Moodsville Volume 1 (Moodsville Acoustic Sounds Series)

The Red Garland Trio and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, also known as Moodsville Volume 1, pairs the easy authority of Red Garland with the big, bluesy tenor of Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. Recorded in 1959 and released in 1960 on Prestige’s Moodsville subsidiary, it’s a beautifully relaxed session with plenty of late-night feel.

Alongside Garland on piano and Davis on tenor saxophone, the group features Sam Jones on bass and Taylor on drums. A strong meeting of players, this one sits right in that sweet spot between swing, warmth and deep groove.
