Description
Limited edition 180g vinyl - audiophile pressing, the complete album + 1 bonus track.
One of the most iconic albums by the legendary 1956 Miles Davis Quintet,
'Workin'was the third in a series of four albums by the same formation, the others being 'Cookin', 'Relaxin',and 'Steamin'.
'Workin' is the product of two recording sessions from May and October of 1956. Contradicting the standard method of preparing fresh material for upcoming albums, Davis decided to produce a studio version of their club repertoire. The LP includes the group's legendary versions of 'Four' and 'It Never Entered My Mind' .

One of the four immortal albums the Miles Davis Quintet featuring John Coltrane recorded for the Prestige label during the two marathon sessions during 1956; resulting in the four albums 'Workin' (presented here), Relaxin', Steamin'and Cookin'.

"This is the sort of thing that is going to be owned and played and dug and redug for all time. Few bands in the history of jazz have had the quality of this group. The whole LP is a gas. I don't see how anyone can do without it." - ***** DOWN BEAT (Ralph J. Gleason)
