The Red Garland Quintet - All Mornin' Long

Another great Prestige recording (and van Gelder, of course).

Garland leads John Coltrane (sax), Donald Byrd (trumpet), George Joyner (bass), and Art Taylor (drums) through a few extended tracks, on the slightly bluesier side of hard bop.

The Red Garland Quintet - All Mornin' Long LP cover. A black and white picture of what looks to be the Hudson river in NYC, fog settling in, bridges over. Title at the top in Red, participants in smaller type below in black. The black LP plays on a vintage Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000 linear-tracking turntable to the right. The dustcover is open, and the album, tonearm and surround are reflected in its underside.

Gotta say that #RedGarland on It Never Entered My Mind is sublime. That opening track is also a decent test of the SQ. The piano, often a giveaway on poorly recorded/mastered tracks sounds very natural & lifelike. Not spookily so, but balanced with a proper sense of wood, hammers hitting strings, & natural resonance.

There‘s a touch of distortion here and there, but without a comparison, I’m gonna guess that’s to do with mic placement & RVG recording hot. Happy to be corrected on that though!

Rare day off work & #NowPlaying #Cookin’ with the #MilesDavis Quintet.

I love these #Prestige recordings & the line up here is unbelievable: #JohnColtrane, #RedGarland, #PhillyJoeJones, & #PaulChambers.

This is from #OJC, likely cut from digital, but it really does sound good, particularly for the money. Despite the light weight card, the reproduction of that iconic sleeve is on point.

#Workin’ (OJC) arrives tomorrow to complete the series.

Photo of a record album cover. The cover is white with an ink sketch of the valves of a trumpet, fingers pressing the keys. The typeface across the top of the sleeve reads, Cookin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet/Prestige 7094.
Photo of a record spinning on the skeletal platter of a Rega P8 turntable. The centre label is yellow with just the words, Miles Davis, legible above the spindle. The tone arm and red cartridge are tracking the opening track.
