ABOUT BIRTH OF THE COOL
Gil Evans’ apartment on 55th street became a hangout for many musicians and listen to music Gil borrowed from the library,(Prokofiev, Bartok and others). It was here that these musicians discussed the formation of a small band that would duplicate the sound and homogeneity of the Claude Thornhill big band whom Gil Evans had been its chief arranger and musical director. Thornhill no longer wanted to continue the ‘modern jazz’ direction Evans favored. This ensemble had an unusual horn instrumentation of Alto Sax, Baritone Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn, Tuba, plus the traditional piano, bass, and drums for the rhythm section. One of the musicians whom everyone envisioned in the trumpet chair was Miles Davis. Davis was enthusiastic and took the ensemble over, calling rehearsals and getting the group their one and only gig at the Royal Roost. Everyone associated with the group contributed music, but baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan contributed most of what was recorded. This ensemble only existed from 1948-1950, but left a lasting impression on the jazz community. They recorded on Capital Records and two radio broadcasts. Some of the sides were not released until 1956 with an overwhelming positive response, particularly in Europe. It wasn’t until 1971 that all twelve recordings were released in Europe, then 1972 in the US.
