Blue in Green

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Blue In Green" is the third track on Miles Davis' 1959 album, Kind of Blue. One of two ballads on the LP (the other being "Flamenco Sketches"), "Blue In Green"'s melody is very modal, incorporating the presence of the dorian, mixolydian, and lydian modes. The first measure is a Bb Major 7 sharp 11 chord (BMaj7(+11), which contains an F natural but the modality of the piece is already evident as the opening note of the melody is an E natural, which is the leading tone of the F major scale. The sharp 11 in the Bbmaj chord contains that E natural.

It has long been speculated that pianist Bill Evans wrote "Blue in Green," even though the LP and most jazz fakebooks credit Davis with its composition. In his autobiography, Davis maintains that he alone composed the songs on Kind of Blue. The version on Evans' trio album Portrait in Jazz credits the tune to 'Davis-Evans'.
