Description

THE RED GARLAND QUINTET "ALL MORNIN' LONG"
"ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS HAS CONTINUED TO PUSH ITS OWN ALREADY HIGH BAR HIGHER STILL. ITS QUALITY RECORD PRESSINGS PLANT IS DELIVERING THE BEST VINYL DISCS TO BE FOUND, ITS JACKETS AND COVER REPRODUCTION QUALITY HAVE HIT NEW LEVELS, AND IT CONTINUES TO HAVE THE BEST IN THE BIZ-SUCH AS KEVIN GRAY FOR THIS SERIES (25 MONO LPS FROM THE PRESTIGE LABEL'S EXCEPTIONAL LATE-50'S RUN) CUT LACQUERS FROM ORIGINAL ANALOG MASTER TAPES....THE SOUND HAS A GREAT SENSE OF 'JUMP' OR ENERGY, AND IT'S WARMLY TEXTURED YET PRECISE AND WELL DETAILED, WITH NICE BODY. COLTRANE'S SAX WAS VERY NICELY RECORDED, PLUS THIS WAS WHEN HE WAS REALLY COMING INTO HIS OWN AS A PLAYER." WAYNE GARCIA, THE ABSOLUTE SOUND, DECEMBER 2015
SOME GROUPS HAVE EXISTED ONLY IN THE RECORDING STUDIO BUT HAVE PRODUCED MUSIC OF LASTING VALUE. THIS QUINTET, UNDER PIANIST RED GARLAND'S LEADERSHIP, ACTUALLY DID PLAY SOME GIGS AROUND NEW YORK IN THE FALL 1957, BUT EVEN IF IT HADN'T, THE RAPPORT IN THE STUDIO WOULD STILL HAVE BEEN POWERFUL. BEGINNING WITH THE ASSOCIATION OF GARLAND AND SAX MASTER JOHN COLTRANE IN THE MILES DAVIS QUINTET AND CONTINUING WITH ARTHUR TAYLOR'S TRIO CONNECTION WITH GARLAND, AND TRUMPETER DONALD BYRD'S HAVING WORKED WITH ALL OF THEM IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER, THERE WAS ENOUGH OF A COMMON SPIRIT IN THE MUSICAL ATTITUDES OF ALL THE PARTICIPANTS. THE TITLE BLUES SPAN AN ENTIRE SIDE; THE OVERLEAF IS SHARED BY GERSHWIN'S "THEY CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME" AND DAMERON'S "OUR DELIGHT."
