Erroll Garner - Live in Paris (1973) | Qwest TV

[@robkuiters]

The greatest piano performer of all time, Mr. Garner himself !

[@aclifford652]

In my late teens I discovered my old man's jazz records. There were three I nearly wore out. One was Jimmy Witherspoon live at The Renaissance, with Gerry Mulligan and Ben Webster. Another was 'The Bosses' ; The Count Basie trio with Big Joe Turner, recorded in '73. The third one was Erroll Garner 'Concert By The Sea'. Amazing stuff, a bit like jazz-Rachmaninov.

Erroll Garner is one of my favorite jazz pianists alongside Bud Powell, Art Tatum, Sun Ra, Ahmad Jamal, and Thelonious Monk. Many others too, ofc. So much great music left for us by these giants of men, even when they were walking it must have leaned with a swing! Erroll had a great gift and I take much inspiration from him in my own music, even though our sounds are very different (and of course, I'm not as good as him yet, not that it's a competition.) I hope one day that my music can touch people's hearts and make them laugh and weep and smile and gnash their teeth and feel confused by what is going on while having this questioning lead them to clarity with what they want from music. One can dream, and I feel like dreaming helps me learn to play better instead of seeing these feats as unachievable and other-worldly. Thank you so much for posting this, it's among the best Garner recordings I've heard.

Fabulous how Erroll and probably his best bassist Ernest McCarthy (and the other great sidemen) so strongly live the music they play)

[@stephanedubarry8624]

And also José Mangual and Jimmy Smith for sure

formidable improvisateur, formidable main gauche..

[@grahamandrews2145]

Erroll played the impossible. It's as simple as that. As a (jazz) pianist he was without equal.

[@PhilWatson]

Nothin to it, effortless - for a genius!

The name of this tune, please.

[@Ishibashi_0118]

Just found out that it's actually one of Erroll Garner's originals called "Afinidad" and is a rather rare live version of this tune.
