During 1961-1962, following a long series of recordings for Prestige, pianist
Red Garland recorded four LPs for the Jazzland label. His style was unchanged from a few years earlier, and this trio set with bassist
Sam Jones and drummer
Charlie Persip (reissued on CD on the Original Jazz Classics label) is very much up to par. Highlights include
Garland's interpretations of "I Ain't Got Nobody," "Blues in the Closet," and "Lil' Darlin'." An enjoyable straight-ahead session.
