You must mean AFTER 1962, because he was recording for Jazzland in '61 - '62.

After that, there's nothing until about 1975.

Why?

I don't know.

Actually , he led two dates for MPS in 1971 (one a trio , one a quartet) that as your post evidences , are overlooked . Both are worthwhile .

At one point - not sure when - Red took time off to return to Dallas to look after his sick mother. I think it was in the late 60s.

The liner notes (by Mark Gardner) to 'The Quota' album on MPS - they are in german and my knowledge of the language is limited - indicate Red Garland was in Philadelphia in the early '60s and returned to Dallas where his mother died in 1965. He made appearances in 1966 in LA at 'The Memory Lane' and the 'It Club' then was back in Dallas where he played at the 'Club Arandas'.

He returned to New York in the spring of 1971 and was contacted by producer Don Schlitten to record the two albums that came out on MPS 'The Quota' and 'Auf Wiedersehen'.

Red lived in Dallas for about a decade. He played locally with semi-regularity but considered himself "semi-retired".
