| Description: | Miles Davis?? first classic quintet was formed in 1955
and is widely regarded as one of the greatest combos
in jazz history. Steamin?? was the fourth and last in a
series of four albums featuring the group recorded
between May and October of 1956. Although there
are no original tunes on this LP, it gives ample proof
of Miles?? and the group??s ability to transform any
tune into their own. According to reviewer Lindsay
Planer, ????Surrey with the Fringe on Top?? is passed
between the mates like an old joke. There are two
well-placed nods to fellow bop pioneers Charlie
Parker and Dizzy Gillespie on a revision of their
??Salt Peanuts??. Philly Joe Jones?? mimicking cymbal
speak ?? which replicates Gillespie??s original vocals
?? is nothing short of genius.? Two tunes from the
first Prestige LP by the quintet have been added as
a bonus. ??The Theme? would be recorded again in
two shorter versions in 1956 for the LP Workin??.
