    Blue In Green Tutorial

    Blue in Green is the third track on Miles Davis’ album ‘Kind Of Blue’ which is the best-selling jazz album of all time — worth checking out if you haven’t already.

    The form of Blue in Green is very unusual. The 10-measure form is much shorter than most jazz standards and so it’s repeated numerous times in a performance.

    In this lesson we explore and apply altered harmony. This tune is great for learning altered harmony because the melody contains many of the interesting upper extensions and alterations.
