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 ....

Yes, when I  started reading about  jazz in the late '50s Ahmad Jamal was definitely dismissed as a "cocktail pianist" and people were perplexed that Miles liked him so much.

By "people", you mean critics, right?

I'll have a double of those Ahmad Jamal and Red Garland cocktails.
