Das schaut IMO ziemlich verlockend aus (release date Ende Jänner 2015) :
Miles Davis’s first stable working band, a quintet that he formed in 1955, featured John Coltrane on tenor sax, the drummer Philly Joe Jones, and the pianist Red Garland, whose distinctive style, with bouncy chords chimed out by his interlocked hands, lent the earnest and even brooding band a sideline of warmhearted relief. Garland’s own recordings had the same bright-toned flair (as in this live 1959 recording). Garland was scarce on the scene for a decade or more, but returned in the mid-seventies, when I saw him perform, at a strange ballroom-like club on Long Island. A new release, coming January 20th, “Swingin’ on the Korner” (Elemental Music), features Garland and his trio from December, 1977, at San Francisco’s legendary Keystone Korner, home to some of the finest of all live recordings (such as Rahsaan Roland Kirk’s “Bright Moments,” a set by Mary Lou Williams, and four volumes of Woody Shaw from the late seventies). Garland is in astonishing mettle here; the space and the mood are more congenial than was the formal cavern where I saw him. What’s more, he’s accompanied by Philly Joe Jones and the bassist Leroy Vinnegar, and their chemistry is passionate. Jones, whose own career had been intermittent for almost a decade, matches Garland in inspiration and enthusiasm; the trio condenses a lifetime of wise love into a few evenings’ exuberant exertions. The performance’s modern inflections are imbued with the spirit of dance; it’s a set of inventive exuberance and jaunty joy.
