This paper explains that the pieces in Miles Davis' jazz CD "Kind of Blue" are loosely composed, consisting of
improvisation
within a musical framework, which produces a feeling of freedom without the clutter of a larger ensemble. The author points out that, when the
listener focuses on just hearing the music, he or she can discover the structure behind the melodies and appreciate each instrument and its player individually. The paper relates that the favorite piece on the CD is "Blue in Green", which is the most melodic piece in the collection; Bill Evans creates a lush and romantic mood and his playing invites the listener to put down whatever he is doing and just listen.
