BIRTH OF THE COOL: The three Birth of the Cool recording sessions took place approximately sixty years ago. There were three sessions, on January 29, 1949,
April 22, 1949 and March 9, 1950. Four tunes were cut at each session, making a total of twelve tunes.
Forty-three years later, participant Gerry Mulligan re-recorded each of these tunes
with some alterations to the arrangements. On Wednesday we’ll play each tune, in the order in which they were actually recorded, immediately followed by Gerry Mulligan’s 1992 version.
We’ll also plug the Impressions in Jazz Orchestra’s April 16 concert @ D.C.U.C.
and Roddy Ellias’ encounter with fellow guitarist Lucas Haneman at the CafĂ© Paradiso on April 17.
