The emphasis is on the blues (although not exclusively) on
Blues in the Night. The original eight-song program was played by the trio of pianist
Red Garland, bassist
Sam Jones, and drummer
Art Taylor, from an earlier date. Most unusual about the set is that
Garland makes a rare (and effective) appearance on organ during "Halleloo-Y'All." Otherwise, this is a conventional but enjoyable set of bluesy bop, highlighted by "Revelation Blues," "Everytime I Feel the Spirit," and "Rocks in My Bed." ~ Scott Yanow
