Main feature of jazz, across all types of jazz, is improvisation. Miles Davis was one of the best known Jazz trumpeters, and he developed modal Jazz, which All Blues is an example of. Bebop jazz is a fast and virtuosic type of jazz, with improvisations based on complex chord progressions. Modal, however, is more laid-back and uncomplicated. All Blues is from the album Kind of Blue, which was recorded in New York on 2 March and 22 April 1959. From a sextet, a group of 6 players. 2 of 2
