Free Music Notes for Birth of the Cool
Free Music Review: Sounds SuperFresh Even After Over 50 Years!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one those records that on hearing the first time, one might wonder "What is going on here?" Even now, it has a unique , fresh sound, with some very interesting harmonics and solos, not to mention rhythms that don't swing, but may be like a mellow bop. You can tell all the players are right on target thruout. It may seem a bit dissonent on first hearing, but no doubt this CD deserves its reputation as innovative and timeless.Some very nice listening once you've gotten the feel for it!Free Music Review: One of the great albums of all time, historical, listenable
Hit: 5 Stars
This album was a great bridge between the bebop that Miles played with Gillespie/Parker and Duke Ellington/Claude Thornhill big band style music. This became cool jazz, with Gerry Mulligan at the helm, who was a large part of this disc. Mulligan helped arrange much of this material, along with Gil Evans. This was the beginning of a great period between Miles Davis and Gil Evans. The remastered version makes for an even clearer look at great art.Free Music Review: labor of love
Hit: 5 Stars
Having only recently jumped on the Jazz scene as a 24 year veteran of the drum, i don't know as if i am qualified to write a review for those into this boat, but i must say that as a neophyte, i am and will be for a long time to come, a Davis fan. And this, the birth of the cool is an album that i will treasure as one of my own. very smooth sounds, breathy on the horns and completely listenable, a must have for any burgeoning collection.Free Music Review: The album title says it all
Hit: 5 Stars
When you realize that these sides were cut in 1949, you can only but marvel at the both the sophistication of both the music and the sound. For those of you that might think that anything recorded almost 60 years ago must sound primitive, think again. This is modern music, timeless music, and will pay dividends on a good sound system. How many 58 year old recording can say that?
This is great stuff, period.
Free Music Review: be proud you americans!
Hit: 5 Stars
I must start by saying that it is impossible to dare not to rate this with five stars.To give a small instance of the impact of this work, as a brazilian, I recognize in this album the strong influence that it had over brazilian music. I am also certain that Miles extended his influence all over the world. So if you are an american, be proud of it, and tell all the world: "America is the birthplace of The Cool".
