"So What" is the first track on the 1959 album Kind of Blue by American trumpeter Miles Davis. It is one of the best-known examples of modal jazz, set in the Dorian mode and consisting of 16 bars of D Dorian, followed by eight bars of E♭ Dorian and another eight of D Dorian. This AABA structure puts it in the thirty-two-bar format of American popular song. While the track is taken at a very moderate tempo on Kind of Blue, it is played at an extremely fast tempo on later live recordings by the quintet, such as Four & More.

It is one of the best-known examples of modal jazz, set in the Dorian mode and consisting of 16 bars of D Dorian, followed by eight bars of E♭ Dorian and another eight of D Dorian. This AABA structure puts it in the thirty-two-bar format of American popular song. The piano-and-bass introduction for the piece was written by Gil Evans for Bill Evans (no relation) and Paul Chambers on Kind of Blue. An orchestrated version by Gil Evans of this introduction is later to be found on a television broadcast given by Miles' first quintet (minus Cannonball Adderley who was ill that day) and the Gil Evans Orchestra; the orchestra gave the introduction, after which the quintet played the rest of "So What". The use of the double bass to play the main theme makes the piece unusual. This arrangement was later performed and recorded as part of the album Miles Davis at Carnegie Hall. While the track is taken at a very moderate tempo on Kind of Blue, it is played at an extremely fast tempo on later live recordings by the quintet, such as Four & More. The distinctive voicing employed by Bill Evans for the chords that interject the head: from the bottom up, three notes at intervals of a perfect fourth followed by a major third, has been given the name "So What chord" (shown below) by such theorists as Mark Levine.

Both pieces originate in Ahmad Jamal's 1955 cover of Morton Gould's "Pavanne" In 2021, "So What" was ranked 492 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. (en)
  • So What (Et Alors, en anglais) est un standard de jazz modal bebop du trompettiste de jazz américain Miles Davis (1926-1991), de son album Kind of Blue de 1959, chez Columbia Records (probablement l'album de jazz le plus vendu de tous les temps avec plus de 4 millions d'exemplaires). Cette composition de riff révolutionnaire de la légende de l'histoire du jazz est considérée comme un des chefs-d'œuvre emblématiques cultes de son œuvre, et du jazz modal (dont il est un des principaux fondateurs).

  • So What è uno standard composto da Miles Davis e inciso come primo brano del famoso album Kind of Blue, che inaugurò la stagione del jazz modale.
