Wonderfully creative, original, unpredictable… Portico Quartet - ‘Ruins’
The Story of "Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis
Kind of Blue is acclaimed for it’s lack of structure and the introduction to modality in Jazz, which before, was known for it’s “sophisticated chord changes and various harmonies,” as David Amram notes. The scale set a very simple premise for the pieces in the album and allowed the seven musicians in Kind of Blue to be creative–to experiment with their instruments and discover new methods of developing harmony without planning it out. The whole concept is very spontaneous and in-the-moment which is courageous in that way.

Must read article if you're a "jazz" musician. Mr. Burke speaks a lot of truth: "If you look into a crowd and see nothing but your colleagues and students, you’ve gone from a career to a hobby" - Brick Wahl: Keeping It Real « The International Review of Music
An amazingly frank blog post. I find myself agreeing with pretty much all of this. I’d only add that for the feeling and the life and the groove to exist, you have to have musicians who have a certain level of experience and ability playing this stuff. These musicians in turn, are going to talk about the science of their art and enthuse about it’s technicalities. This is only right. But it is definitely refreshing to hear someone talking this way. I love jazz, and as a musician, I want my music to convey the emotion and passion it was meant to, without getting hung up on technique.
