Whenever I entered Red Octopus Records @ Wien (several times a week during the eighties) I found items I wasn't looking for .... beneath others 😇🤓 .... and I had for the most part not enough money with me, so my debt list kept getting longer ....
These are not bechmark recordings overall .... the true merit is having an excellent pianist covering Schumann`s complete euvre for piano .... btw his view on "Kreisleriana" ist top notch ....
Regarding Red Garland the "cocktail pianist : wouldn't this perception also apply to Ahmad Jamal (at least until his Impulse recordings) .... btw I love Ahmad Jamal and Red Garland is on these Miles Davis Quintet Prestige recordings just perfect ....
