Search - Red Garland :: Misty Red

A rare Japanese-only session from Red Garland -- recorded in the early 80s with support from Ahmad Jamal's old trio-mates -- Jamil Nassar on bass and Frank Gant on drums! The Garland heard here is a gentler one than on his earlier recordings -- playing with a nice Jamal-like sense of spacious exploration and mellow grooving. Tunes are mostly standards, but they're handled here in a manner that makes them feel much more like personal statements of expression than familiar chestnuts -- and titles include "This Can't Be Love", "Misty", "But Not For Me", "Over The Rainbow", and "If I Were A Bell".
