Meh. Only listened to a couple songs.

Doet me een beetje denken aan de lokale harmonie of fanfare. Helaas is dit album veel meer jazz dan ik lief heb. Als het een pianospeler zou zijn, zou ik zeggen dat ik het teveel gepingel vind :-). *

Not my cup of jazz tea

Jazz är för långtråkigt funkar som lounge musik

Not for me

Closest I get to jazz is Steely Dan

Birth of the Cool is a compilation album by jazz musician Miles Davis, with 11 tracks from Davis's nonet during 1949 and 1950. This album - as the name suggests - was the birth of cool jazz music, which is more relaxed and lighter than original jazz at the time. It's like combining jazz and classical music together to create a sophisticated sound. At release, this album didn't make a splash, but listeners did enjoy the change of pace jazz music. Over time, this album has gained more popularity as a result of this style of jazz becoming more popular than the older and faster, "bepop" style. This album is included in this famous list of albums because it's historically significant in the jazz genre. Although I am not a huge fan of jazz music, I did enjoy letting this album play in the background while I worked.

Elevator music at best

Don't like jazz

Hvis jeg var til jazz, så var det fedt. Stadig kaosjazz, men hey. Nu har jeg lyttet det færdigt, og det er som om jeg har lyttet til ét lang kaosnummer. Lettere stresset.

Didn't like it at all. Seems too chaotic. I guess I don't understand jazz...

Jazz is the pits

Rubbish.

I am not cool. I don't understand this, let alone enjoy it at all. I think it's hereditary, I heard my Mum this week say the same thing, she doesn't get it either. I don't know if it's meant to be impressive technically, or in an abstract art kind of way, or is it just avoiding the norm. I could probably learn to get it, but that sounds painful.

I first listened to this when I was in high school. My mom had the CD, and I took it to my room...pretty sure I never gave it back to her. Can’t wait to get back to it.
