Miles Davis - Birth Of The Cool

‘Birth Of The Cool’ stands as one of the most influential recordings in jazz history, documenting the groundbreaking sessions led by Miles Davis between 1949 and 1950. Moving away from the intensity of bebop, Davis and his nonet introduced a more arranged, textural and understated approach that would shape the future of modern jazz.

Featuring a remarkable ensemble including Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz, John Lewis and Max Roach, the music blends intricate arrangements with a lighter, more spacious sound. These recordings became a blueprint for the cool jazz movement and influenced countless musicians and ensembles in the decades that followed.

This 180g vinyl edition includes a bonus track, presenting the complete original album with enhanced audio quality and historical significance.
