"red garland came to notoriety as the pianist for miles davis' first great quintet of the 50s featuring john coltrane. some critics of the day dismissed mr. garland as a glorified lounge pianist, but this album destroys such naysaying. mr. garland could flat out swing. he may not have pushed the envelope like thelonious monk or bud powell, but he had an encyclopedic knowledge of the american songbook and could find the groove in most any tune-- check out "winter wonderland." here he takes the conceit of working through a seasonal songbook and seems to have a lot of fun doing so.you will, too, as you discover one of the great overlooked talents of the jazz piano."

"One of the great jazz pianists. Especially the late 50's early 60's recordings. All Kinds Of Weather features a soulful rendition of Summertime and swings through Winter Wonderland. The whole album is great! Highly recommended, along with his other recordings."

"Go pick up a copy of "All Kinds Of Weather" you will not be disappointed. If you like jazz piano trios, then you will not want to miss any of Red Garland's albums. Garland is joined by his usual trio at that time, Paul Chambers and Art Taylor, which I consider one of the greatest jazz trios ever assembled. This album is one of my favorites by this group. Highly recommended."
