It is a [[12 bar blues]] in 6/4; the chord sequence is that of a basic blues and made up entirely of 7th chords, with a ♭VI in the [[blues turnaround|turnaround]] instead of just the usual V chord. In the song's original key of G this chord is an E♭7.<ref>{{cite book | publisher=Hal Leonard Corporation | title=The Real Book Sixth Edition | isbn=0-634-06038-4|page=18}}</ref> The piece is made even more distinctive by the bass [[vamp (music)|vamp]] that repeats through the whole piece, except when a V or ♭VI chord is reached (the 9th and 10th bars of a chorus). Further to this, there is a harmonically similar vamp that is played by the horns (the two saxophones in the case of ''Kind of Blue'') at the beginning and then (usually) continued by the piano under any solos that take place. Each chorus is usually separated by a four-bar vamp which acts as an introduction to the next solo/chorus. While originally an instrumental piece and usually performed as such, lyrics were later written for it by [[Oscar Brown Jr.]]. quack ==References== {{reflist}} {{miles Davis}} [[Category:1959 compositions]] [[Category:Compositions by Miles Davis]] [[Category:1950s jazz standards]] [[Category:Jazz compositions in G major]]'
