"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.

Especially interesting vintage photos
A few posts ago I steered you all toward a great vintage photo site that provides new offerings daily. If you are at all interested in seeing what some famous artists and writers of the late eighteen hundreds looked like, by all means check out these fantastic photos from the aforementioned vintage photo site. All are amazing, but striking my fancy were Liszt, Sara Bernhardt, Baudelaire, Rodin, Dumas, Monet, and Manet.
