Source-derived summary

The Red Garland Trio (also referred to as Moodsville Volume 6) is an album by pianist Red Garland recorded in 1958 and released on the Moodsville label in 1960.

Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 2 stars stating "Its slow tempos fit well into the theme of that subsidiary's releases but it resulted in the set being a bit sleepy... the lack of variety makes this reissue one of Red Garland's lesser efforts.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “album by Red Garland” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q15623595. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1958 and 1960.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
