| Darius Milhaud (1892 - 1974) |
Branford Marsalis (alto saxophone), -w- the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra | Le Creation du Monde | Classical, 20th Century/French | Sony, 2001 | Darius Milhaud was a member of a group of French composers (more a group of friends than an organized group or collective) called Les Six. They did not collaborate on their music, but they often banded together for exhibitions and other such showings. Milhaud and Erik Satie (not so much a member as an inspiration for the group) are the most famous members. Milhaud is well known for the jazz influence heard in his music, and one of his students was Dave Brubeck. |
| Miles Davis | Move | Jazz, "Cool", post-bebop | Blue Note, 1949 | Davis had been playing in Charlie Parker's quintet up to that point, and this was his first attempt at leading a band. Gil Evans does the arranging, with clear influence from Stan Kenton and Claude Thornhill, whose orchestra several of the "Birth of the Cool" players had worked with prior. Yes, you do hear a tuba in the band. "Budo" named after noted bop pianist Bud Powell. | |
