On November 15, 1957, a quintet under the direction of pianist Red Garland gathered in the studio to record material for two LPs to be released. The first side of the production belongs to the 20-minute title track "All Mornin' Long" and with the loose numbers "They Can't Take that Away from Me" and "Our Delight".
The cast was quite top-class. Red Garland and saxophonist John Coltrane knew each other from the Miles Davis Quintet. Drummer Arthur Taylor was formerly a member of the Red Garland Trio and trumpeter Donald Byrd had played with all of them. So all that remains to be mentioned is bassist George Joyner to make the quintet complete.
The analogue mono recordings were recorded on tape by Rudy van Gelder, who was only legendary in later years.
Some groups have existed only in the recording studio but have produced music of lasting value. This quintet, under pianist Red Garland's leadership, actually did play some gigs around New York in the fall of 1957, but even if it hadn't, the rapport in the studio would still have been powerful. Beginning with the association of Garland and sax master John Coltrane in the Miles Davis Quintet and continuing with Arthur Taylor's trio connection with Garland, and trumpeter Donald Byrd's having worked with all of them in one form or another, there was enough of a common spirit in the musical attitudes of all the participants. The title blues spans an entire side; the overleaf is shared by Gershwin's "They Can't Take That Away from Me" and Dameron's "Our Delight."
