Product Information "Miles Davis: Birth Of The Cool" premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and was an official selection at the 2019 BFI London Film Festival. The film was screened in limited numbers in select cinemas in the US, Canada and Europe, culminating in a screening at the London Jazz Festival at the Barbican on 16 November. Nelson's documentary has been hailed by critics as a compelling key to understanding the life, art and genius of Miles Davis. Owen Gleiberman, writing in Variety (30 January 2019), praised the film as ".... a poignant portrait: rich, probing, mournful, romantic, triumphant, tragic, thrilling and poignantly honest..... Nelson is a filmmaker with a sixth sense for how to approach contemporary history." Joel Selvin of the San Francisco Chronicle called "New documentary on Miles Davis an essential portrait of the iconic jazz genius" (September 3, 2019). "I remember stealing my father's copy of 'Kind Of Blue' to take to college. I've been fascinated by Miles ever since and have long dreamed of telling his story. He was an extraordinary force of nature for me; the epitome of cool," said director Stanley Nelson. "This film is very special to me, and curating the soundtrack has given me the opportunity to delve even deeper into his archive so that die-hard fans and new listeners can discover something new." With full access to Miles Davis' legacy, the film features never-before-seen footage, including studio outtakes from his recording sessions, rare photographs and new interviews with Quincy Jones, Carlos Santana, Clive Davis, Wayne Shorter and Ron Carter, among others. Selected audio excerpts from the interviews are included as commentaries on the album.
