| Sumario: | Birth of the Cool, a compilation album by jazz great Miles Davis, was released in 1957, the year before I was born. That album defined ""cool jazz"": elegant, distant, hip, and stylish. Davis and his eight co- musicians made it all look so easy. From the time I was very young, I was trying to be as cool as Davis's jazz: aloof, intellectual, desired, mysterious, alluring, and perfect. Only in my fifties did I understand that I had to relinquish this striving and rebirth the uncool parts of me--those bits that are sentimental, awkward, and vulnerable. This book is an eclectic and uncoolly access. |
