Miles Davis – Birth of the Cool – Compact Disc

Description

Miles Davis – Birth of the Cool – Compact Disc

Birth of the Cool collects the compact, carefully arranged sessions that helped define cool jazz. Miles Davis leads ensembles featuring unusual instrumental colors and tightly written parts, favoring balance, space and tone over the extended blowing format common to many later jazz recordings.

RVG Edition

All previous reissues of this material have been derived from the 1957 12-inch LP master, which turns out to be second or third generation. The original tapes of each tune were filed individually and sound considerably better. Rudy Van Gelder returned to these masters, transferred them in 24-bit to digital and worked his sonic magic. The result is a clearer and more present sound than ever before on these classic recordings

The sequence opens with “Move,” continues through “Jeru” and “Moon Dreams,” and closes with “Darn That Dream.”

Brand new, never played and still sealed in the factory plastic
