Miles Davis - Relaxin' With The Miles Davis Quintet - Vinyl LP Record

"Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet" is a masterpiece in any form. Miles Davis (trumpet) founded the band in 1955 with his colleagues John Coltrane (tenor saxophone), Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums). At that time they were not yet among the big names in the business

This album - "Relaxing with the Miles Davis Quintet" - and its counterparts from the Prestige series (Cookin', Workin' and Steamin' with the Miles Davis Quintet) re-established Miles Davis in the upper jazz league. From then on, he and his quintet belonged to the small group of the best jazz combos around. The recording got the name "Relaxin'" because of the ballad-like execution and various very easy parts

The album "Relaxin'" remains in any case as one of the joyful works by Miles Davis and as one of the best examples of one of the outstanding jazz quintets of the 20th century.
