Music Monday: Blue in Green by Miles Davis

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Kind of Blue by Miles Davis is the best-selling jazz album of all time and was recorded on this day in 1959. My client jazz man and I had a long conversation about it while listening to another song on the album (Freddy Freeloader) but since March's theme is green I am posting this (which is also being used in a Lexus commercial at the moment).

What other songs do you know that have 'green' (or a shade of green) in the title? I know Kermit the Frog sings one but I am blanking on others.

Balcony/Green Eyes by Joe Purdy. Beautiful song about having an affair with a woman with green eyes and one's friends being disapproving.

How has nobody brought up “Green-Eyed Lady” by Sugarloaf?

There’s also “Green, Green” by the New Christy Minstrels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbSslHs7WKk

Oh, thank you for mentioning this. And for the reccs. I meant to go through all of these and the task just completely flew out of my mind.

Let’s not forget the official theme song of Days Of Old When Knights Were Bold (and ice cream trucks): “Greensleeves”, by that prolific songwriting team Trad and Anon.
