Popis
The Miles Davis Quintet of 1955-'57 was a phenomenon that made the jaws of many drop. Their magic and fluid playing in the fast lane was best experienced live on stage. One who witnessed the group's rise was the usually sober music journalist Ralph Gleason, who later wrote: "I heard this band many nights at the Blackhawk in San Francisco, for which I am grateful...they howled. And they didn't need to warm up...the sheer intensity was exhilarating. Fast or slow, they made every beat sound like it was born in an atom-splitting burst of energy." The quintet was a phenomenon. In their exuberant full-throttle phase, the group just had so much to offer: Coltrane's raw, angular - at times endless - tenor improvisations. Garland's fiery left-hand chord work. Philly Joe's exciting cymbal work and driving rimshots. Miles' restrained, muted trumpet. Chambers' deft and soulful solos with the bow. For years after the quintet's debut, jazz journalists were still amazed by their interactivity. "The complexity of the connection between the minds of these musicians has not, in my opinion, been equaled by any other group," wrote Gleason. Prestige president Bob Weinstock praised them as "the Louis Armstrong Hot Five of the modern era." When Columbia Records wanted to sign Miles away from Prestige in 1956, he still had a considerable amount of time left on his three-year contract. George Avakian of Columbia recalled that Miles devised a win-win situation that made both labels happy: Miles had a crazy idea and it worked. He said, "Tell Bob Weinstock you'd love to record me, and you won't put out the masters until the end of my [Prestige] contract, which is in about two years. In the meantime, they can stockpile albums, and when Columbia puts out my first album, you guys will advertise and promote it, right?" "Sure we will," I said "So Prestige will benefit from it..." And that's exactly what Prestige did: in 1956, Miles and his quintet recorded four albums of tracks in two marathon sessions, most of them from their well-rehearsed live set list of jazz standards, with no repeats. To this day, the quartet's gerunds - Cookin', Relaxin', Workin' and Steamin' - are considered the pinnacle of small group jazz improvisation. The tunes also reveal the group's particular strengths: their cohesive swing - and Coltrane's growing confidence - on bangers like "Salt Peanuts," "I Could Write A Book," Rollins' "Oleo" and Miles' "Tune Up." Their penchant for jaunty mid-tempo numbers, closely following Ahmad Jamal's renditions of "If I Were A Bell" and "Surrey With The Fringe On Top." Their ability to reinterpret certain structures, like Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight", and make them their own. The beautiful songs: Miles alone with the rhythm section, Coltrane pulling the strings as he so often does on the trumpeter's ballads. Miles' performances of "My Funny Valentine" and "It Never Entered My Mind" proved career-enhancing, revealing the inner sensitivity he spent a lifetime hiding with a street-tough exterior. The Miles Davis Quintet was undeniably one of the best small bands in the history of jazz in the mid-1950s, featuring an all-star lineup of Miles Davis (trumpet), John Coltrane (tenor sax), Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums). This reissue of their third album, "Workin'," is released as part of the Original Jazz Classics Series and was pressed on 180-gram vinyl by RTI and analog mastered from the original tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio.
