Prog poll ?
I always thought it's a jazz album, maybe I'm wrong ?

My teacher made me learn the piano solo to 'Freddie Freeloader' recently - a great one, indeed. However, I'll be boring and vote 'So What'. I recommend it highly for practising modal improvisation too - lots of possibilities.

remember how Lennon said the beatles music was like a chair or the blues was like a chair.
"kind of blue" is like a chair with no legs. And then what have you got?
. You've got what you've got (seriously, forgive the grammer)
and Them that has...GETS!!!
there is no rehearsing and that myfriends is a first. Good Moneys worth DMiles that what the executive says. Poor brother in a time and place like 60's america and to be BLACK?
Let's just make some kind of jazz money off 'em. I actually hate what executives did for the brother back then. Selling millions then making him play backup to whiteboy bob
here's to sly and the F stone

I like the way Miles gave the bandmates 16 or 32 bars for improve, but didn't rehearse first

The entire album is excellent. For the sake of voting, I chose "Freddie Freeloader."

I suppose an "All of the above" option would be redundant. I voted Blue in Green.

It's one of the most even albums out there. I tend to like So What a lot because of its opening, and maybe also because it's the first true jazz song I ever heard.

So What is my choice, I remember the first time I heard it and realized it was one of the most relaxing things I'd ever listened to. Plus I love the intro.
