  | Wednesday, May 8th at 9pm: The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present Origin of Animal compiling its largest group to date performing Miles Davis' "Birth of The Cool", released in 1957. ALBUM BACKGROUND: "These three sessions -- two from early 1949, one from March 1950 -- are where the sound known as cool jazz essentially formed, Birth of the Cool remains one of the defining, pivotal moments in jazz. This is where the elasticity of bop was married with skillful, big-band arrangements and a relaxed, subdued mood that made it all seem easy, even at its most intricate...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" ~Stephen Thomas Erlewine PERFORMANCES BY: Trevor Watkin - Flute Dov Turner - Clarinet Richard Zili - Clarinet Coleen Corning - Bass Clarinet Amos Gillespie - Alto Sax Andy Schlinder - Tenor Sax Kyle Madsen - Tenor Sax James Baum - Tenor Sax Marcus Padgett - Bari Sax John Dorhauer - Trumpet Justin Amolsch - French Horn Matt Davis - Trombon Scott Tegge - Tuba Andy Deitrich - Mallets Matt Gunsaulus - Keyboard Rich Poston - Guitar Liz Johnson - Violin Traci Newhouse - Viola Nora Barton - Cello Dave Keller - Cello Dan Thatcher - Bass John Chadwick - Drums ADMISSION & LOCATION: $10 admission.
