Requisites

A Garland of Red was Red Garland’s debut release on Prestige, being signed to an exclusive recording contract after his performance in the Miles Davis Quintet brought awareness to his talent. The Dallas-born Philadelphian brought Davis alums to form the recording trio that brings a handful of standards, a blues and some rhythm. As a leader it is Garland’s beginning and an auspicious one at that.
