"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.

Grace at Daryl's House
A couple of months ago we watched an episode of "Live From Daryrl's House" featuring Grace Sewell, a 19 year old Aussie singer and song writer. I recorded the show on my DVR, but until just recently it was not up on Daryl's site, or on YouTube. The good news is that it is now up on Daryl's site where you can play the entire show or just certain segments. Check it out right here. I recommend playing the entire show if you have the time because you will see how Grace, Daryl, and the band grow more appreciative of each other as the session goes on. By the end of the session the respect on all sides is palpable. This turned out to be one of the very best shows of the current season of LFDH. I hope you enjoy it as much as Eileen and I have. This young lady can really sing up a storm -- nobody owns her, as evidenced by her rendition of "You Don't Own Me."
