Jazz 101 This Week..... AND Next
This week in Jazz History 101 we discussed the Cool Jazz period ushered in by Miles Davis in 1949 with his brilliant recording entitled “The Birth Of the Cool”. It had an profound effect on the sound and evolution of jazz in the 1950’s. Cool Jazz stemmed partly from concepts pioneered in the 1940’s by pianist-composer-arranger Claude Thornhill and arranger, Gil Evans who collaborated with Miles on this seminal work and others over the course of his career. Not only did Miles play an important role in this transformation of jazz but he personified “cool” in his own personal style and attitude.
