KuruPrionz Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Awesome, thanks for sharing!!! Kind of Blue is a favorite of mine. Getting the behind the scenes viewpoint from a genius player who performed on the recording is golden. Gotta dig it up and listen again! Cheers, Kuru Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyRubberDuck Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 You're Welcome! Kind of Blue was my first Jazz album, I still love to listen to it. The way Bill Evans was brought into the band to play the modal music style, replacing Wynton Kelly and becoming a huge influence on jazz is also worth a read. Great jazz history!

chigson Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 And he slips in 'Blue in Green is my song'. > Evans recounted that when he suggested that he was entitled to a share of the royalties, Davis wrote him a check for $25.
