Miles Davis - "My Ship"
Written by Kurt Weill's
The beginning of this piece has such a warm feel that I can only guess is being played by Clarinets or maybe even saxophones. You can here a couple chimes as well in the beginning. The percussion stays very calm through the whole song with light high hat. The trumpet soloing through out the song is almost mysterious. The structure of the song and my best assumption is AABAC. The bars go 8-8-8-8-6. I would but the BPM right around 50. Such a beautiful song really reminds me of sunny california and Noir films.
Gil Evans was such a masterful composer/arranger. The projects that he and Miles shared were magical, to be sure. Nice choice!
