This is incredible...

[@peterhunt5890]

DIVINE thank you

[@rogermarch8962]

There's people who can play and then there's musicians.

[@klingelhorn]

The flow of melody never stops!

[@jppontat3909]

Sublime

[@autumnleaves2766]

Erroll Garner never disappoints. My all time favourite jazz pianist, he can never be knocked off the top spot on the podium for me, even if Tatum and Peterson were perhaps technically superior.

[@johnhurley1000]

Fantastic, indeed.

It amazes me how different people hear different things from the same recording. The double bass sounds perfect on this track and yet someone can't hear it. I think a hearing check is called for!

[@brookemaxwell2276]

Computer speakers... :(

"Errol Garner is justly famous for what jazzmen call 'fooling around with the beat,' because he doesn't seem to let his left hand know what his right hand is doing. In general, his left hand plays a steady 4/4 march rhythm, quite opposite to the modern trend, but his right hand is playing the melody in a variety of changing tempos: first he drags behind and then he more than catches up in constantly varying fractions of the beat" - The Story of Jazz by Marshall Stearns

Viva la difference!

[@ВаняСтойкова-э6т]

На четыре четверти ему нет равных! Хочется от Гарнера что-нибудь на три четверти, на шесть восьмых, на пять четвертей, т.д.

This looks like the BBC "Jazz 625" session but I don't remember this tune being broadcast.

Would his life and career have lasted longer had he done things differently for maintaining health? Fair question to say the least.

[@tchavolo3]

It always struck me how, especially on the recordings but also here, how inaudible the bass is. I assume this was deliberate, perhaps Errol's choice, as if the bass were there for the pianist's purposes, an auditory prop. Of course, Garner is so protean he sounds like a solo performer in almost every context but the recordings with Bird.

[@peggefields4774]

I love your word "protean" for that perfectly describes Erroll Garner's musical genius.

[@freddiefrumko4230]

What would programs in special education have done for his work and career as a jazz pianist years ago? Do a comparative study for coming to terms with an evaluation of musical talents of Peterson and Tatum and Garner. Not an unreasonable request in the least.
