New Sound Album: With Kind of Blue, Davis completed his move from the complicated chord changes of hard bop to a compositionally simpler jazz style - modality - offering players a far simpler script from which to work.

George Jetson Job Security: Miles built the album concept around Bill Evans, who had left the group months earlier, but had neglected to inform current pianist Wynton Kelly of the situation until Kelly arrived at the studio to record the album. Kelly only performs on "Freddie Freeloader".

Epic Rocking: All tracks are long jams. "All Blues", at eleven and a half minutes, is the longest; even "Blue in Green", the shortest, is still nearly six minutes long.

Continuity Nod: The Spanish atmosphere of "Flamenco Sketches" would receive an entire album inspired by it, named Sketches of Spain (1960).

Improv: Most tracks only had one complete take; "Flamenco Sketches" had two. There were a few false starts and a bit of studio chatter as well, but there are only six complete takes from the album sessions.

Shout-Out
 Kind of Blue (Music) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The opening measures of Claude Debussy's "Voiles" inspired the famous introduction of "So What". Duane Allman (The Allman Brothers Band) said: "I have listened to that album so many times that for the past couple of years, I haven't hardly listened to anything else." "So What?" was sampled in the song "Scenario" from A Tribe Called Quest's The Low End Theory (1991). The folk-rock band Pentangle added lyrics to "All Blues" on their song "I've Got a Feeling" from their album Sweet Child (1968). Industrial hip-hop act Dälek sampled "Blue in Green" in their song "The Untravelled Road".
