Miles Davis Birth Of The Cool

x fottermeier. NO!!! from 1957. I repeat, typo error. Session from 49-50. album from 1957, more for record label needs. Tristano released a work rooted in free jazz in 1955. His sessions from 1949-1950 were much more frantic and disorganized, a bit distant from Davis's cool jazz. I don't know, I'm not entirely convinced it's legitimate to attribute the authorship of cool jazz to Lennie (which, by the way, he rejected... for who knows what reason). For me, defining the genre is very important. There are those who hate labeling instead. X Happypippo: you have precious material! well done!

You know KATAKLISMA, I don't want to declare that Davis is the father of cool jazz. The problem is figuring out who should be credited with the paternity (if that's even necessary) of the antithesis of be-bop. Tristano hated definitions, but he continued to build his structured and academic jazz, without ever losing sight of the "Parkerian" roots. For Davis, it was a period, a transition, a starting point. Both, however, embraced enriched, multi-instrumental formulas (see the plethora of saxophones used in Lennie's sessions). But the brazen face, the chameleon, the untamed genius has the face of Davis. Lennie doesn't want to be boxed in, in words, while Miles does in actions. How can you pinpoint exactly who copied whom? I promise to document myself as thoroughly as possible.

Ian Carr, I add, has always appreciated the acid and "uncontrolled" phase of Miles. The book is in Italy gathering dust. What I like about Carr is his lack of bias when talking about the trumpeter. If there's a need to "call out," he doesn't hold back. Let me get my thoughts together HAPPY...

@ kataklisma: yes yes yes it’s a typo!!!! between '49 and '50!!! goodness. Also, cool jazz is a definition used by critics, not by the authors themselves: the inspiration is the title of the work!
@ happypippo: there’s a wonderful and in-depth biography of Davis written by Ian Carr where the growth of the rapport and conniving is described as the sessions progressed between '49 and '50. The spontaneity I’m referring to gradually fades away until it loses its immediate connotation, ending up appearing absolutely schematic, but not for that reason without quality.

What I don't understand about Poletti is....everything. He reviews and comments on everyone and everything. He's everywhere, has clones, names, and a reputation compromised by dark episodes I've gathered by rummaging through old posts. Is Marco Poletti M.Poletti? And what about the comments from EnciclopediaPoletti? Had he been banned and then returned? Had he said he copied everything and now he's doing original material? I'm just curious, but I love the reliability of the derecensori and especially how they build it up. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

Actually, I don’t mention you often in my thousand reviews on PAT. Why is that? Don’t you like it? What jazz do you play? What band are you in? (assuming you are in a band)
