The quintet spices things up with the closer, a dual piece that drastically changes dynamics and mood halfway through the song. The piece is perhaps the most interesting on the album, a notable track in its own right.

Even with the slight slip-up, Cookin’ is an incredibly solid hard bop outing, featuring memorable passages that do justice to the Miles Davis name.
