Kudos to Todd Barkin, who ran the the Keystone Korner in North Beach from 1972 until 1983 and Ze'ev Feldman.
They produced and recently released the Elemental Label 2- CD album featuring performances of Red Garland accompanied by bass virtuoso Leroy Vinegar and legendary drummer "Philly" Joe Jones (Red played with the latter in the 1950's with the Miles Davis Quintet).
Not only have these 16 pieces never been released before, but this is the first and last time the trio played together. The group played the Korner from December 6-10, 1977.
Love for Sale (Cole Porter), On Green Dolphin Street (B. Kaper-N.Washington) , Straight No Chaser (Thelonius Monk), Bag's Groove (Milt Jackson) and Autumn Leaves (Prevert-Mercer-Kosman) are among the classics featured on the album.
The accompanying liner notes booklet features photographs and accolades to Red by Nat Hentoff, Ze'ev Feldman, Benny Green, interviews with record producer, photographer and label executive Don Schlitten, Kenny Washington and Ira Gittler.
