Red Garland, an excellent and sometimes overlooked pianist in his own right, also led a dynamite group that recorded for Prestige in the late 1950s. That group included Donald Byrd and John Coltrane, and Garland's entry in the PRESTIGE PROFILES series contains several tracks of that group cooking up furious hard-bop (with Coltrane's playing leading the way). A 1961 date with trumpeter Richard Williams and tenor sax man Oliver Nelson is also noteworthy. Though the disc only contains six tracks, there is plenty of stretching out from these legends. The second volume in the Prestige Profiles series features Red Garland's quintets with John Coltrane. Essentially this series is compiled of album cuts from the catalogue recorded in 1957, when Trane was moving into his own. The rest of the band included drummer Art Taylor, trumpeter Donald Byrd, and bassist Jamil Nasser (at that time known as George Joyner). There are two exceptions in these six tracks, "Soft Winds" and "On Green Dolphin Street," taken from a 1961 date with Oliver Nelson on tenor, Richard Williams on trumpet, Charlie Persip on drums, and Peck Morrison on bass, previously released on the Rediscovered Masters Series, Vol. 2. The cuts with Coltrane, including "Billie's Bounce," "Solitude," "Soul Junction," and "Our Delight," are straight ahead hard bop and ballads with Coltrane almost stealing the show via his knotty solos and confident blowing. There is also a stand alone bonus disc that includes a preview sampler from the rest of the volumes that includes Coleman Hawkins, Billy Taylor, Miles Davis Tommy Flanagan (with Kenny Burrell and Coltrane), Thelonious Monk, Mose Allison and Ray Bryant. It's a strange collection of cuts, but it's a cool little freebie. ~ Thom Jurek Producer: Bob Weinstock; Esmond Edwards Engineer: Rudy Van Gelder Musical Guests John Coltrane   Compilation Appearances Jazz Giants Play George Gershw Play Duke Ellington-Caravans More of the Most Relaxing Jazz Music in the Universe Most Relaxing Jazz Standards In The Universe Harold Arlen Centennial Celebration Most Relaxing Jazz Piano Music In The Universe Prestige Profiles At The Prelude 1956 Trio With Paul Chambers Art Ta Ultimate Most Relaxing Jazz Music in Universe Whatever Works (Ost)   Associated Artists and Works Cobb, Arnett Dig It! ~ Coltrane, John Coltrane, John Dig It! ~ Coltrane, John Davis, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Eddie "Lockjaw" (Tenor) Curtis Fuller With Red Garland ~ Fuller, Curtis Hawkins, Coleman Hawkins, Coleman Mobley, Hank Tenor Conclave ~ Mobley, Hank Mobley, Hank Sugan ~ Woods, Phil Woods, Phil Woods, Phil   Technical Info Release Date : 10/25/2005 Original Release Date : 2005 Catalog ID : 185 802 Label : Fantasy (distributor) Number of Discs : 2 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00025218580229    Related Videos Randy Jackson: Randy Jack...
