ISSUE 78: EARLY COOL

The Magazine
After the heat of swing and the fire of be-bop, jazz found a cool spell. In the footsteps of Lester Young, and often from the ranks of the Woody Herman and Stan Kenton orchestras, came dry, elegant saxophonists such as Stan Getz, Brew Moore and Allan Eager.

The Music
Hear history in the making as Miles Davis rehearses the 'Birth of the Cool' band, Gerry Mulligan arranges for Claude Thornhill, Wardell Gray emerges from the Benny Goodman Orchestra and Lennie Tristano rewrites modern jazz piano in 'I Can't Get Started'.
