I recently started reading The JC Reference, and learned Coltrane and Garland were playing together as early as 1948 (in Cleanhead Vinson’s band).

And there is more to being in a band than just playing the music. The "cultural mission" of Trane's music was not about Steve Kuhn and it was nothing against Steve Kuhn, man or musician. McCoy, otoh...

Red had a working trio up until, iirc, 1963 or so, after which he moved to Dallas to take care of his mother (again, iirc.). Out of sight, out of mind, no record dates, no live gigs.

Not home to check my discographies, so don’t have the dates when Red recorded a number of things for Galaxy. He also did a couple of sessions for MPS.

The last "NYC" session was done in 1962, the MPS dates were in 1971 oand from my experience, only The Quota had a stateside presence.

The "comeback" didn't really get underway until 1977.

So, that's a long time off the national scene. He was still playing locally though, all during that time.
