Blue in Green is a 1959 modal jazz ballad co-credited to Miles Davis and Bill Evans, from the album Kind of Blue. Released August 17, 1959 and recorded March 2, 1959 for Columbia, the piece runs about 5 minutes and 37 seconds. It is the third track on Kind of Blue and the only one not featuring Cannonball Adderley. The original session features Miles Davis on trumpet, John Coltrane on tenor sax, Bill Evans on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums, with Irving Townsend producing. The composition is described as a 10-measure circular form after a four-measure introduction, with solos in a palindromic sequence: Davis, Evans, Coltrane, Evans, Davis, followed by a quiet fade. Authorship has been debated, with Evans claiming credit and Davis often credited as the sole composer, and the piece has since become a jazz standard widely covered and admired for its meditative quality.
