NYJO: Birth of the Cool
A nostalgic, underground big band night.
The UK’s premier jazz ensemble for young professionals, NYJO, celebrates the 100th anniversary of Miles Davis’s birth. The performance features fresh arrangements alongside historical repertoire from the iconic 1949/1950 'Birth of the Cool' sessions. These recordings were known for moving away from bebop towards a gentler, more composed sound that helped define the cool jazz movement. This specific show is led by trumpeter Tom Stringer and performed by a nonet of talented young musicians.
