Birth of the cool (1957) - Miles Davis

 Review do Bugio

Miles Davis was a temperamental guy with a great talent. This album was stupendous, happy, easy to listen, a bit of a pop-jazz in my opinion (or harmonic "cool" Jazz as some might call it.)

There is nice story about him and the Brazilian maestro Hermeto Pascoal: In 1974 Hermeto had been invited by Airton Moreira to write some songs in New York. Miles Davis came along and asked to listen to some of Hermeto's work (they were both living around Central Park at the time) at Davis' house. Hermeto brought his guitar with him and they played 12 songs and they ended up recording 2 songs together. Hermeto's name didn't get printed in the first edition of the album, but did on the second (I'll research the name of the album). After Davis' death, Hermeto's name was deleted again. I think Miles was surrounded by bastards who had more interest on the money than music. Miles is cool though.
