What a day this has been!
What a rare mood I'm in!
Why, it's almost like being in love

There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love

All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When the bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling
I could swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love

It’s sad because Red does not seem to be well-renowned like other jazz artists, but his playing style is just as great

I agree and I'd take Red Garland over Bud Powell any day!

This is Red at his best. I first heard this album back in 1988 and have loved it since.

What is Red Garland ? I used to be a boxer. His fist was surely big. Why is it possible to pull the pearl ball roll ? It's a pleasant touch

Red Garland is one of the greatest Jazz pianists of all time.

I had an aneurysm, then a stroke, then I died and fought off Satan with the power of Jesus and all the saints, then I went and met Abraham Lincoln in heaven, then I fell into a big hole in the afterlife, I was falling through the sky, then I woke up from my coma of 16 years and I came back to this video and started typing this reply... All, just trying to read the comment above.

Paul Chambers was one of the very best and so much better than that overrated, arrogant Jaco Pastorius.

Red Garland was one of the greatest Jazz pianists ever to have lived! He was much better than the extremely overrated Bud Powell and Bill Evans, whom couldn't phrase worth anything because they played too fast!

Bill Evans and fast don't even go hand in hand.

I've never heard Bill Evans described as playing as too fast. I'm wondering if you have any examples of that?

What is the key? Why is it weirdly Bb with the reff starting on G or is it my mistake

Andy Arleo

Yes, the key is Eb, but the tune begins on Ab (the IV chord). Where is the riff you're referring to? At 1:35, on the Ab, he's playing around with the Ab7 arpeggio, starting on the 3rd (C).

Neil Gray

Could be subbing the Ebmaj7 for Gmin7

Bryan Hails

The A section is in Eb, the B section modulates to C major. Hope that helps!
