Translucent Icy Light Blue Vinyl!
Jazz guitar autodidact and 1956 Downbeat Critics Poll winner Dick Garcia struts his stuff while the likes of Bill Evans, Gene Quill, and John Drew try to keep up! The combination of Bird, Christian and his own personality meld here in Dicks own swinging style, delivering repertoire so diverse it required three different backing bands! Message From Garcia presents Dick in various contexts so as to give the listener an idea of his scope - the material is diversified in order to give Garcia and the other instrumentalists a chance to speak of varied moods. The first group is a quartet typified by a quietly pulsating, yet exploratory quality on "Have You Met Miss Jones," "I Dont Want To Set The World On Fire," and "Potatoes." The second unit finds its identification in the ensemble sound of the guitar and piano on "Evry Night About This Time," "Like Someone In Love," and "Kimona My House." The last group tends toward a more basic jazz quartet persuasion on "The Deacon," "Stompin At The Savoy," "If Im Lucky" and "It Could Happen To You."
