Workin' With The Miles Davis Quintet
Incl. taxes (plus applicable )
Release date: 12 May 2023
In the mid-1950s, the Miles Davis Quintet was undeniably one of the best small bands in the history of jazz and consisted of an all-star lineup: Miles Davis (trumpet), John Coltrane (tenor saxophone), Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums). This reissue of their third album, “Workin',” is part of the Original Jazz Classics Series and was pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI and analog mastered from the original tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio.
About Original Jazz Classics:
Original Jazz Classics was launched in 1982 under Fantasy Records and revived in 2023 with a focus on audiophile reissues of groundbreaking jazz recordings. With over 850 reissued titles to date from the groundbreaking catalogs of Prestige, Riverside, Galaxy, Contemporary, Jazzland, Milestone, and others, OJC remains a reliable source for discovering and rediscovering jazz.
Since its reintroduction, the series has garnered much praise from critics, with Record Collector Magazine declaring, “The sound is out of this world.” Tracking Angle called the OJC reissue of Thelonious Monk's “Monk's Music” ‘remarkable’ and “the best-sounding pressing” of the album to date. Absolute Sound raved about the stereo reissue of Mal Waldron's “The Quest,” noting that it “sounds fabulous—full-bodied, immediate, and crackling with energy.” Jazzwise praised the “unparalleled” quality of the series, describing the reissues as ‘exceptional’ and “stunningly eloquent” sounding. Qobuz highlighted the remastering, raving that it “breathes pulsating life into the original tapes.”
