A definitive collection of mid-tempo tunes and ballads, this stunning set includes a number of compositions by Miles Davis and Gerry Mulligan. This group of stars delivers a must-have album, easily accessible to any listener—full of incredible, but not dizzyingly fast, improvisational moments and pure musical magic.

Grade: A+.

AllMusic: Miles Davis — Birth of the Cool.
