Description: Birth of Cool. "Miles Davis Birth of the Cool" is a jazz album released in 1957, featuring arrangements by pianist/arranger Gil Evans and compositions by various members of Davis' nonet, a group of nine musicians that included Davis on trumpet, Lee Konitz on alto saxophone, Gerry Mulligan on baritone saxophone, and others. The album is considered a landmark in the history of jazz and is credited with helping to establish the cool jazz movement. The music on the album is characterized by its relaxed, understated approach, with a focus on melodic improvisation and a greater emphasis on ensemble playing than on individual solos.
