o The complete seminal album Birth of the Cool (1950), released here on a special 180 gram vinyl pressing, brought together the talents of Miles Davis, Gerry Mulligan, John Lewis and Gil Evans, among others.

o Although it is highly revered today, the music of the Miles Davis Nonet left the audiences of the late 1940s indifferent. However, the group was highly popular among other musicians, and served as an inspirational force to a multitude of other bands and individuals over many generations.

o Miles Davis, trumpet on all tracks, accompanied by: Kai Winding (tb), Lee Konitz (as), Gerry Mulligan (bar), Al Haig (p), Max Roach (d). J.J. Johnson (tb), John Lewis (p), Kenny Clarke (d), Gunther Schuller (fhr), and many others.
