The record

Coltrane on tenor, Red Garland at the piano, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones underneath -- the quintet Miles brought to Prestige, with Rudy Van Gelder engineering. Mostly standards: "Just Squeeze Me," "There Is No Greater Love," "S'Posin." "Stablemates" is the one that gives the horns something to argue with. Gil Mellé did the cover, Ira Gitler wrote the notes. LP 7014, 1956.
