The Miles Davis Quintet in 1956 were maybe the best and most accomplished young group in jazz. And the quartet of albums that they recorded on 2 days that year (Cookin’ Steamin’ Relaxin’ and this title Workin’) are some of the most famous and timeless jazz recordings in history. They recorded this heavily over the course of 2 days to satisfy contractual obligations but you wouldn’t know it by hearing the recordings. Davis Coltrane Garland Chambers and Jones are a seamless and incredibly cohesive group playing off each other perfectly and it’s somewhat shocking to know that they only existed in this particular incarnation for less than 3 years. One of the most essential titles in jazz history reissued on Rumble.
