One of Young's best middle-period albums—between his early soul-jazz recordings and his modal, avant-garde LPs—is Into Somethin', his first leadership work for Blue Note. If you listen carefully to Young's organ, you'll hear the Coltrane influence and how modern it sounds for 1964, when it was recorded. Prior ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Pianist Red Garland's Groovy was released by Prestige in mid-December 1957. It was an album comprised of songs left behind on three different recording sessions, but they were hardly scraps.
