Our Take

The iconic jazz pioneer Miles Davis once said, "Don't play what's there, play what's not there." Well, with the release of the album "Miles Davis: Music From And Inspired By Birth Of The Cool. A Film By Stanley Nelson", it's clear that what's not there is any shortage of coolness.

This album, a companion piece to the Stanley Nelson documentary on Davis' legendary "Birth of the Cool" sessions, is a perfect blend of classic Davis tracks and modern interpretations from a diverse range of artists. From the smooth trumpet solos of "Jeru" to the funky rhythms of "Move," each track showcases the undeniable talent of Davis and his band of jazz greats.

But it's not just the original recordings that shine on this album - the modern covers breathe new life into these timeless classics. Artists like Robert Glasper and Lalah Hathaway bring their own unique flair to tracks like "Moon Dreams" and "Boplicity," adding a fresh perspective to the music of a true jazz icon.

So, whether you're a die-hard jazz aficionado or just someone looking to add a little coolness to your music collection, "Miles Davis: Music From And Inspired By Birth Of The Cool" is the perfect album to soundtrack your next late-night listening session. Trust us, Miles would approve.
