In celebration of the centennial of trumpeter Miles Davis, the Marcus Shelby Nonet presents Birth of the Cool: Revisited, featuring music from the groundbreaking Davis recording performed in its original instrumentation. Birth of the Cool was not a singular session, but the composite work of a young innovative genius at the beginning of a long and storied career; surrounded and supported by a group of forward thinking musicians, composers, and arrangers. Birth of the Cool remains one of the most enduring recordings in the history of music – let alone jazz. 

The Marcus Shelby Nonet consists of nine San Francisco Bay Area master musicians, all of whom are a part of the Marcus Shelby New Orchestra: Heidi Tretheren on French horn, Remee Ashley on trombone, Mike Olmos on trumpet, Tony Peebles on alto saxophone, Melecio Magdaluyo on baritone saxophone, Jonathan Seiberlich on tuba, Greg Jacobs on piano, Shelby on bass, and Jemal Ramirez on drums.
