  • Good question. Red Garland's approach to block chord voicings evolved from earlier pianists such as Milt Bruckner and George Shearing (Lullaby of Birdland). It is a more fully orchestral sound on the piano. (How Red Garland did it was to play the melody in octaves with the 5th in the middle, plus 4-note rootless voicings in the same rhythm in the right hand that stayed the same until a chord change.) His block chords have such a clean, rich sound that goes right to my soul. :o)

  • @e4Learning hahahahah Then ok, i see the point. Yes they're pretty full block chords, i'm currently studying drop two by levine and it's so useful for all harmonic instruments

  • @DajaWaja Mark Levine's The Drop 2 Book is great. Best regards.

  • Red and Oscar P - both the great masters of incorporating the blues into their styles of jazz, playing it super *hip and never cheesy

  • Red Garland - pianoforte? There's a term you don't hear in jazz much. Seriously, though, great track. Thanks for sharing it.

  • wow how peaceful

  • Wow! No one better.

  • e4Leaning: tank for your clean and very right writing : this is a rare knowing about jazz music and relations so necessary.
