Red Garland
Piano Solo on
When Your Lover Has Gone

About

Red Garland's piano solo is the second of 4 solos on this recording, following Sonny Rollins's tenor sax and followed by Paul Chambers on acoustic bass. Spanning one chorus of the 32-bar ABAC form at a moderate 108 BPM with a swing feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 1:11. Red Garland follows with a piano chorus that blends his characteristic elegance with the bluesy inflections that made him one of the most recognizable pianists in hard bop. Red Garland was 32 to 33 years old at the time of this 1956 recording.
