Erroll Garner - Over the Rainbow

[@evelynscales8585]

GENIUS...ONLY ONE! ERROL GARNER IN CLASS ALL BY HIMSELF!!!!!

[@hermanheyn3683]

Thanks to my son who discovered him at age 17 and mentioned him on facebk., I've just discovered Earl at age 84!

[@tjprosper7704]

Damn pops you had a son at 60. Blessings to you and your son with great taste in music 🙌

[@starcraft11100]

He was the best of the jazz impromptu piano players...he played it differently every time he did it..self taught..a true God given talent that the world may never witness again!

[@leventekalmantorok5518]

He is the Mozart of Jazz.

[@bigchef290]

Moved to tears, Damn great music.

[@patriciocordovag6173]

Me too moved to tears

[@JazzPiano60]

If I had any word about this man I would say it. But I'm speechless.

[@killasic]

The way he played, you would have thought that the man had 7 hands... Epically beautiful !

[@theRealPlaidRabbit]

I love the way he teases with about nine other songs in the introduction...

[@pacrimco]

Amazing rendition of a movie standard. Only Erroll could do this, only Erroll.

[@albertojosecacurri5692]

Thats quite right!!! ONLY ERROLL !!!!!!!!!

[@RETROGEMS]

Really enjoyed this version...Erroll Garner is the greatest!

[@jazzguitarfreaky]

Bravo!Garner is perfect.What a talent. Greetings from Germany.

[@pnascimento100]

O melhor pianista de jazz de todos os tempos!

[@leeprier6503]

A great artist xx

[@bzackbear]

I CAN'T believe ANY negative remarks made here about this artist/musician. You critics ought to look inside your selves.

[@polskapianist]

i really dont think there is a greater jazz pianist like Earl

[@TonyWilliampianoman]

Over The Rainbow in C# ! Of course, difficult keys to play in made no difference to Erroll. As a non reader he just played tunes in the Key he was comfortable in. This resulted in some "out of this planet" sensational recordings. It did backfire on him when he tried playing a bit of Chopin or Debussy occasionally though - but even that was beautifully performed in his own way. I'm making this comment in 2018. I remember the day Erroll died over 40 years ago, and STILL he performs this magic to huge online audiences, including youngsters discovering him the very first time.

[@leroirussell1897]

The new one

[@leroirussell1897]

Ok so Bi was

[@bluemonk9480]

Keys with a lot of black notes are nicer to play big chords on man, you just have a lot more grip

[@Навуходоносор-я5к]

Необыкновенно красивое романтичное исполнение! 👍👍👍

[@frida773]

AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!!!!

[@11hoosier11]

The chord at 3:54 defines jazz for me. It wasn't the chord I expected and that made it all the more beautiful.

[@daveundconnie1]

He did the same chord at 3:54 twice before (1:45 & 2:52)...

[@DYNODRUM]

Erroll almost Turns this Piano piece into a Harp solo ..Unreal ability and Musicianship.. all The way,Straight Ahead...

[@TruthSurge]

Seems I am understanding now the jazz guys were always looking to push the harmonic chord sequences as far out as they could and still somehow bring them back into the key again. I like this guy's sound. It sounds kind of soft and distant and smooth mostly (except those really loud parts around 2:50 that kind of didn't work for me). Interesting ideas in this. The half step dissonance after 3 min. pretty brave to ask the listener to accept total dissonance on each melody note.

[@TruthSurge]

@@andygalligan4184 ok

[@forrestgreen2]

It's wonderfully beautiful! He is so talented, Erroll Garner. My first listening. Thanks for posting notthatJimEllis.

[@midnightalley4586]

Good, great then perfect, then after, it's Errol Garner.

[@TheTommySE]

a romantic date and the pianist playing this… will lead to falling in love :)

[@celiamattoso446]

[@pianopiano64]

fantastico !

[@baciccia101]

bellissimo e bravissimo

[@blakely1955]

"…why oh why can't I?"

[@ShinjiIkariFTW]

Absolutely epic

[@MrShunyata]

Victor C is correct - but - specifically, Garner's often long intro's are part of what made him a JAZZ pianist; once he broke a melody down thoroughly, only then did he begin to play the easily recognizable melody of a tune...

[@tikocanoes2762]

マイルスがこよなく愛したピアノ　エロール・ガーナー

[@soledadlorenzoalonso8022]

Siempre fantástico señor Garner

[@girlinagale]

Crikes! Me too. This Garner is so good to my alto sax playing.

