BIRTH OF THE COOL

Description

From the end of the 1940s, Miles Davis is a trailblazer for whom jazz is a permanent laboratory. With the help of Gil Evans, a pianist who became an orchestra leader and arranger, he explores a new aesthetic. Calm and refined, the cool contrasts with the fury of be-bop and highlights soloists like pianist John Lewis, a Bach enthusiast, and saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, known for his airy playing. This brilliant trial run (recorded in 1949 but released in 1957) foreshadows further successes with the same Gil Evans: Porgy and Bess (1959), then Sketches of Spain (1960) and its variations on the Concierto de Aranjuez… Excerpt from the ideal Fnac discography 2017.
