"Birth of the Cool" is an album that collects the twelve sides recorded by the Miles Davis nonet (featuring Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz and others) for Capitol Records in 1949 and 1950. The music is considered seminal. This blog is dedicated to that spirit -- keeping things "cool" by blog birthing. If you've got somethin' cool to share, blow on.

Post-modern jukebox

totally cool, though the irish one I thought was the weakest in terms of capturing the true sound of that kind of music, but the rest are perfecto...thanks for finding this...already turned my 16-year-old on to it and we were both cracking up and snapping our fingers...
