Cookin' With The Miles Davis Quintet was released by Prestige in 1957 and captures the first great Miles Davis Quintet at a creative peak. The group features Davis on trumpet alongside John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones. The music was recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in Hackensack, New Jersey, and it has remained a cornerstone of Davis's catalog ever since.
The album is a short, easygoing set of standards and jazz favorites, opening with a laid-back, intimate take on "My Funny Valentine." Davis's muted trumpet is lyrical and restrained, Coltrane's tenor adds a more searching voice, and the rhythm section swings with effortless precision. It is a warm, approachable listen for longtime jazz fans, and a fine next step for newcomers after Kind of Blue.
