New Grove jazz: Cool jazz (diverse styles of modern jazz variously perceived as subdued, understated, or emotionally cool; players themselves often voiced distaste for the label; most saxophonists were disciples of Lester Young; a number of trumpeters drew on the style of Miles Davis; cool drummers played more quietly and conservatively than other modern jazz drummers; no well-defined cool jazz piano style)
