Birth of the Cool was the most important stylistic step to follow after bebop - generating an
entirely new wave of playing that influenced a new generation in the early 1950s. This compilation
album by American jazz trumpeter and bandleader Miles Davis, released in February 1957 by
Capitol Records compiled eleven tracks recorded by Davis's nonet for the label over the course of
three sessions during 1949 and 1950.
Featuring unusual instrumentation and several notable musicians, the music consisted of
innovative arrangements influenced by classical orchestral music techniques such as polyphony,
and marked a major development in post-bebop jazz. As the title suggests, these recordings are
considered seminal in the history of cool jazz
