Released in the summer of 1957, this revolutionary album was recorded between 1948 and 1949. Considered the cornerstone of Cool Jazz, 'Birth Of The Cool' would take many years to establish itself. To kick off this stylistic revolution, the trumpeter surrounds himself with nine exceptional collaborators to deliver an album oscillating between be-bop rhythms and Big Band arrangements under the direction of Gil Evans. By bringing together avant-garde instrumentalists including, among others, Lee Konitz, Gerry Mulligan, Max Roach, Kenny Clarke, and John Lewis, Miles Davis manages to solve the musical equation of this foundational record. Discover or rediscover this classic in the vinyl reissues from "La Sélection Fnac."
