🎺 The Cool Jazz Era 🎷

🎶 What is Cool Jazz?

Cool Jazz emerged in the late 1940s in the United States as a style marked by relaxed tempos and lighter tones, in contrast to the fast and complex bebop style. Key figures in this movement include Miles Davis, Gerry Mulligan, and Stan Getz.

This style took inspiration from classical music, using formal arrangements and incorporating elements such as counterpoint. It became a major influence in West Coast jazz.
