The Miles Davis Quintet - Workin' (1956) [1993 DCC Remaster]

Preceded by Cookin' and Relaxin', Workin' is a mix of standards and originals, up-tempos and ballads, and a trio number, "Ahmad's Blues." The music this quintet made in the mid-Fifties period will live forever: the excitement of the emerging John Coltrane; the informed, melodic swing of Red Garland; the tremendous snap and pop of the rhythm trio of Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones; and Miles's poignancy and intense swing. Originally recorded in 1956, but not released until 1959.
