About this title: Blue Note's Pure Cool compilation delivers just what the title promises: a collection of tracks from the legendary jazz label's coolest artists, including Kenny Burrell, Charlie Hunter, Earl Klugh, and Stanley Turrentine. Miles Davis' "It Never Entered My Mind," John Coltrane's "I'm Old Fashioned," Julie London's "Cry Me a River," and June Christy's "Something Cool" are some of the album's highlights, along with songs from Cassandra Wilson, Sarah Vaughan, and Dexter Gordon. A stylish collection in keeping with Blue Note's sophisticated tradition. Heather Phares, All Music Guide
