Out of the Main

S5.E11: Kind of Blue, with Listener Jonathan

Listen Later

Listener Jonathan returns to the podcast (as all Supporters are welcome to do) to take an in-depth review of perhaps the most influential jazz album of all time: Miles Davis’s 1959 masterpiece “Kind of Blue.”

  • What’s the story?
  • What makes this recording so groundbreaking and so influential? 
  • What is modal music?
  • What does the track-by-track analysis reveal?
  • What are the connections to yacht rock? 
  • Why were so many yacht rockers so enamored with the jazz convention?
  • How does all of this lead to Steely Dan (in more ways than one!)
