Red Garland and Miles Davis had a symbiotic relationship. Red was such an important cog in the Davis quintet as a soloist, interactive accompanist and keeper of the repertoire. Being in Miles' group gave Garland the attention he would not have gotten otherwise. Once Garland's talent as a pianist with a limitless fund of material in his head was proven, Bob Weinstock of Prestige signed him to make a recording of his own. With his Davis colleague Paul Chambers on bass and New York drummer Arthur Taylor, Garland formed a trio that met frequently at Rudy Van Gelder's studio. "Groovy" was the third album in Red's trio series for Prestige, and it contains the usual fine mix of jazz standards, ballad standards, blues ballads and simple blues. It's a lesson in how to find a groove and keep it.
