Miles Davis - Steamin' With the Miles Davis Quintet

Miles Davis - Steamin' With the Miles Davis Quintet

All of the stylistic elements that made Miles Davis’ 1956 quintet one of the immortal bands in jazz history are on display in this 1961 release. “Surrey with the Fringe on Top” and “Diane” are medium-tempo standards that highlight the contrast between the leader’s Harmon-muted horn, the explorations of John Coltrane’s tenor sax and Red Garland’s sparkling piano. “Salt Peanuts” and “Well, You Needn’t,” each a modern jazz classic, allow for intense swinging over the beat of Paul Chambers’ bass and Philly Joe Jones’ drums. And “Something I Dreamed Last Night” and “When I Fall in Love” give us vulnerable, visceral ballad playing by Davis that remains unsurpassed.
