Steamin' is the last of the classic albums Prestige Records released from various sessions trumpeter Miles Davis recorded between November 1955 and October 1956 with his historic "first" quintet, including tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones. Together with Cookin' (also available in an audiophile format), Relaxin' (also available in an audiophile format), and Workin' (also available in an audiophile format), Steamin' completes a series of memorable recordings masterfully engineered by Rudy Van Gelder that remains a definitive manifesto from the hard-bop era. One dynamic that gave this quintet its distinctive edge is the contrast between Davis's introspective playing on ballads ("When I Fall In Love," "Something I Dreamed Last Night") and Coltrane's hard-blowing passion ("Salt Peanuts," "Well You Needn't"). Another is the interplay between Garland, Chambers, and Jones, who are not only consummate accompanists, but all-star soloists as well. The version of "Surrey with the Fringe on Top" here is a quintessential performance by this remarkable quintet. --Mitchell Feldman

Album Description

This classic Prestige session (one of four cut for the label by Davis' first permanent group) has been reissued many times. Davis is heard with his classic quintet of 1956 (which featured tenor-saxophonist John Coltrane, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones) performing six numbers, all of which are somewhat memorable. Highpoints are Surrey with the Fringe on Top, Diane and When I Fall in Love; Davis's muted tone rarely sounded more beautiful. 6 tracks.

You just about can't go wrong with Miles Davis. I especially liked his version of Salt Peanuts.

4 out of 5 stars If you don't love it at first, hang in there.......2006-09-17

When the Miles Davis Quintet got together to record four albums worth of material, they naturally recorded a lot of standards. Steamin' has four standards, a song by Dizzy and a song by Monk. My initial reaction was that the quality of the material depending on the quality of the song they chose. After continuing to listen to it, though, the playing by the group shone through clearly. So, is this album as good as, say, Milestones? No. Is this better than most jazz albums? Definitely yes.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent and accessible.......2005-05-25

This is one of four albums compiled from two days of recording in 1955, and all four contain highly satisfying, entertaining jazz music. Davis's developing trumpet sound is distinctive and beautiful, and these are the recordings that put John Coltrane on the map (he didn't release anything under his own name until a few years later). Steamin' is mostly mellow music, although "Salt Peanuts" is a kick in the face, with a fast tempo and a long drum solo. This is highly recommended for anyone with more than a passing interest in Miles Davis.

5 out of 5 stars Desert moon album.......2004-11-03

I'm going to the moon tomorrow and I'm not coming back. Unfortunately, I'm only allowed to bring one album along. This is it. The ironic thing is I'm a huge rock fan. This album is that good. There had to be divine intervention or something when this album was recorded. Sittin on the lip of a crater in the Sea of Tranquillity and gazin back on the shimmering Earth will be that much more sweeter with this beautiful ambiance 'Steamin' through my headphones.

5 out of 5 stars With the Fringe on Top.......2004-10-18

For many years I have nursed a belief that My Funny Valentine on Cookin' was the single best piece of jazz music ever recorded on CD. Some crises of faith-- Lester Young's This Year's Kisses, Dave Brubeck's Take Five, etc.-- had challenged this conviction, but for the first time I think I may have a conversion.

Miles Davis's trumpet on Surrey With The Fringe on Top on this CD is the best that I have ever heard. It is physically impossible for anybody with a soul to be upset while listening to the first 35 seconds of this song.

        STEAMIN' INDEED! Holy Batsh*t Batman, this jams. . . I've heard this recording dozen times, but NOT LIKE THIS! It freakin' LEAPS OUT AT YOU. I don't know what Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab is exactly, but this Ultradisc UHR SACD is the best SACD I have ever heard - a vast improvement over any CD edition I have heard thus far. . .

            Monty Alexander is a bit of a rare bird - his Montreaux Alexander CD, perhaps his best, has been out of print for years. This CD is a suberb substitute - a tight trio, excellent audio in an appropriate ambient space, everything in tune, and that special Monty way of perfection combined with perfect timing and a real sense of the music, buttressed by an overlay occasionally of reggae, but not too much. An absolute foot tapper. The sidemen are superb - an especially innovative and intelligent bassist adds real depth.

              I think this could be their best album. This bandreally lays out some barebones rock on this one and it sounds very good even 25+ years later. Excellent guitar work as usual and great stuff from Ronnie King and Kim Berly as well. ALL the songs on this one truly shine. Highly recommended.

              5 out of 5 stars Steamin is Smoken.......2002-02-06

              This is an album that simply just "rocks" it is straight forward 3 man straight ahead rock. There is really not a weak song on board. Here to Rock and Roll and Rock of Gibralter carry the sound of the album with great riffs from Rich Dodson to the pounding bass lines from Ronnie King. The drumming is hard and to the point especially on New Orleans. If you want to hear late 70`s straight ahead rock n roll this is the one.
