Recorded on 22 April 1959, it is built on five scales, each played as long as the soloist wishes until he has completed the series. It is the only piece on the album that produced a complete first take, and an alternate take of 9:32 was issued on the 1997 reissue.
In 2014 the group Mostly Other People Do the Killing released an album, Blue, that reproduces Kind of Blue note for note.
