thats what my choice is from too. "the birth of the cool" is so fucking.....cool.
thats actually probably where my interest in jazz begins. i mean, i like some of the 40s thelonious monk (but not as nearly as much as his later stuff, which is oozing with brilliance), some of charles mingus's early recordingsa with louis armstrong (but cmon, this doesnt even compare to what the guy would be doing to bass 15 years later), some dizzy gillepsie, some charlie parker, but the 'birth of the cool' really signified a new era of creativity and originality in jazz. it was now to be seen as a music with potential to be very unusual and sometimes strange, instead of something to snap your fingers too while having some drinks in a dim-lit bar. the importance of miles's early recordings can not be denied.
