Red Garland - The Quota (1971)

From the now out of print Japanese CD reissue.

Dusty Groove review:
A surprisingly wonderful 70s session from pianist Red Garland – thanks to the presence of saxophonist Jimmy Heath on the set! Although Red's most commonly heard in a trio setting, the presence of Heath here really makes the session stand out – as Jimmy's playing with all the best sense of warmth and soulfulness he brought to his own wonderful work of the early 70s – helping Red's rare session for MPS sparkle nicely with his added touches! Heath plays both tenor and soprano sax on the record, and other players include Peck Morrison on bass and Lenny McBrowne on drums.

  8. This was Red Garland's first album in nine years, after he had recorded a whopping 32 albums in 1956-62!

  11. As a old Rapidshare premium user, I got shocked hearing the news. Are they gone crazy or what?
    I've been getting that “file owner's traffic exausted” bullshit all day when trying to download files from other sites as well. Let's just hope that the millions of complaints they will receive (I will, er, file one myself soon) will make them change their minds, unless they already decided to go out of business, just like Fileserve, Wupload, well the list is too long to mention...
    In the meantime, I've heard good things about the “ShareBeast” file host, maybe it's worth trying...
    Anyway, thanks for the wonderful music you have posted so far,
    Arvin

  15. Thanks a lot grumpy! Big listening! Underappreciated last recordings of Red Garland are worth more than a simple listening. And MPS label did a great service to the jazz world by these releases.
