The record
A sprawling '59 date pulled from the Prestige vaults, with Garland's trio blues fluency stretched across a shifting cast of bassists and drummers plus rare horn color from Oliver Nelson and Richard Williams. Barretto's congas add a loose, after-hours warmth to the leader's usual crisp swing.
