four-thirty-three

This past Wednesday was the 50th anniversary of the second and final recording session for Kind of Blue; Miles Davis et al. got together to put “Flamenco Sketches” and “All Blues” down on tape.

Here’s Davis’s legendary 60s band (Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, Tony WIlliams) playing “All Blues” live.

And, here’s a different and more traditionally bluesy version for solo piano by Richie Beirach, from the now out-of-print album Live at Mayfair Recital Hall (Amazon link). I love this recording.
