Miles Davis' Workin' stands as one of the legendary quartet of albums recorded during marathon 1956 sessions with his acclaimed quintet, released in 1959 on Prestige Records. Part of the famous "gerund series" alongside Cookin', Relaxin', and Steamin', this collection captures the group performing well-rehearsed jazz standards from their live repertoire with no retakes, showcasing the raw spontaneity of small group jazz improvisation.

The album opens with the captivating "It Never Entered My Mind," which exemplifies the beautiful contrast between Davis's evocative trumpet and the lighter piano accompaniment that defines much of the record. While the dynamics may vary throughout, Workin' delivers consistently solid jazz that represents a high-water mark for improvised ensemble playing, making it an essential piece for collectors seeking to experience one of the most productive and celebrated recording sessions in jazz history.
