Guys, I’m old enough to remember seeing Earl Garner live on the Tonight Show years ago. Johnny Carson ask him specifically about whether he could read music. He admitted that he could not. Why should this be so difficult to believe? Think of all of the very talented blind pianists (Ray Charles anyone?) who have been popular over the years.

@@vova47 Your cynicism has such a hold over you that you found it easier to fabricate an untruth rather than consider the notion that a man could play piano this well and yet not be able to read music. It is an established fact that he never could read music. How sad you are.

I tried to learn some of his songs on piano. I quickly realized that besides not having the physical capability, I couldn't even begin to keep up with his mental processes. His improvisations are so creative, and he just reels them off one after another without even looking at the keyboard. Pure genius!

The one and only Erroll Garner, my all-time favourite jazz pianist and the one I never get tired of hearing. Earlier I was listening to his albums "That's My Kick" (1966), "Gemini" (1971), "Dreamstreet" (1959) and "One World Concert" (1962), all of them brilliant. Always nice to see clips of his live performances, he died just at the time I was getting really interested in jazz but a music teacher at school who gave me informal jazz piano lessons for about 18 months never mentioned Garner, only Peterson and Tatum. Garner was a genius who died far too young, aged just 55.
