1961 studio album by Freddie Redd
Shades of Redd is an album by American pianist Freddie Redd recorded in 1960 and released on the Blue Note label.[2]
Reception
The
Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos stated: "In an all too small discography, Freddie Redd's
Shades of Redd is without a doubt his crowning achievement... his zenith as a jazz musician, would be a wonderful addition to any collection, and shows that the lesser known musicians have plenty of music to play, in addition to a unique perspective aside from the giants of this music".
