Soul Junction Limited Reissue Vinyl LP

The Red Garland Quintet Soul Junction Limited Reissue Vinyl LP

VERY SMALL KNOCK TO CORNER

Overview:
Forming batch #5 of the Prestige 65th Vinyl reissue campaign, with a veritable All-Star lineup in tow, pianist Red Garland turns in a relaxed session that highlights his deft, tasteful touch. Recorded on November 15, 1957 at the legendary Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, NJ, Soul Junction features tenor saxophonist John Coltrane in fine form joined by trumpeter Donald Byrd, bassist George Joyner and drummer Art Taylor. Highlights include Garland’s 15-minute blues workout on the title cut and Coltrane’s masterful “sheets of sound” soloing on the bouncy, breezy “Woody’n You.”
