Cookin' with the Miles Davis Quintet is a legendary hard-bop jazz masterpiece originally recorded in 1956 and released on Prestige Records in July 1957. This historic album features the "First Great Quintet" lineup, showcasing Miles Davis on trumpet alongside John Coltrane (tenor saxophone), Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums). Part of a marathon session at Rudy Van Gelder's studio, it captures the raw energy of live, single-take studio playing without rehearsals.
