COOL JAZZ
- Emerged in the United States during the late 1940's
- Characterized by relaxed tempos and a lighter tone than that used in the fast and complex bebop style
MILES DAVIS (1926-91)
- He was the leader of various groups, and worked closely with other pioneers
- As a soloist he explored new trumpet sounds and techniques
- He left an extensive recorded legacy, which has become a model for others
- He experimented with modal jazz, e.g. his 'Kind of Blue' album
- His album 'Bitches Brew' is a seminal work of jazz-rock fusion
TRUMPET STYLE
- Used a Harmon mute without stem, and performed close to the microphone
- His style was economical: he used silence effectively as well as pace and timing of melodic phrases and has fewer double-time passages
- Allowed himself a freedom of rhythmic style, able to improvise freely without feeling restricted by bar lines
- Softer in tone than other trumpeters, he favoured the middle register
- Smooth, sustained sound, using carefully spaced chords
