One of UC Davis’s highest priorities is the safety of its
students and all members of its community. UC Davis
prohibits all forms of sexual harassment and sexual violence,
including sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and
stalking. Such conduct violates University policy and may
violate California law.

In 1949 Miles Davis recorded the legendary album “Birth of
the Cool,” which helped to grow a new branch in the history of
jazz music. ‘Cool’ Jazz is a style of playing which emphasizes
a lighter feel and less complexity than ‘Bebop’; which was also
a budding style when Miles Davis made this recording. “Birth of
the Cool” features a unique-sized 9-piece band, as well as
unusual instrumentation, including horn and tuba. The
Byron Colborn Nonet breathes new life into this music with some
of the Sacramento area’s top musicians.
