Cookin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet is an album recorded in 1956 by the Miles Davis Quintet in Rudy Van Gelder‘s studio in Hackensack, New Jersey, and released in July 1957. As the musicians had to pay for the studio time (a result of a rather modest contract with Prestige), their recordings are practically live. Two sessions on 11 May and 26 October 1956 resulted in four albums — this one, Relaxin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet, Steamin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet and Workin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet.
It was the first of the four LPs to be released. In response to the album title, Davis said, “After all, that’s what we did—came in and cooked.”
The album was originally released in the US in 1957.
