MILES DAVIS "RELAXIN' WITH THE MILES DAVIS QUINTET"
"ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS HAS CONTINUED TO PUSH ITS ALREADY HIGH BAR HIGHER STILL. ITS QUALITY RECORD PRESSINGS PLANT IS DELIVERING THE BEST VINYL DISCS TO BE FOUND, ITS JACKETS AND COVER REPRODUCTION QUALITY HAVE HIT NEW LEVELS, AND IT CONTINUES TO HAVE THE BEST IN THE BIZ-SUCH AS KEVIN GRAY FOR THIS SERIES (25 MONO LP'S FROM THE PRESTIGE LABEL'S EXCEPTIONAL LATE-50'S RUN) CUT LACQUERS FROM ORIGINAL ANALOG MASTER TAPES...THE SOUND HAS A GREAT SENSE OF 'JUMP' OR ENERGY, AND IT'S WARMLY TEXTURED YET PRECISE AND WELL DETAILED, WITH NICE BODY. COLTRANE'S SAX WAS VERY NICELY RECORDED, PLUS THIS WAS WHEN HE WAS REALLY COMING INTO HIS OWN AS A PLAYER." WAYNE GARCIA, THE ABSOLUTE SOUND, DECEMBER 2015
"RELAXIN' WITH THE MILES DAVIS QUINTET" IS IN EVERY WAY A MASTERPIECE. WHEN DAVIS THE TRUMPETER (1926-1991) HAD FORMED THE BAND IN 1955, HIS COLLEAGUES--TENOR SAXOPHONIST JOHN COLTRANE, PIANIST RED GARLAND, BASSIST PAUL CHAMBERS, AND DRUMMER PHILLY JOE JONES--WERE NOT CONSIDERED JAZZ-WORLD-A-LISTERS. AND BEFORE CONQUERING HIS NARCOTICS ADDICTION EARLIER IN THE '50'S, DAVIS HAD SEEN HIS ONCE-PROMISING CAREER GO INTO ECLIPSE. BY 1956, HOWEVER, HIS SOUND, ESPECIALLY WHEN MUTED, WAS AN ACHINGLY PERSONAL COUNTERPART TO THE VOCALS OF BILLIE HOLIDAY AND FRANK SINATRA. RELAXIN' (PLUS ITS PRESTIGE COMPANIONS, MILES, COOKIN', WORKIN' AND STEAMIN') REESTABLISHED DAVIS, AND ELEVATED HIS QUINTET AS THE GOLD STANDARDS OF SMALL GROUPS."
