The Miles Davis Quintet - Steamin' (1956) [1994 DCC Remaster]
FLAC | EAC | LOG | Scans | 40:21 | 213 MB | RS
Jazz / Hard Bop
Remastered by Steve Hoffman

All selections on Steamin', save for Monk's Well, You Needn't were recorded at the first session. They are all performed with a nonchalant effortlessness that betrays the experience the band has with this familiar material. "Surrey with the Fringe on Top" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! is an example of the unlikely material Davis was to include in his Book. The sound quality is now so refined following remastering that one can hear John Coltrane moving on-mike for his solo. The warmth of the Van Gelder Studio is well retained on Hoffman's remaster. Salt Peanuts, left over from Davis' Be Bop days is wholly complimented by Jones' aggressive drumming. Davis is muted on Something I Dreamed Last Night as he was on the opener, defining what would become the most identifiable trumpet sound of the 1950s.
