"All Blues" is a 12-bar blues in 6/4 time, meaning there are six beats in each bar (two groups of three, giving it somewhat of a waltz feel). It is a jazz standard, comes from the critically acclaimed Miles Davis album, Kind of Blue, and is considered one of the most iconic compositions in the modal jazz repertoire.
