Red Lanta is an album by American jazz pianist Art Lande featuring Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek recorded in 1973 and released on the ECM label.^[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick awarded the album 2½ stars stating "One of the earliest recordings to embody what would come to be known as the ECM sound, Red Lanta is a series of piano/reed duets that have a Scandinavian starkness offset, somewhat unfortunately, by a soft sentimentality that verges on kitsch... this general approach proved extremely popular in the ensuing years, and devotees of ECM's later years will want to hear one of its points of germination".^[2]
