Adam Theis and Jazz Mafia take a completely new look at this legendary 1950s album from a 2024 perspective. The music strikes a precarious balance between the old and new - Birth of the Cool’s intricate Chamber/Jazz arrangements are reconstructed and placed in various musical vehicles developed over the past 70 years since the album’s release: Soul Jazz, 70s Fusion, Hip-Hop, Afro-Cuban and even Electronic are also interwoven into the lens of this new perspective.
