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.

@James Welch yes you're right, sure overreacted! Good evenings to you

@Madra Hey man, enjoy Miles. No need to quarrel. We both obviously share the same interest that we like good music. Discussion adjourned.
Madra
@James Welch why then would you advise me to do it in the first place? Does the inconsistency come with being articulate?;)
