Cool jazz is a subgenre of jazz that emerged in the 1940s and 1950s. It is characterized by a more relaxed, subtle and less energetic sound than the bebop jazz that was popular at the time.
Cool jazz musicians sought to distinguish themselves by using sophisticated harmonies, slower tempos, softer arrangements, and by avoiding the aggressiveness and virtuosity of bebop.
