LABEL: ORIGINAL JAZZ CLASSICS

GENRE: JAZZ

You can't get too much of the great trio of pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Art Taylor, whose magnificent work is showcased on such other memorable Garland-led OJC reissues as Groovy, A Garland of Red, and All Kinds of Weather. Here the wondrous threesome--who collectively played with giants Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, and Wes Montgomery--visits five timeless standards in their inimitable, graceful, yet always swinging fashion. The easy-paced "This Can't Be Love" is a typical highlight. It sports a stunning, extended bowed solo by Chambers as well as Garland's prancing single-note lines and lilting block chords. Other winners are the blues-drenched title track and "Since I Fell for You," and the perky "Crazy Rhythm." Throughout, Taylor supports with panache.

with Red Garland, Paul Chambers, Arthur Taylor
