Song of the Day (Blues by Five)

This has been the most wet, rainy, cold, miserable night/morning this year.  It has rained hard all night, wind blowing through my window, and this morning I awoke to a frozen nose, and the two lakes outside have basically become one.  It’s so cold, I’m wearing costco-brand uggs that I found in a dumpster.  It’s that bad.

Luckily there is one thing that makes this weather seem not so bad, and that is jazz music.  The good classic stuff though, none of that stressful modal shenanigans (sorry modal jazz fans).

This morning I’ve been listening to Miles Davis to get through the rain, and it’s working pretty well, so naturally I would make MD song of the day.

Here’s “Blues by Five” from the Miles Davis Quintet’s album, Cookin’ With the Miles Davis Quintet.  Did I mention it was the Miles Davis Quintet?  Quintet.
