As a sideman in the Miles Davis Quintet during the 1950s, pianist William McKinley "Red" Garland Jr. formed his own trio at the end of the decade.
Released in 1957, 'Groovy', his third album as a bandleader recorded for Prestige Records, unleashes formidable hard bop energy on a selection of standards, ballads, and blues sequences, alongside Paul Chambers (double bass) and Art Taylor on drums.
This reissue is part of the "Original Jazz Classics" collection: audiophile-quality 180-gram vinyl with obi strip, mastered from the original analog tapes, with original artwork and liner notes.
