RECORD OF THE WEEK

John Coltrane With The Red Garland Trio & Quintet

AVID Jazz continues with its Four Classic Albums series with a finely re-mastered 2CD release from John Coltrane with The Red Garland Trio & Quintet.

For this set, our fourth featuring John Coltrane and second featuring The Red Garland Trio & Quintet they have selected four more albums that bring together, arguably the greatest ever tenor sax player and one of perhaps the greatest unsung giants of jazz piano. Given the massive drawing power of the name John Coltrane they have cheated a little by placing his name first on this release as we genuinely feel it will lead more jazz fans to discover the genius of Red Garland who was actually the leader on three of the releases.
