Great album but I wish it was in stereo My only complaint is that it would be so much better in stereo (it's a mono recording). This is a great classic album. .
great album photo
unlike mileses later works kind of blue and '58 which seem to have stood the test of time better. despite playing with a electic mix of players that would go on to greatness of their own birth of the cool has a very dated feel to it. . . one of the weakness's of cool is probably due to the fact that so many band members needed to strech out so the album suffer from a cohesiveness that a true band brings to the table. . but it miles and it worth a listen.
cool
birth of the cool was an omen of things to come. glad to have it at last. tight small sized combo,with deeper sounds.
HAD TO HAVE IT!!
This is a must have for any classic jazz collection. I wish I had bought this in my teens, better late than never.
Cool on cool
Miles Davis is wonderful - if you're into it this is a classic - a little too much for us. the CD was just as described; it was just that we're not that fond of jazz I guess.
