When There Are Grey Skies


When There Are Grey Skies is an album by the jazz pianist Red Garland, recorded in 1962 and released the following year on the Prestige label.

Reception

Jazz critic Harvey Pekar, writing for DownBeat magazine, had this to say about Garland: "Garland is one of the most important figures in recent jazz piano history. His method of block-chording has influenced many other pianists. Also important is the way he establishes a groove with his left hand..." Scott Yanow noted the album's "unlikely material."
