When Coleman Hawkins made this record in 1959, he had been a professional musician for 38 years. For 34 of those years, dating from his blossoming as a soloist in the Fletcher Henderson band, he was one of the three or four most profoundly influential jazz artists. As music changed, Hawkins was always ahead of the curve. He had long since absorbed, indeed had influenced and encouraged bebop, so Hawk was right at home with Red Garland's trio. Long before he joined Miles Davis in 1955, Garland was regularly employed by Hawkins, and this date constituted a happy reunion. Abetted by Garland, the veteran drummer Specs Wright and the swinging young Detroit bassist Doug Watkins, Hawkins did some of the best tenor playing of his final decade.

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.
