Erroll Garner Trio - They Can't Take That Away from Me mp3 download

I bet Elf could swing in his sleep.

Wow. Wherever Gershwin was when Erroll recorded this he must have been soaring with pleasure. Thanks for posting.

Little Debussy in there is like the frosting on the cake~ Que bella!

Erroll Garner one of my favorite pianoplayers.

Concert By The Sea, recorded in Carmel, California on 19th September 1955. Still the all-time top selling jazz piano album. First jazz album I ever owned, a cassette version purchased in London in the early 1980s. More recently was able to buy the new release triple CD which contains all the other tracks from the concert, the ones which did not make it on to the original album. Wonderfully remastered given that the original tapes were damaged by the salty sea air! Thank heavens those tapes survived.

They got it right: flying above the clouds..

Erroll Garner outstanding qualities along with his completely individual style structure is his unpredictable spontaneous feeling, his improvisational forte.Erroll Garner made his solo concert debut at the Cleveland Music Hall in 1950 , winning critical and audience accolades. Garner developed a signature style that involved his right hand playing behind the beat while his left hand strummed a steady rhythm and punctuation, thus creating insouciance and tension in the music.The independence of his hands also was evidence by his masterful use of three-against-four fingers and more complicated cross rhythms between the hands. Garner also would improvise whimsical introductions to audiences that left listeners in suspense as to what tune he would play. HE MAY BE GONE, RIP BUT HIS MUSIC WILL LIVE ON .

Garner at his best! Heavy left and all.

I wonder if Errol was sitting on a Manhattan phone book in Carmel like he did in his new york concerts?

No one can take this music from us

What genius! So glad I was able to see him live in NYC in 1970. He continues to be my favorite of all time.
