Davis’ seminal Birth Of The Cool was recorded in 1949-1950, with a group including Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz, Max Roach, John Lewis and arranger Gil Evans; the album was released in 1957.

Though Complete Birth Of The Cool, which includes a remastered version of Birth of Cool alongside live session recordings from 1949-1950, was released digitally in 1999, this marks its first vinyl release.

The new edition includes a retrospective by jazz historian Ashley Kahn, was well as liner notes by Mulligan and writer Phil Schaap.
