Comfortable and familiar with one another in the Miles Davis Quintet, Red Garland and John Coltrane enjoyed making records together. Consequently, in addition to their extensive work on the Davis recordings on Prestige, there is an extensive discography of two men in informal sessions for the label. In this case, Garland was the leader and Coltrane a sideman, with his frequent companion trumpeter Donald Byrd sharing the front line. Coltrane's virtuosity and his daring had expanded astonishingly during the year prior to the recording of "Billie's Bounce" and "Lazy Mae," and these blues, one fast, one slow, give a rounded picture of his development in 1957.

Red Garland mixed together the usual influences of his generation (Nat Cole, Bud Powell, and Ahmad Jamal) into his own distinctive approach; Garland's block chords themselves became influential on the players of the 1960s. He started out playing clarinet and alto, switching to piano when he was 18. During 1946-1955, he worked steadily in New York and Philadelphia, backing such major players as Charlie Parker, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, and Roy Eldridge, but still remaining fairly obscure. That changed when he became a member of the classic Miles Davis Quintet (1955-1958), heading a rhythm section that also included Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. After leaving Miles, Garland had his own popular trio and recorded very frequently for Prestige, Jazzland, and Moodsville during 1956-1962 (the majority of which are available in the Original Jazz Classics series). The pianist eventually returned to Texas and was in semi-retirement, but came back gradually in the 1970s, recording for MPS (1971) and Galaxy (1977-1979) before retiring again.
