If you've ever found any reason to talk to me about Jazz, I'm sure I have spoken of my general awe and undying love of the song ALL BLUES. This tune, along with MOOD INDIGO and BLUE BOSSA embody what...JAZZ IS...in my humble opinion.
ALL BLUES, Columbia Records, 1959 was originally recorded April 22, 1959 on arguably the greatest jazz album ever recorded, KIND OF BLUE. Kind of Blue became the standard bearer for practically every recording jazz artist of the era and beyond.

Paul Chambers – double bass
Jimmy Cobb – drums

Miles would have been 85 years old today...Gone too soon...
