Working with Gil Evans and a carefully assembled nonet, Davis brings in an unusual palette - French horn, tuba, soft brass voicings - that sounds faintly orchestral. 'Move' sets things in motion with a light, quick-footed swing, but already there's a sense of restraint with phrases held back just enough. 'Moon Dreams' drifts in a more suspended register with harmony moving in slow, gauzy layers, while 'Boplicity' carries that same poise, lines gliding rather than pushing. Elsewhere, 'Jeru' and 'Venus De Milo' thread tighter arrangements through that softened frame. It feels less like a break from bebop than a quiet redirection, the music cooling as it goes, which somehow sharpens it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miles Davis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57739771969871,"sku":"5113","price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0887\/6785\/6975\/files\/CS1148397-01A-BIG.jpg?v=1779273506","url":"https:\/\/secondlinerecords.com\/products\/birth-of-the-cool-tone-poet","provider":"Second Line Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
