THE MILES DAVIS QUINTET "COOKIN' WITH THE MILES DAVIS QUINTET"
"ULTIMATE AUDIOPHILE PRESTIGE MONO REISSUES FROM ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS. SOME OF THE MOST COLLECTIBLE, RAREST AND BEST SOUNDING RUDY VAN GELDER RECORDINGS EVER MADE. ALL CUT FROM THE ANALOG MONO ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES BY KEVIN GRAY. PRESSED ON 180 GRAM VIRGIN VINYL AT QUALITY RECORD PRESSINGS, SALINA, KS. AND PLATED BY GARY SALSTROM."
"OF MILES DAVIS'S MANY BANDS, NONE WAS MORE INFLUENTIAL AND POPULAR THAN THE QUINTET WITH JOHN COLTRANE, RED GARLAND, PAUL CHAMBERS, AND PHILLY JOE JONES. DAVIS'S MUTED BALLADS AND MEDIUM-TEMPO STANDARDS ENDEARED HIM TO THE PUBLIC. THE HORNS' SEARING EXPOSITION OF CLASSICS CAPTIVATED MUSICIANS. THE SEARCHING, RESTLESS IMPROVISATIONS OF COLTRANE INTRIGUED LISTENERS WHO HAD A TASTE FOR ADVENTURE. THE FLAWLESS RHYTHM SECTION BECAME A MODEL FOR BANDS EvERYWHERE."
"COOKIN' WITH THE MILES DAVIS QUINTET" IS THE FIRST CLASSIC ALBUM OF FOUR TOTAL THAT EMERGED FROM TWO MARATHON AND FRUITFUL SESSIONS RECORDED IN 1956 (THE OTHER THREE DISCS RELEASED IN COOKIN'S WAKE WERE "WORKIN', RELAXIN' AND STEAMIN'). ALL THE ALBUMS WERE RECORDED LIVE IN THE STUDIO, AS DAVIS SOUGHT TO CAPTURE, WITH RUDY VAN GELDER'S EXPERT ENGINEERING, THE SENSE OF A CLUB SHOW A LA THE CAFE BOHEMIA IN NEW YORK, WITH HIS NEW QUINTET, FEATURING TENOR SAXOPHONIST JOHN COLTRANE. IN MILES OWN WORDS, HE SAYS HE CALLED THIS ALBUM "COOKIN' BECAUSE "THAT'S WHAT WE DID--CAME IN AND COOKED". WHAT'S PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT ABOUT THIS DAVIS ALBUM IS HIS FIRST RECORDING OF WHAT BECAME A CLASSIC TUNE FOR HIM: "MY FUNNY VALENTINE". HOT PLAYING IS ALSO RESERVED FOR THE UPTEMPO NUMBER :TUNE UP", WHICH REVS WITH THE ZOOM OF BOTH THE LEADER AND 'TRANE."
