Garland plays piano on side A and Mal Waldron on side B. The program pairs Calvin Massey's \"Bakai\" and two Coltrane originals, \"Straight Street\" and \"Chronic Blues\", with three standards including the seldom-recorded \"Time Was\". By the summer Coltrane was playing in Thelonious Monk's quartet, and the album has since circulated under the alternate title The First Trane!.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBakai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViolets For Your Furs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime Was\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight Street\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhile My Lady Sleeps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChronic Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 888072738348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Craft Recordings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.14.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Craft Recordings","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48229913559198,"sku":"EVP-596F5251-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/CR00945JohnColtrane-ColtranePackShotobi.png?v=1791181973"},{"product_id":"the-miles-davis-quintet-cookin-with-the-miles-davis-quintet-original-jazz-classics-vinyl","title":"The Miles Davis Quintet - Cookin' With The Miles Davis Quintet (Original Jazz Classics Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Jazz Classics Series 180-Gram LP, Stoughton Tip-On Jacket and Obi Strip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Craft Recordings' Original Jazz Classics edition of Cookin' With The Miles Davis Quintet, catalog number CR00944, with a street date of August 14, 2026.

It was the second of two marathon dates, the first on May 11, at which Davis taped enough material to finish his Prestige contract after signing with Columbia, and those two days filled four albums: Cookin', Relaxin', Workin' and Steamin'. Cookin' was the first of the four to be released, in 1957.
