Miles Davis - Relaxin" with the Miles Davis Quintet (1957)


This CD comes from the marathon 1956 Prestige sessions with the first of Miles Davis"s great quintets: John Coltrane on tenor, Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums

As different as the two horns are, they reflect the band"s ineffable mix of hot and cool elements, from Garland"s masterful vamps to the explosive power of Philly Joe Jones. Davis and his cohort were defining the modern mainstream, providing models that are still durable today.
