| 3.9 excellent | Erwann S. STAFF | May 29th 20 |
The dude invented cool. Calm and elegant, cool jazz marks a stark opposition to the frenzy bebop and manages to incorporate polyrhythms in a non-aggressive way. Basically it's one of the most nonchalantly controlled jazz records you could find. Btw it came out in 1957, but it was recorded in 1949! Dude was a genius. It's not my fave Davis' iteration, but the next time you want to read a book or let hemp's swift haziness absorb you, jam this.

| 3.5 great | Zilla2112 | February 9th 12 |
A great collection of (mostly) jazz standards played by Davis and a variety of other musicians. It's not his best work by any means, but it's worth a listen for anyone who's into jazz.

Almost boring. Godchild and Rocker songs save this album (the rest is average). My advise is: skip this one and go
directly to the later (and superb) records e.g. Kind of Blue; In a Silent Way.
