Listened to this again while doing stretching and weights this morning.
Wonderful live recording.
Brilliant interplay and improvisation.

I wonder if Red ever got the recognition he deserved. I hardly see young piano players mention him.
I love those albums and this one;

I rather like the Grant Green version on the Matador LP

My copy of that Red Garland on the Bergenfield NY labels has track timings and tempos marked on the back. I think someone must have used it for a dance class !
‘Night of the Cookers’ gets a lot of stick in many parts but I think it’s great !

Nice to see GG playing a Gibson ES330, which I assume is the same one as shown on the cover of First Stand.

I know your preference is for Digital Audio but I think that version of the Matador sleeve is only on the Music Matters LP which is excellent.
The regular sleeve, please correct me if I’m wrong is this one

I’m afraid I don’t know as I don’t have that one. I was just commenting on the sleeve image as it’s not common to see pro guitar players playing an ES330.
BTW I do play records now and again, maybe one a fortnight or so - got to justify the investment!
Cheers Clive, why would that be? I dont know much about guitars
It was launched as a low cost student guitar. That said, one of my favourite jazz guitarists, Emily Remler, played an ES330 for much of her career until she was sponsored to play a Borys.

Well I guess a good musician ought to be able to make even a budget instrument sound good. No good having a top of the range guitar if you play with ten thumbs.
