A Garland of Red is the debut album by pianist Red Garland featuring tracks recorded in 1956 which were released on the Prestige label.[4]

Reception

In his review for Allmusic, Scott Yanow stated "Thirty-three at the time of this, his first recording as a leader, pianist Red Garland already had his distinctive style fully formed and had been with the Miles Davis Quintet for a year... Red Garland recorded frequently during the 1956-62 period and virtually all of his trio recordings are consistently enjoyable, this one being no exception".[2]
