here's one of the miles:

i thought we could have a little game running a thread about all the "'in" albums. you know, miles had a few like workin', relaxin', steamin' & cookin'. i keep finding plenty more but i'll let you string 'em. i'll start with:

i seem to be accumulating a number of unfileable cd's, meaning those by an ensemble where it would be unfair to pick one as "leader" for filing purposes. i stick these in the back of the rack so i don't lose them! jazz at massey hall comes to mind as a prime example. another one, which is excellent, is by a group called "the five" - here's yanow's review: Review by Scott Yanow This excellent album (a reissue LP of music deserving to be reissued on CD) is really led by Shorty Rogers, who provided the dozen arrangements and five originals, although he does not play trumpet on the date. Featuring a quintet of fine West Coast players (including pianist Pete Jolly at the beginning of his career), Rogers' charts really set the mood for the set of cool jazz. Trumpeter Conte Candoli and tenor saxophonist Bill Perkins (heard at his coolest, tone-wise) take plenty of fine solos, while bassist Buddy Clark and drummer Mel Lewis are lightly swinging in support. This is a near-classic that has somehow remained obscure through the years, perhaps due to the group's name. yanow and i agree on this one! what are some of your favorite "unfileables"?
