Hi Bob:

Here are the personnel on the Birth of the Cool recordings. GIL Evans did
some of the arranging. On Boplicity and Moon Dreams as I remember, Maybe
more. BILL Evans recorded with Miles at other times. Some of his great work
is on the sides with Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly, Miles, et al. Some time
in the late 1950s give or take. That was a legendary group also

Cheers,
Steve
