1977 Japanese re-issue on Prestige's "Jazz Masterpiece Series" series of the 1958 album featuring Red Garland. With insert and obi.

condition (record/cover): NM / NM

 Insert and obi included.

1958, the great Prestige quartet with Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Art Taylor - the working rhythm section that carried so many of these marathon-era sessions with such elegance. The version of "Russian Lullaby" alone justifies the whole record: taken at a genuinely terrifying tempo, with John Coltrane pouring out sixteenth notes like the reed owes him money, it remains one of the definitive documents of the sheets-of-sound period. But the ballads matter just as much - "Theme for Ernie" shows the tenderness that was always half the story. Trane in full command of his first mature style. Japanese mono pressing, the connoisseur's format for fifties Prestige.
