Having a clean copy of any of the Garland/Trane 4tet lps would be ideal-in the meantime,”Settin’ The Pace” on XRCD2(Jvc/Japan)sounds pretty damn good(If There Is Someone Lovelier Than You,Little Melonae).

Rudolf – right on re: Red’s quintet albums. All superb. But speaking of Trane-as-leader, let’s not forget Lush Life! What a record.

Coincidentally, rockies, just picked up a very fine copy of The Cats the other day, and have been wearing it out. What a treat. Flanagan in sparkling form.

Rudolf and Gregory,

you are both right.

I have all the 4 RG’s and a mint copy of the ED.

On top, I also have a M- copy of the Soultrane.

Sugar for the ears !!!!!

That Eric Dolphy album is beautiful. Jealousy, thy name is Gregory.

the four Red Garland studio quintet albums, feat. Trane, are vastly underestimated by collectors. Despite the presence of Byrd, they show Red and Trane in better form than on any of the Prestige sessions headed by Trane himself, with the exception, maybe, of Soultrane.
