Miles Davis "The New Miles Davis Quintet" Unreleased Analog Productions RTI 180g Test Pressing.
AP 7014 A1/B1
This 33-RPM 180 gram Test Pressing has a white label and comes in a plain white jacket with no cover art. This was never sold to the public in individual form,was only released as part of the "Prestige Recordings" 5 LP Boxset back in 1996
Although they had made a few slightly earlier cuts that would later be issued on Columbia, the first full-length album by the Miles Davis Quintet is quite intriguing in that it gives one a look at tenor saxophonist John Coltrane when he still had a hesitant style. This audiophile LP reissue has the same music that is currently available on an Original Jazz Classics set: five jazz standards plus "The Theme." Unlike Coltrane, who would develop rapidly within the next year, Miles was already very much in his prime, sounding quite lyrical on "Just Squeeze Me" and "There Is No Greater Love," and the classic rhythm section (pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones) was quickly starting to gel.
This is the first LP to be issued featuring the Miles Davis Quintet — a group that was to become one of the most influential small bands of the Fifties. It also introduced John Coltrane to the jazz public, launching him on his significant career. Davis’ singular mastery with a mute, exemplified on The Musings of Miles, is further emphasized, as is Red Garland’s penchant for picking “new” old standards for Miles.
