A Garland of Red is the debut album by pianist Red Garland, recorded in 1956 and released on the Prestige label.^[5]

Reception[]

In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated: "Thirty-three at the time of this, his first recording as a leader, pianist Red Garland already had his distinctive style fully formed and had been with the Miles Davis Quintet for a year... Red Garland recorded frequently during the 1956-62 period and virtually all of his trio recordings are consistently enjoyable, this one being no exception."^[2]
