Miles Davis took John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones into the studio and recorded enough material for four albums.  There's "Cookin'", "Relaxin'", "Steamin'" and "Workin'".  "Cookin'" is the best because it starts with a classic performance -- Miles' "My Funny Valentine", and doesn't let up.  "Blues By Five", "Airegin", and "Tune Up/When Lights Are Low" are all very good.  The songs are simply melody-solo-melody, but the soloing is of a consistantly high level.
