Birth of the Cool

Birth of the Cool (1949) more music like this

by Miles Davis

So dubbed because these three sessions -- two from early 1949, one from March 1950 -- are where the sound known as cool jazz essentially formed, The Birth of the Cool remains one of the defining, pivotal moments in jazz. This is where the elasticity of bop was married with skillful, big-band arrangements and a relaxed, subdued mood that made it ...

Explorations

Explorations (1961) more music like this

by Bill Evans Trio

When this album was recorded in February of 1961, it had been more than year since the Portrait in Jazz was issued, the disc that won the critics over. By the time of this issue, Evans had released four albums in six years, a pace unheard of during that time. Most musicians were issuing two, three, and even four records a year during the same era. ...

by Bill Evans

Although all eight of the selections heard on this Verve release have been recorded on other occasions by pianist Bill Evans, these renditions hold their own. Teamed up with bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Larry Bunker (his regular trio of 1963-1965), Evans plays definitive versions of such songs as Johnny Carisi's "Israel," "How My Heart Sings, ...

Re-Birth of the Cool

Re-Birth of the Cool (1992) more music like this

by Gerry Mulligan

In the summer of 1991 Gerry Mulligan decided to revisit Miles Davis's Birth of the Cool recordings. He discussed it with Miles Davis himself who said he might be interested in participating but sadly Davis died a few months later.

Cigar Classics, Vol. 3: Cool Smokes (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

The third entry in this series directs its focus on the segment of the cigar-smoking crowd who equate listening to bebop-inspired music with enjoying a good stogie. Actually more pop-oriented than anything else, Cool Smokes samples 14 tracks from a variety of sources that will appeal to those who like their jazz lazy and languid. Although this ...

Once I Loved (1995) more music like this

by Richard Hindman Trio

Richard Hindman, who is featured in a trio and some solo passages, often sounds a bit like Oscar Peterson. He has superior technique, plays melodically like Peterson, and swings hard.

Remembrance of Dino's (1990) more music like this

by Bill Perkins

Tenor saxophonist Bill Perkins recorded his quartet on several occasions in 1986 at the now-defunct Dino's in Pasadena, hence the title of the CD. Not only is the sound that Perkins achieved very intimate, as if the listener was a member of the audience, but the band is extremely tight and adventurous. Sadly, the opener "Bolivia" is prematurely ...

Bill Evans Person We Knew (1994) more music like this

by Larry Schneider & Andy LaVerne

This duo date by tenor saxophonist Larry Schneider and pianist Andy LaVerne is a tribute to the late Bill Evans, covering both Evans' compositions as well as works by others that he recorded. Evans' problems with drug addiction throughout his adult life are all too well-known, so it almost seems like "Re: Person I Knew" is actually played as a ...
