#NowPlaying #Workin’ by the #MilesDavis Quintet. This has just arrived - #OJC & NM - & so gets the first spin of the day.

This was a conspicuous gap in my Miles at Prestige collection. On a first listen, with no other version with which to compare, it sounds plenty good: clean, dynamic, & rich.

The jacket is light card, but the price was bang on. I’m assuming #AnalogueProductions will reissue this series ‘cos the secondary prices are insane.

Photo of a record album cover balanced on a wooden stand. The cover is a photo, black and white, of Miles Davis, besuited, stood in front of what appears to be a factory. Miles is holding a cigarette, half-way between his waist and mouth, his elbow at a near right angle. He is squinting into the camera, his face obscured in half-shadow. Across the top edge of the cover, in off white lettering, ‘Workin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet’. Beneath this, in cleaner white, ‘John Coltrane | Red Garland | Paul Chambers | “Philly” Joe Jones | Prestige 7166’.
Photo of a record spinning on the skeletal frame of a Rega P8 turntable. The centre label is yellow with black type face. Curved along the top of the label is printed, ‘Prestige’. At the foot of the label, ‘Long Playing Microgroove’. There is more text, but this is indistinct and cannot be read. The tone arm, suspending the red cartridge, traces the opening track.

Rare day off work & #NowPlaying #Cookin’ with the #MilesDavis Quintet.

I love these #Prestige recordings & the line up here is unbelievable: #JohnColtrane, #RedGarland, #PhillyJoeJones, & #PaulChambers.

This is from #OJC, likely cut from digital, but it really does sound good, particularly for the money. Despite the light weight card, the reproduction of that iconic sleeve is on point.

#Workin’ (OJC) arrives tomorrow to complete the series.

Photo of a record album cover. The cover is white with an ink sketch of the valves of a trumpet, fingers pressing the keys. The typeface across the top of the sleeve reads, Cookin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet/Prestige 7094.
