Additional Birth of the Cool Information
|
Although it is highly revered today, the music of the Miles Davis Nonet left the audiences of the late 1940s indifferent. The group was highly popular among other musicians, however, and served as an inspirational force to a multitude of other bands, as well as the different subsequent groups of the many musicians involved. Traces of the nonet’s music can be found in the early 1950s Miles Davis groups, the Gil Evans recordings (including the arranger’s wonderful collaborations with Miles), Mulligan’s pianoless quartet with Chet Baker, certain arrangements of the Stan Kenton orchestra and John Lewis’ (another member of the nonet) posterior Modern Jazz Quartet.

What Customers Say About Birth of the Cool:

if it weren't for him, i would've risked not caring to listen to miles davis just wanna say thanks to my dad for making me listen to jazz as a kid.
At best, his vocal performance is workman like, at worst, it's boring and trite. He almost sounds like a Bill Murray parody. Birth of the Cool is much better listening experience if you just skip the last track. This innovative breakthrough album ends on a bum note. Why did anyone think Kenny Hagood was a good singer.
My only complaint is that it would be so much better in stereo (it's a mono recording). This is a great classic album.
unlike mileses later works kind of blue and '58 which seem to have stood the test of time better.one of the weakness's of cool is probably due to the fact that so many band members needed to strech out so the album suffer from a cohesiveness that a true band brings to the table.but it miles and it worth a listen despite playing with a electic mix of players that would go on to greatness of their own birth of the cool has a very dated feel to it.
glad to have it at last.birth of the cool was an omen of things to come.tight small sized combo,with deeper sounds.