[@charlesadams3693]

Nope...he was all of 3 years-old when he started playing! By the age of 7 he had a regular gig on a local radio show in Pittsburg! This early start was good, since sadly, we lost him at 55 years of age, to a coronary, if I remember correctly!

[@stevemulwitz8658]

THANK YOU CHARLES

Un maravellos tema compost per Harold Arlen, popularitzar per la tambe maravellosa Judy Garland quant encara era una adolescent i que l'Erroll Garner en fa una recreacio unica en jazz. Miquel Palou

[@soledadlorenzoalonso8022]

Un comentario interesante

[@stevemulwitz8658]

ERROLL MUST HAVE BEEN PLAYING HIS INSTRUMENT AS SOON AS HE WAS BORN EITHER THAT OR WAS HEARING IT!

[@michastrzelecki3377]

Nastrój, finezja, wdzięk... Genialne wykonanie. Szkoda, że nagranie jest ucięte.

[@victorcager]

No it's not "kinda slow until 1:40"...that's the not often performed verse of the composition!!!! When listening to great works of American Classical (Jazz) music, always think big and deep...become intellectually intertwined with the artist and the composition!!! Remember Jazz is a very dignified music....

[@pablolinyang871]

incredible

[@bigtombowski]

Are you the $1k guy? 😉

[@TheEnjayn]

Errol Garner's videos rarely get any dislikes - I see why...

[@BuckshotLaFunke1]

There is no boundary to art (Charlie Parker).

[@soledadlorenzoalonso8022]

Escuchando al señor Garner me olvido del mundo

[@BuckshotLaFunke1]

Dear oh dear. The baddest.

[@camillebouchard6436]

I love ++++

[@howardlewis1449]

First heard Erroll playing 'Ghost of a Chance' many years ago and was hooked on his own unique style and the musical 'atmosphere' he could create - which was Different for any piece each time he played it - while always respecting the melody. Still regularly playing his recordings after 60 years or so. Without being able to read music he is a true artist. (Howard Lewis)

[@soledadlorenzoalonso8022]

Un buen comentario

[@paulorodrigues9742]

Que interpretação!

[@francescamoulirier8898]

❤

[@notthatJimEllis]

I have fixed the description I never meant any disrespect to Mr. Garner his music is inspiring.

[@2raloo]

Best

[@aerofredywr]

Introduction may be slow, but it`s beautiful.

[@ecrsbelem]

B r a v o ! Genial!

[@TheLola1942]

Dreamy!!!!

[@kmask2002]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@sanmarinojr]

you'know those katz around the corner on 52nd st? dizzy, charlie, monk & so on..and the lion king, Duke?

[@chrish12345]

cheers man

[@chrish12345]

I'm not always sure he's hittin the right chords (that he would ideally want) but I guess that's part of his talent, not a cultured player like Peterson but very instinctive and captivating.

[@notthatJimEllis]

Thank you for your comment I have fixed the description. I never meant any disrespect.

[@sanmarinojr]

No problem, I should be thanking you anyway!

[@baciccia101]

mi fa sognare

[@joem9557]

Amazing. But you really did kill it chopping it off at the end… o)

[@WannabeHyosin]

does anybody know the name of the album including this song?

[@porkyrauschenberg3212]

😉👍

[@diegodymitrow6182]

Seriously? No,no,no that is just taking the micky, ok there a lot of pianists oscar peterson is fantastic but erroll i have no words how good he is.

[@Regolith]

Why does the song cut off at the end? :(

[@DENNISSWART1]

Whose Earl?

[@zeldunn4663]

notice how many endings

[@gmnboss]

13 people get more pleasure from their eyes or other senses

[@chrish12345]

cat?

[@baciccia101]

doo un anno ritorno a sognare

[@misterpirzy]

troppo prolisso ...

[@user-hb9qv]

Worst cutoff ever if it's an official recording. Are you sure there's not a second side/track to the tape/vinyl? EDIT: rhetorical question. I already know it's your recording that's terrible. Get the full version, where he cuts off and starts playing again like Fats Waller.

[@sanmarinojr]

@notthatJimEllis why did you cut the song like that in the end? It's ugly and disrespectful, and your words in the description box are dreadful.. stick with it? I mean you obviously don't know who are we talking about dude, watch your manners sir..
