A Classic, but as many pre-quintet Prestige recordings it´s strange you have one tune (2 takes) from the legendary session with Bags and Monk, and the great 1954 tracks with Sonny Rollins. It´s remarkable that the Rollins tunes became jazz classics, Doxy, Airegin, Oleo: All the kids at music schools learn that and all guys play it on jam sessions.

The next will be Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants. More stuff from the session with Monk, and really strange one Round Midnight from 2 years later done by the classic first quintet, which would have suited more to the four 1956 albums.

Strange, it seems that this autumn I´m a bit on a "Prestige-Groove". Maybe for historical reasons, since during my youth when a lot of classic albums went OOP, the legendary two LP Prestige sets were easy to purchase and not expensive. It was only later that I re-bought them for the original covers.......

I always had a different perspective on these sessions as all I had as a youngster were these two 10" albums:

Yes, I would even go to say that ‘Troppo’ is one of the finest jazz recordings to come out of the UK and certainly one of Garrick’s very best. Love the way he throws in a bit of harpsichord at various points. Sank without trace at time of its release (1974 I think).

Learned over the years to  appreciated his Hi Records output (which for a long time was overshadowed by O.V Wright and Al Green) ....
