What he heard that night convinced him to sign Davis to Columbia. The problem was that Davis was still under contract to Prestige. The solution was to record for Columbia while simultaneously fulfilling the Prestige obligation with the marathon sessions that eventually produced \u003cem\u003eRelaxin'\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWorkin'\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSteamin'\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCookin'\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first Columbia session took place in October 1955 at Studio D. Only \"Ah-Leu-Cha,\" Charlie Parker's contrapuntal blues, survived from that date. The quintet returned in June 1956 to Columbia's 30th Street Studio for \"Bye Bye Blackbird,\" \"Tadd's Delight\" and \"Dear Old Stockholm.\" The final session in September 1956 produced the title track and Cole Porter's \"All of You.\" Frank Laico engineered all three dates, and the sound is markedly different from the Rudy Van Gelder Prestige sessions: warmer, more spacious, the instruments given room that the Hackensack studio did not allow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColtrane's playing across these sessions is still developing. He had not yet arrived at the extended modal approach of 1960 and 1961. His solo on \"Bye Bye Blackbird\" became one of the most studied in his early catalogue. Davis plays with the muted tone and measured phrasing that defined his 1950s work. The album was released in March 1957.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the 1983 Japanese CBS\/Sony mono reissue (23AP 2552), Miles Greatest Collection 25 No. 2, manufactured by CBS\/Sony Inc.
