Miles Davis - Birth Of The Cool LP (Tone Poet Vinyl Series)
Miles Davisā earliest masterpieceĀ Birth Of The CoolĀ gets the royal treatment in celebration of the legendary trumpeterās Centennial. Following his trial-by-fire tenure in the Charlie Parker Quintet in the mid-1940s, Davis emerged with bolstered confidence and a creative hunger to explore new directions. A regular gathering of like-minded musicians at arrangerĀ Gil Evansā Manhattan apartment provided the workshop at which the Miles Davis Nonet was born, and in 1949-50 Davis led three seminal sessions for Capitol Records that documented this exciting new music with a cast of collaborators includingĀ Gerry Mulligan,Ā Lee Konitz,Ā J.J. Johnson,Ā Kai Winding,Ā John Lewis,Ā Max Roach,Ā Kenny Clarke, and others. The nonet featured a unique instrumentation with French horn and tuba to create new textures influenced by impressionist classical music that inspired lyrical improvisations by the bandās soloists on arrangements of pieces by Davis, Evans, Mulligan, Lewis, Denzil Best, Bud Powell, Johnny Mercer, and more.
