The record
Chambers and Taylor never overplay their hand here, leaving Garland room to lean into blues-soaked, melodically generous phrasing. Recorded near the end of '56, it catches the trio at its most relaxed.
Session personnel

Pressings
The earliest copy we list is Prestige's 1957 US mono, catalog 7113; a 1958 PRLP 7113 repress carries a deep groove. Japan worked the title hard through the 1970s, but the reissues that matter are Original Jazz Classics OJC-061 from 1983, the Analogue Productions 45 RPM cut, AJAZ 7113, of 2006, and Craft's 2024 mono at 180 gram, CR00719. Any of the three is a sound alternative to a worn original.
