Excellent post.However, I think that "starting" with the Prestige stuff--especially the quartet dates with Red Garland, is where one must begin in order to get through the Atlantic recordings and on down the slippery slope to the late Impulse records. I don't know how anyone could appreciate or understand "Live at the Village Vanguard Again" without starting with Prestige stuff and moving forward. It would be like reading the last 40 pages of Moby Dick and thinking that's all you need to understand Melville. Right?
