Concord, 1961
Despite being released in the early 60s, “Steamin’” belonged to another decade – and another, younger, Miles Davis. It was recorded five years earlier, in 1956, when Miles was 30 and leading one of the most exciting and trailblazing new groups in jazz: a quintet comprising tenor saxophonist John Coltrane – then a relatively unfamiliar name, even to well-informed jazz fans. The group had been setting the New York jazz scene alight with their performances at the Café Bohemia – so much so that Columbia Records wanted to sign the trumpeter. But before that could happen, Miles had to meet his contractual obligations to Prestige, which resulted in two final sessions for the label, held on May 11 and October 26, 1956. They would yield four classic albums for Bob Weinstock’s indie imprint, released over five years: “Cookin’,” “Relaxin’ ,” “Workin’,” and “Steamin’.” An Original Jazz Classics pressing.
