Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis's Birth of the Cool is a landmark cool-jazz record from the 1949-1950 Nonet sessions, widely regarded as a turning point in post-bebop jazz. This 2016 Blue Note vinyl reissue faithfully presents Gil Evans's innovative arrangements and the album's intimate, chamber-like mood, featuring tracks such as Move, Jeru, Moon Dreams, Venus de Milo, and Boplicity. Originally released in 1957, the Birth of the Cool helped define Davis's path as a pioneering trumpet voice and remains essential listening in jazz history. The edition arrived October 7, 2016 as part of Blue Note's classic reissues.
