Recorded across three seminal Capitol sessions in 1949-50, \u003ci\u003eBirth Of The Cool\u003c\/i\u003e documents the Miles Davis Nonet at the point where bebop was being reshaped into something more spacious, arranged and texturally refined. Working with a remarkable cast including Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz, J.J. Johnson, Kai Winding, John Lewis, Max Roach and Kenny Clarke, Davis helped define a new language for modern jazz, with French horn and tuba expanding the ensemble's tonal range. Curated as part of the Tone Poet audiophile reissue programme, this mono edition brings one of Davis' earliest landmark recordings back to vinyl with all-analogue mastering and high-spec pressing credentials.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSt Louis trumpeter Miles Davis edges into his first true turning point here, a late-40s set of sessions that begin to prise jazz away from bebop's velocity and into something cooler and more aerated, more exacting in its use of space. Working with Gil Evans and a carefully assembled nonet, Davis brings in an unusual palette - French horn, tuba, soft brass voicings - that sounds faintly orchestral. 'Move' sets things in motion with a light, quick-footed swing, but already there's a sense of restraint with phrases held back just enough. 'Moon Dreams' drifts in a more suspended register with harmony moving in slow, gauzy layers, while 'Boplicity' carries that same poise, lines gliding rather than pushing. Elsewhere, 'Jeru' and 'Venus De Milo' thread tighter arrangements through that softened frame. It feels less like a break from bebop than a quiet redirection, the music cooling as it goes, which somehow sharpens it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eGatefold picture sleeve with original cover artwork and liner notes\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBlue Note Tone Poet Series edition\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e180-gram Mono LP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original master tape\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlated and pressed at RTI\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFeatures Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz, J.J.
