«Birth of the Cool» is the jazz compilation by Miles Davis on CD, released in 1990, bringing together recordings from 1949 and 1950.
The album brings together the recordings Miles Davis made in New York between 1949 and 1950 with a small ensemble featuring trumpet, trombone, French horn, tuba and saxophones. Those sessions prefigure cool jazz, with measured arrangements and a more relaxed feel than bop. Tracks such as «Move», «Jeru» and «Boplicity» showcase that sound.
CD edition with twelve tracks; the back cover documents the three original sessions with their performers.
For listeners interested in the roots of cool jazz and in Miles Davis's historic recordings.
