About this album

Crossings is a poised, deeply conversational jazz album from Red Garland, Ron Carter and Philly Joe Jones. Issued in 1978, it brings together Garland’s crisp, blues-inflected piano, Carter’s supple bass and Philly Joe Jones’ crisp, propulsive drumming in a setting that rewards close listening. The trio’s rapport gives standards and originals alike a relaxed authority, with the musicians shaping familiar material through swing, space and subtle rhythmic tension. For listeners drawn to classic small-group jazz, the album stands as a fine example of three masters turning balance and understatement into lasting appeal.
