A mid-price, 4CD slipcase-set on the new Essential Jazz Classics series - containing the complete studio recordings, October 1955 to October 1956, by Miles Davis with the famous Coltrane-Garland-Chambers-Philly Joe Jones quintet. Included are the Prestige albums “Miles”, “Workin’”, “Steamin’”, “Relaxin’” & “Cookin’” and the Columbia album “Round About Midnight” (recorded for Prestige but issued on the new label after his new contract). This is the first time this group’s complete body of studio work has been issued on one set.

“Miles’ ’56 quintet cut these records to round out a contract before moving on to Columbia, and yet they represent a purple patch in his output…at their greatest they bespeak an extraordinary sense of spontaneity, a brilliant assemblage of players in creative flux” - Penguin Guide To Jazz.

There are also two rare bonus tracks featuring Miles with Brass Ensemble of the Jazz-Classical Music Society, conducted by Gunther Schuller and including J.J.Johnson, Milt Hinton & Ossie Johnson - recorded in June & October ’56.

Reviews

Jazzwise - Keith Shadwick

This is the first collection I've come across that chronologically combines the Columbia and Prestige sessions so that you've got a nice continuity going.
