The style was around long before Miles Davis got into it. It originated during WWII, and was a general movement, with no known inventor. Miles Davis is thought to have invented it, because he seemed to understand the concept the best.

Cool Jazz was a response to Bebop, which was becoming more and more about faster tempos and fast scales. Cool jazz slowed everything down, and was meant to focus more on composition of the song, with more intricate arrangements and chordal forms.
