Description
180g vinyl - high-definition audiophile pressing, the complete album + bonus track.
Miles Davis' quintet was formed in 1955 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest combos in jazz history. Each of its members was an individual creative force that could have easily been a leader. Besides Miles on trumpet, it featured John Coltrane on tenor sax, Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Art Taylor on drums. Cookin' (Prestige 7094) was the first in a series of four albums (its followers were Steamin', Workin' and Relaxin' taped during two massively productive recording sessions during May and October of 1956.
"There are many moments of pure music and emotional joy on this album. As to Miles, his peculiar blend of pure melody and acidulous accents never has sounded better. This is one of the best LPs of the year."- ***** Ralph J. Gleason, DownBeat
