The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions
''The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions'' is a four compact disc box set of recordings by the Miles Davis Quintet released in 2006 by the Concord Music Group. It collates on three discs the entire set of recordings that made up the Prestige Records albums released from 1956 through 1961 — ''Miles'', ''Cookin''', ''Relaxin''', ''Workin''', and ''Steamin'''. The track "'Round Midnight" was released on the album ''Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants''. The fourth disc contains live material from a television broadcast and in jazz club settings. It peaked at #15 on the Billboard jazz album chart.
==Background==
In the summer of 1955, Davis performed a noted set at the Newport Jazz Festival, and had been approached by Columbia Records executive George Avakian, offering a contract with the label if he could form a regular band.〔Richard Cook. ''It's About That Time: Miles Davis On and Off Record.'' New York: Oxford University Press, 2005. ISBN 978-0-19-532266-8, pp. 44-45.〕 Davis assembled his first regular quintet to meet a commitment at the Café Bohemia in July with Sonny Rollins on tenor saxophone, Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums.〔Cook, p. 45.〕 By the autumn, Rollins had left, and at the recommendation of Jones, Davis replaced Rollins with John Coltrane.〔Cook, p. 46.〕
In January 1951, Prestige Records owner and producer Bob Weinstock signed Davis to a one-year contract;〔Cook, p. 25.〕 Davis would continue to record for the label into 1956. Weinstock gave Davis an advance of $750, but the company's artists' contracts were often manipulative with low royalties, paying nothing for rehearsal time.〔Farah Jasmine Griffin and Salim Washington. ''Clawing at the Limits of Cool: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and the Greatest Jazz Collaboration Ever.'' New York: Thomas Dunne Books, 2008. ISBN 978-0-312-32785-9, pp. 85-86, 160.〕 With his success at Newport and the formation of the Miles Davis Quintet, Davis convinced Avakian to buy out his contract with Prestige.〔Griffin and Washington, p. 86.〕
The terms of the deal between Avakian and Weinstock allowed Davis to record for Columbia but not release any of the material until Davis fulfilled his remaining duty to Prestige.〔Cook, p. 47.〕 Davis took the quintet into the studio for three marathon dates over a one-year period, meeting his contractual obligations efficiently.〔Cook, p. 50.〕 Prestige released the first album ''Miles'' in 1956, with the remaining results of the sessions appearing on albums with homophonic titles released from 1956 up to 1961.
