✨1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die Series ✨ Album: Birth of the Cool Artist: Miles Davis Genre: #CoolJazz #Jazz ℹ️About The Album : Birth of the Cool is a compilation album by American jazz trumpeter and bandleader Miles Davis, released in February 1957 by Capitol Records. Winthrop Sargeant, classical music critic at The New Yorker, compared the band's sound to the work of an "impressionist composer with a great sense of aural poetry and a very fastidious feeling for tone color... The music sounds more like that of a new Maurice Ravel than it does like jazz ... it is not really jazz." In the short term the reaction to the band was little to none, but in the long term the recordings' effects have been great and lasting. They have been credited with starting the cool jazz movement as well as creating a new and viable alternative to bebop. 💭Thoughts : The praises for the album are abundant and the significance is widespread. How an album can come to establish a whole new genre is a feat no less. I find myself in the gorges of musical diversity and it demands your attention in an absent minded way. (Confused yet?) Put it on and go cook that meal (you call healthy). 🍸Goes Best With : Today we’re going to make ourselves an age old Jazz Era drink : The Southside, it’s a tangy mix of gin, lime, soda and mint leaves. And don’t forget the sugar syrup (like you were going to..Bah). Enjoy ! Favourite Tracks: 🔥Move, 🔥Moon Dreams, 🔥Venus de Milo, 🔥Boplicity, 🔥Rocker.
