Miles Davis – Cookin’ With The Miles Davis Quintet

Cookin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet is an album recorded in 1956 by the Miles Davis Quintet in Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Hackensack, New Jersey, and released in July 1957. As the musicians had to pay for the studio time (a result of a rather modest contract with Prestige), their recordings are practically live. Two sessions 11 May 1956 and 26 October in the same year resulted in four albums—this one, Relaxin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet, Steamin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet and Workin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet.

It was the first of the four LPs to be released. In response to the album title, Davis said, “After all, that’s what we did—came in and cooked”.

Personnel: Miles Davis – trumpet John Coltrane – tenor saxophone Philly Joe Jones – drums Red Garland – piano Paul Chambers – bass

Miles Davis ‎- Nefertiti

Nefertiti is the fourth album by Miles Davis‘ second classic quintet , released in March 1968. Recorded on June 7, June 22–23 and July 19, 1967, at Columbia’s 30th Street Studio, the album was Davis’ last fully acoustic album. Davis himself did not contribute any compositions, which were mostly written by Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter.

“Perhaps Nefertiti’s charms are a little more subtle than those of its predecessors, but that makes it intriguing. Besides, this album so clearly points the way to fusion, while remaining acoustic, that it may force listeners on either side of the fence into another direction.” – Stephen Thomas Erlewine/AllMusic.
