Blue in Green

Blue in Green

"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 G minor chord with an added natural 13 (Gm13), 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 natural 13 of the chord is E natural.

It has long been speculated that pianist Bill Evans wrote "Blue in Green" [The notes accompanying «Bill Evans - The Complete Riverside Recordings», published in 1984, give credit to both Evans and Davis ((Davis-Evans) Jazz Horn Music/Warner-Tamerlane Publ. — BMI)] , even though the LP and most jazz fakebooks credit Davis only 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", recorded in 1959, credits the tune to 'Davis-Evans'.
