MILES DAVIS Birth Of The Cool (2003 US exclusive limited edition 11-track LP pressed on 200gram QUIEX SUPER VINYL, so dubbed because these 3 sessions [recorded between January 1949 and March 1950] are where the sound known as cool jazz essentially formed; 'Birth of the Cool' remains one of the defining, pivotal moments in jazz - this is where the elasticity of bop was married with skillful, big-band arrangements and a relaxed, subdued mood that made it all seem easy, even at its most intricate! Superbly presented in deluxe front-pasted card cover, housed in a sticker-sealed PVC bag)
