| rdfs:comment | - "All Blues" is a jazz composition by Miles Davis first appearing on the influential 1959 album Kind of Blue. It is a 12 bar blues in 6/4; the chord sequence is that of a basic blues and made up entirely of 7th chords, with a ♭VI in the turnaround instead of just the usual V chord. In the song's original key of G this chord is an E♭7. While originally an instrumental piece and usually performed as such, lyrics were later written for it by Oscar Brown Jr..

While originally an instrumental piece and usually performed as such, lyrics were later written for it by Oscar Brown Jr..
