Hackensack, New Jersey, April 11 (1-5) & June 27 (6-10), 1958.

By the time Manteca was recorded, Red Garland (1923-1984) had already recorded four trio albums as a leader with Paul Chambers on bass and Art Taylor on drums: the 1956 debut A Garland of Red, Red Garland's Piano (1957), Groovy (also from 1957), and the 1958 sessions that would later be issued as It's a Blue World.
Garland became famous in 1955 when he joined the Miles Davis Quintet that also featured John Coltrane, Philly Joe Jones and Paul Chambers. At the time of the June 1958 date Garland and Chambers were still with Miles Davis. Manteca was the first recorded collaboration ever made of Garland with conga-player Ray Barretto (1929-2006). �We were after some Spanish things. The mambo was popular back then, and we were trying to put out some things that would reach the Latin American audience�, stated Garland.
