Hello record fans, this week we have a real treat, Red Garland at the Prelude, on Prestige Records (7170) Runout-RVG PRLP 7170, 1959. This is a legendary lp. The significance of this recording is the fact that Red Garland was pianist in Miles Davis' first great quintet (consisting of Davis, Garland, John Coltrane, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones) from 1955 to 1958, the last recording being made with Davis at the Spotlight Lounge in Washington DC, November 1, 1958, during the transition period between the classic quintet and Miles' famous sextet of Milestones (Columbia CL 1193, 1958) and Kind of Blue (Columbia CL 1355, 1959). Garland left Davis' band in late 1958. Also of considerable importance is the fact that this was Prestige Records' first remote live recording. Red Garland was a gracious accompanist in the Davis band and that translated to his allowance of copious solo space to his rhythm section. There may be an argument that The Red Garland Trio at the Prelude is the last of the great Garland Trio recordings. The pianist performed and recorded sporadically until his death at 61 years old in 1984. But it is these Prelude sides that illustrate Red Garland at top form in his craft.

Ellington's "Satin Doll" starts out the record, ringing with Garland's block chording, arpeggios and octaves. But don't relax just yet, the fun is just getting started, next is, "Predido" followed by the great upbeat, "There Will Never Be Another You" and side one ends with, "Bye Bye Blackbird" displaying his considerable yet understated bebop chops. Side two gives way with, "Let Me see" followed by "Prelude Blues" and Just Squeeze Me" and ending with the great, "One O'Clock Jump".

Personnel: Red Garland Trio: Red Garland: piano; Jimmy Rowser: double bass; Charles "Specs" Wright: drums. 

The condition of the cover is near mint, with just the faint beginnings of foxing at the lower right corner, the laminated covering still intact with no blistering or peeling. The vinyl is very near mint as well, clean, crisp and glossy, and man is this vinyl heavy, almost as much as an old 78rpm, really thick, it's amazing to have lasted this long in such good condition!!!!
