alright ...However brief ...
superbly sublime.

Mountain Goat

Tyrone Smith yep... everything gonna be alright.....

David Arbelaez

Listen to how Miles utilizes space in his solo on So What and notice how this rest makes the notes that he does play that much more effective.

Christopher Prosser

The first word in his autobiography is “listen”. Speaks volumes.

DonVal86

David Arbelaez So what.

TheWardensArms

"If you don't have anything to say, then shut up." -Miles Davis
The master of utilizing silence as part of music.

Torin Davies

+Vaibhav Joshi modal jazz simply refers to the chord-scale relationships used for example, in a 2-5-1 the 2 can be Dorian, the 5 mixolydian and the 1ionian and so on

Daniel Pacheco

+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.

ᐱUΓᐱ ƧΗOШ

The first song I go to for testing new speakers or headphones. Amazing piece!

oig40203

I run front of house sound. Steely Dan's "Jack of Speed" is my go-to. It is nice and airy like this piece. Plenty of space to see how to room reacts.

stephen chase

Home at Last gets my vote.

MrGreenAKAguci00

Sublime choice. The entire Somethin' Else album would also be good. Just make sure that in both cases it's one of the older less compressed masterings.

Samuel Morse

AceOfSpades Motorhead will.

AceOfSpades

it's amazing music.. but it doesn't really test your speakers as such now does it...

Goddard Bolt

STILL Miles ahead of the rest.

2019 and still one of the best jazz recordings ever produced

southerncajuncharm

When I was 14, I started listening to this while I studied. Over 20 years later, I listen to it at work when I enter weekly notes in. Bottom line, this album is timeless.

George Leal Jamil

Miles and John playing together: wonderful.

Sonny O'Brien

The tricky aspect to this, for some players, no matter what the level of experience might be, is that at one point, as the form turns around, you are faced with 48 straight bars of Dm7. It can be easy to lose oneself in that, and then miss the modulation to Ebm7. In other words, you have to be 'in the
flow' but always cognizant of just where you are in the form.

maddman18210

Best Jazz you will ever hear my friends. We miss you my brother.

Hi — you got that right

Matthew Mead

I love Miles Davis's solo on this record, much more so than Coltraines. I think his relaxed phrasing and meandering pace much better captures the mood of the d dorian key- that kind of bitter sweet melancholy, whimsical and nostalgic. I think when modes are done well they convey some pretty nuanced moods.

luis astete canal

NUNCA me canso de escuchar este GRAN tema del GENIAL Miles Davis !!!! aqui en mi pais Peru, o en los tiempos en que vivi en Pensilvania - USA o en Granby- Canada...

Rest in peace Mr. Cobb! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your wonderful music.

As a guitar player, this album really opened up my mind and playing to the sound of modes. Absolutely incredible and timeless masterpiece for sure.

Landon Mennemeyer

I'm not a huge jazz fan. But I could listen to this all day. It's simple and sophisticated. Relaxing and smooth. But full of life. Just love it.

This music takes me back to my childhood times when my Dad would wake me up to playing this song & my mind would drift off wondering how many instruments were involved to collaborate such timeless music that I still love today.

In my humble opinion Kind of Blue was the greatest Jazz Album ever.

Not the most controversial opinion.

Soothe a savage soul kinda groove ! Thank heavens for this music !

Quand on reconnaît l’artiste à son seul son, c’est que c’est qu’il a quelque chose de plus, la définition d’un génie doué d’une inspiration sublime et unique

Chrisamos412

Like seven decades and counting, still a fresh masterpiece, jazz has only gotten better because of Miles’ genius.

Phil Phucas

Album changed my life. The vinyl sound is other worldly.

James White

This song was created in heaven man. When you get there, this what you'll hear.

Wayne Johanson

It sure was.

Samuel Lawson

I’m 13 and these types of songs especially by miles Davis are truly amazing. I have one friend at school, his name is leon, and he is into jazz like I am. I play bass, he plays drums. We used to hire out music studios in our school but we stopped because the equipment was terrible. On the bus home every day we put in one earphone and play new jazz songs that sounded cool. We love this song. Shame that most kids in my school still listen to pop and hip hop. Don’t get me wrong, some pop songs are great, but a majority of them are terrible. Wish more kids liked this...

