This release presents the complete original LP The Miles Davis Quintet & Sextet, containing material from three different Miles Davis sessions recorded for Columbia from 1955 to 1961. Four extra tracks from the same sessions have been added here as a bonus. The first four tracks from the legendary quintet completed by John Coltrane (tenor sax), Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums). These are followed by a 1958 sextet session where once again Coltrane and Chambers were in the group, alongside Cannonball Adderley on alto sax, Bill Evans on piano and Jimmy Cobb on drums. Finally there are three live at the Blackhawk tracks (1961) with Chambers, Cobb, Wynton Kelly on piano and tenor sax player Hank Mobley.
