Miles Davis’ Prestige Sessions: They’re Like “The Holy Grail” Of Jazz.

Some of the most spectacular jazz of the 50s (or of any era, for that matter) appears on The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions. It is a 6LP/5CD compilation that brings together all of the sides recorded for Bob Weinstock’s jazz indie label by Miles Davis and his groundbreaking young group. 

When the quintet formed in July 1955, saxophonist John Coltrane, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones were all relatively unknown to the music-buying public, but that situation would quickly change. Indeed, they would quickly become revered by jazz fans as gods.

Sixty-three years on, the world is still talking about the Miles Davis Quintet’s Prestige recordings. “These are gems to me,” says Vince Wilburn. “They’re like the Holy Grail.”

His cousin, Erin Davis, echoes his sentiments. “They’re just that good,” he enthuses. “Getting that band together, doing those tracks and immortalising it on tape – I love my dad for that. The tunes are what they are, but those guys make them so much more.”
