Dvorak Violin Concerto & Elgar Violin Sonata

Piano Trio Op.101/2 and String Quintet Op.92/1

While I usually enjoy Red Garlands playing, referring to him as a "cocktail pianist" is something I can understand. There were many jazz pianists who, in my opinion, were far more interesting soloists than Garland in the 50's. Horace Silver, Barry Harris, Sonny Clark, Hampton Hawes, Tommy Flanagan, Ray Bryant, Kenny Drew and Hank Jones would be fine examples.