Larry

Finally, a man of TRUE culture! It was about time someone spoke to the truth. I am genuinely confused as to why my fellow peers enjoy repetitive hip hop songs. I much prefer jazz. With lack of better words, it just makes sense to me.

Sincerely,

Yet another 13 year old.

Yabooski

You are the coolest 13 year old I've read about.

Sincerely,
Another 13 year old

Reginald Briggs

I have listened to this record over a million times, but still get emotionally charged after each new listen. Freaking unbelievable, particularly Cannonball's solo.

dwight moore

Listening to Miles inspirited me to play various instruments

Botond Lakatos

Some may argue, but I think this might be THE BEST jazz album of all-time

Jackson Morganfroghin

It is certainly one of the best. I personally like Sunny Side of the Strip. It's a live album with the George Shearing Quintet. Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet is also a contender for best jazz album of all time. Just my opinion.

Abraham Palmer

One of the greatest songs I ever heard in my life is so so perfect

A Sz

Bill Evans and Miles are the best duo. I’ve never heard such a world sung between two people. They really resonated with each other. It’s so clear.

Bill’s densely delicate harmonics. Miles’ reaching and poignant melodic paths. It’s of a dream.

No one could’ve done this but them. No one.

Melissa Rivera

Loved jazz since I was little, it’s beautiful

GA Englund

Thanks to my son Adam that I've been listining to a lot of jazz tunes (KMH Sweden) - It's nice to listen to from classics to jazz... endless music...

J Eshun

From the best selling Jazz album of all time, the 1959 recorded Kind of Blue, i always marvel at the luxurious basslines & gentle piano chords on this hauntingly magnificent touch of modal Jazz, the genius that is Miles Davis in his trumpestious pomp, ably assisted by a great cast such the legendary John Coltrane

R. C.

Countless hours of study accompanied by his trumpet. The bass sets the rhythm to my mind.

Galaxy Being

Jazz was supposed to be crowd-pleasing street music, sub-culture at gut-level that would only haltingly be praised for its supposedly accidental sublimity. But this has so much musical virtuosity, exotic subtlety, and inexplicable refinement that we have the rarest phenomenon of a subculture matching, becoming high culture. This piece creates its own cachet that rivals anything in the classical world.

Chuck Hall

unparalleled musicianship... I'm tall and they nailed it down.

...Miles' solo is so fucking inspirational it makes me cry....he packs in so much emotion in exquisite compact phrases.....a true Genius.......

Kinda blue from 1959 sounds awesome today.

Roberto Assis

Bravo maestro👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Bob

This album will be a classic even centuries ahead. The musicians will be like the old masters in classical music. Different genres, that's all. One reason this jazz album remains popular is because non-musicians can easily relate to it. As great as these tunes are, they are also quite simple, and they have that delicious, haunting blues undertone. The soloists, who are incredible, are backed by a smooth, non-intrusive, but very complementary, rhythm section. Very tasty stuff. Grab a glass of wine and chill. :)

Devika Follosco

There's just no way to overrate Kind of Blue ... no way ... it's a masterpiece no matter how many times I listen to it.

EDM Nerd

Bruh you know it’s a real jazz band when you have miles Davis, John coltrane, and Bill Evans in it!

Brenz Morrey

I'm just about to start learning the horn - my teacher said this is the first song I'm going to teach you :) CHEERING !!

Love this cd it's good to put on and listen to , don't understand why some people dislike it, one of the first albums I heard and never tire of it.

John Coltrane and Miles Davis, unmatched pair 🎼🎷🎺

Jazziz Café

Amazing tune!!!! Love it!
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

Raddaddy watanen

The Sax player was NOT certainly John Coltrane.. Miles asked him:Why do you play so long solos ? Coltrane answered: I cant figure out where to stop.. To that Miles said: Why you just take the horn out of your mouth.. That is a good advice to many players..

Louis Lark

A masterful genius evoking me to eclipse the musical galaxies: love Miles Davis

Coltrane wails and the bass plays one of the all time riffs but there is something about what Miles does with his trumpet here that defies description, other than to say it is sublime. I can think of few other pieces in the pantheon of music that can compare to the aesthetic of this track. Oh yeah killer intro by Bill Evans btw.
