Great album overall, no pick for me.  If you could pick out one album and say this is what jazz is all about, I'd go for this one.  I've probably heard every track played at the Piedmont Park Jazz Festival in Atlanta at one time or the other.  Fond memories of the late '70's/early '80's...

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Can't decide. I've been listening to the album quite a lot lately, but it's still too early to say. Could be So What, could be Flamenco Sketches, could be something from between...
It's on PA!

I go with "So What"--Bill Evans is my favorite pianist of all time, and his contribution to this album is sadly underappreciated.

So what. The intro is simply excellent, slowly building in dynamics until that first cymbal crash, and then it just gets going.

So what...
There's no song that makes me feel calmer and cozier than that!

I'll go with "Blue in Green".
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

I've voted for Flamenco Sketches, it influenced my guitar playing.

Almost impossible, but I love the way that So What sets the tone for the whole album, and especially the dialogue between the bass, piano and drums, so I'll vote for that.

Absolutely essential album, belongs in every record collection of anyone who cares about music deeper than "It's got a beat and I can dance to it."
 
I picked All Blues because I spent so much time learning to play guitar along to that song, but it's all great.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

It's hard to vote without a "I love them all" option.

I guess I'll have to listen to Kind of Awesome Blue again to help decide.

I was listening to this Miles Davis album last night and this morning, so I thought I'd make a poll and see which piece people like the best.
