Miles Davis – Cookin’ With The Miles Davis Quintet (Full Album)
Cookin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet is an album recorded in 1956 by the Miles Davis Quintet in Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Hackensack, New Jersey, and released in July 1957. As the musicians had to pay for the studio time (a result of a rather modest contract with Prestige), their recordings are practically live. Two sessions 11 May 1956 and 26 October in the same year resulted in four albums—this one, Relaxin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet, Steamin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet and Workin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet.
It was the first of the four LPs to be released. In response to the album title, Davis said, “After all, that’s what we did—came in and cooked”.
Miles Davis – trumpet
John Coltrane – tenor saxophone
Philly Joe Jones – drums
Red Garland – piano
Paul Chambers – bass

今宵のディナージャズ「West Coast Conference」Bill Perkins '57
マイルスのリズムセクションがウエストコースト・ジャズを演ってる!またマニアックなのを買ってしまいました。500円ちょいで安かったし。
タイトルで分かる様に、西海岸のビル・パーキンス(ts)版「ミーツ・ザ・リズムセクション」(チェンバースとフィリー・ジョーのみ)。面白いのがジャック・モントローズ(ts)が参加して、思っ切り西海岸のアレンジものをこの二人のリズムセクションが折目正しく演ってるところ。でも、ソロになるとすぐに彼等だと分かります。
ザ・マイルス・バンド!っていう彼等らしさを前面に出したアート・ペッパーとのセッションと違って、ちゃんと西海岸ぽさを演出しながらの演奏で、なんか不思議な感じだけど違和感なく聴けるのが彼等の仕事人としての凄さだと思います。で、ソロで持って行くところも。
モントローズはイマイチ好きになれないテナー。やはりビル・パーキンス狙いで買ったのですが、いい感じでプレイはしてるものの、変態度合いが少ないのでちと残念。やはりリーダーだと真面目になるタイプ。折角の面白セッションだからもっと暴れて欲しかったな。
Affinityレーベルは数枚持ってたと思いますが、これは古い録音ですが音質はまぁまぁってとこです。

ROLLINS & TRANE
(English / Español)
Sonny Rollins John Coltrane Tenor Madness: listen here
It is a 12-minute duet between the saxophones of Rollins and Coltrane, and the bluesy melody of the piece has become, over the years, one of the best known in Rollins' repertoire. It is easy to distinguish the sound of the two musicians in the piece, Coltrane has a more ringing sound while Rollins sounds more relaxed and melodic. Despite the differences in 'sound' the two saxophonists complement each other, and the piece does not turn into a competition between the two.
In 1956 he recorded the album Tenor Madness, using Davis' legendary band, consisting of pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones. The title track is Rollins' only recording with John Coltrane, who was also a member of Davis' band.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Se trata de un dúo de 12 minutos entre los saxofones de Rollins y Coltrane, y la melodía bluesy de la pieza se ha convertido, con el paso de los años, en una de las más conocidas del repertorio de Rollins. Es fácil distinguir el sonido de los dos músicos en la pieza, Coltrane tiene un sonido más sonoro mientras que Rollins suena más relajado y melódico. A pesar de las diferencias de "sonido", los dos saxofonistas se complementan y la pieza no se convierte en una competición entre ambos.
En 1956 grabó el álbum Tenor Madness, con la legendaria banda de Davis, formada por el pianista Red Garland, el bajista Paul Chambers y el batería Philly Joe Jones. El tema que da título al álbum es la única grabación de Rollins con John Coltrane, que también formaba parte de la banda de Davis.
