Tracks list

Unlike his slightly earlier recordings for Moodsville (which feature Red Garland
on unaccompanied piano solos), this strictly ballad date has Garland joined (on
all but the solo Lush Life) by bassist Larry Ridley and drummer Frank Gant.
Since all eight of the standards are taken at the same medium/slow tempo, there
is not much variety here, keeping the CD from being essential. But Garlands
attractive and distinctive chord voicings, plus his ability to uplift melodies
while swinging at a slow speed, make this project a success. Highlights include
The Nearness of You, Where or When, and Irving Berlins All Alone. Particularly
effective when used as background music.
