Classic Miles Davis LP pressed on 180 gram vinyl, with a bonus CD digipack included containing the complete album ‘Birth Of The Cool’ album plus 11 bonus tracks and updated liner notes.

“The virtuosity led to relaxing, stylish mood music as the end result - the very thing that came to define West Coast or ‘cool’ jazz - but this music is so inventive, it remains alluring even after its influence has been thoroughly absorbed into the mainstream.” - **** AllMusic (Stephen Thomas Erlewine)
