Jazz+ Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 "Born in 1921 he was a self-taught pianist who never learned to read music, Erroll Garner was nevertheless one of the most popular jazz musicians of the 1950s. His swinging piano and gift for melody kept him on the top of the charts, and his most memorable tune, "Misty" was a pop hit for many different artists between 1959 and 1975 Erroll, just turned 41, is seen and heard here in a performance in Amsterdam in 1962. Together with drummer Kelly Martin and bassist Eddy Cowly they bring you Where or When. You'll notice how Erroll focusses a lot on his audience, obviously he enjoys himself and appears very inspired."

daBowsa Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I wasn't able to load the first two, but I really enjoyed the last three! Some big chords and big LH jumps while focusing on the audience. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Loving Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Thanks, J+. I love the way EG plays. Isn't his rh-lh independence something to hear - and see? "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daBowsa Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 And the way he pounds single notes with three fingers - even on walking basslines sometimes! Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
