Steamin' With the Miles Davis Quintet

Steamin' With the Miles Davis Quintet

The last album from Davis’ first great quintet shows the group in top form, giving a sultry nightclub air to the standard “Something I Dreamed Last Night". When covering Dizzy Gillespie’s “Salt Peanuts”, Miles engages in fast figures that would make his mentor proud, and John Coltrane’s tenor solo gives an early hint of his sheets-of-sound style to come; meanwhile, drummer Philly Joe Jones takes up the space normally reserved for Diz’s vocal part, contributing chops full of high spirits.
