Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions [4 CD]

Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions [4 CD]

Originally released in 2006, this critically-acclaimed 4-CD box set is returning to the market with a compact and sleek new look! Miles Davis' famed quintet sessions - featuring John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones - were recorded in three sessions, over the course of a year, beginning in 1955. At the helm was the legendary engineer Rudy Van Gelder, who simulated nightclub sets at his studio. Virtually every one of the 32 tracks in this collection, chronologically sequenced, has become a classic - making up such iconic albums as Miles, Cookin', Relaxin', Workin', Steamin' and Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants. Includes a 52-page booklet with annotation by esteemed Jazz historian Bob Blumenthal, plus audio recordings from eight TV and radio performances by the quintet, and printable transcriptions of 5 of Davis' trumpet solos.<br><br>'Fall in love all over again with irreplaceable music...' - Jazz Times<br><br>'Of all the terrific Miles Davis box sets that have come out recently, this one seems about perfect.' - Popmatters<br><br>'Miles freaks…will have to have this.' - Allmusic.com, 4 out of 5 stars
