Concert by the Sea

Concert by the Sea (1955) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

Concert by the Sea was arguably the finest record pianist Erroll Garner ever made, and he made many -- a few outstanding -- good recordings. But this live recording (September 19, 1955) with his trio (Eddie Calhoun, bass; Denzil Best, drums) presented a typical Garner program; it was a mixture of originals, show biz, and pop standards delivered ...

Erroll Garner's Finest Hour

Erroll Garner's Finest Hour (2003) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

Erroll Garner's Finest Hour contains tracks recorded by the pianist for Verve between 1945 and 1955, and truly does represent his best material for the imprint. This is where he developed his sublime melodic and harmonic improvisation technique. Cuts like "Embraceable You," with his fluid right hand dancing over the keys, or his nearly definitive ...

Introducing Verve Jazz Masters, Vol. 20

Introducing Verve Jazz Masters, Vol. 20 (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

At least this pocket-sized, budget-priced trip through 22 years of jazz doesn't pretend to be a definitive primer on jazz. It is simply and purely a sampler from the first 19 issues of Verve's Jazz Masters series; in other words, a sampler of a sampler. There is some clever segueing; the opening track, Louis Armstrong's "Just One of Those Things" ...

The Original Misty

The Original Misty (1954) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

Erroll Garner's first album for Mercury Records, The Original "Misty" from the Piano Virtuoso, is a lovely, swinging record that spotlights his light, sophisticated style. Supported by bassist Wyatt Ruther, drummer Eugene "Fats" Heard and conga player Candido Camero, Garner swings a number of standards -- "You Are My Sunshine," "I've Got the World ...

That's My Kick/Gemini

That's My Kick/Gemini (1966) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

This CD from Telarchive (a subsidiary of Telarc) reissues the complete content of two later Errol Garner LPs: That's My Kick and Gemini. The great pianist was still in prime form and, although his sidemen are fine in support (Wally Richardson is on guitar on the first date and the congas of Jose Mangual add a Latin flavor to the music to both ...

Timeless

Timeless (2002) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

This Savoy jazz compilation features previously issued tracks by piano great Erroll Garner. While this is a nice single-disc budget collection of Garner's work in the 1940s and '50s, it by no means represents the scope of his career. Collectors need not bother. Matt Collar, All Music Guide

Jazz: The Definitive Performances

Jazz: The Definitive Performances (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

To commemorate the end of the century, Sony Music assembled the gargantuan 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century. The title was imposing, as was the idea behind it -- to chronicle the life of the oldest record label in the music industry. To be clear, Sony Music has not existed for 100 years, but the heart of its catalog, ...

The Complete Johnny Mercer Songbook

The Complete Johnny Mercer Songbook (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

One of the giants of American popular song gets his due with this three-disc Verve box, comprising a trio of separately released compilations. Though Mercer's repertoire of classic songs doesn't quite make for three discs, Verve ably solves the problem by pairing a vocal track and an instrumental version on separate discs, such as "Too Marvelous ...

Other Voices (1956) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

Among his more pop (and popular) releases when it was issued in 1956. This reissue isn't of the highest caliber; it's merely a decent one. Find the original if possible. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Jazz 'Round Midnight: Erroll Garner

Jazz 'Round Midnight: Erroll Garner (1945) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

Another in a long line of fine Jazz 'Round Midnight collections from Verve, this Erroll Garner installment finds the pianist on a fine set of both trio sides and solo pieces. And if a jazz figure was ever tailor-made for this ballad-heavy series, then it's the dulcet-fingered Garner. This is especially true on such album highlights as "Don't Blame ...

The Elf [Savoy]

The Elf [Savoy] (1945) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

This set allows one to hear the very distinctive pianist Errol Garner in his early days. Four tracks are with bassist John Levy and drummer George de Hart in 1945, but the lion's share is with bassist John Simmons and drummer Alvin Stoller from 1949. The medium-tempo pieces are the most enjoyable with Garner's slightly behind-the-beat right hand ...

Body and Soul (1951) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

As was the case with Fats Waller, Erroll Garner's natural and advanced musical talent ingratiated him to jazz aficionados and experts alike. Garner took to the piano intuitively, never needing to take lessons because of his exceptional ear for music. Further breaking the mold, he transcended many of the jazz styles he came up with, including both ...

The classic songs of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart are rendered on this outstanding three-disc set, which features vocalists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Shirley Horn, Tony Bennett and Cassandra Wilson. Among the spotlighted instrumentalists are Charlie Parker, Coleman Hawkins, Art Tatum, Stan Getz, Bill ...

Solitaire (1955) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

On March 14, 1955, Erroll Garner sat down at the piano and played one interesting solo after another, resulting in two albums of music. Seven pieces (all but "That Old Feeling" are taken as ballads) were originally released as Solitaire; this CD reissue adds four additional selections that are taken at faster paces. Although not essential, this ...

Encores in Hi-Fi (1950) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

This Erroll Garner record compiles portions of sessions with three different trios (John Simmons and Shadow Wilson, Wyatt Ruther and Fats Heard, or Al Hall and Specs Powell). Of course, the rhythm section rarely mattered on any Garner date, as their role was to keep time and leave the spotlight to the leader. The pianist is in his usual superb ...

Close-Up in Swing/A New Kind of Love (1961) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

Two former LPs were reissued in full on this single CD. The earlier date features pianist Erroll Garner in typically brilliant and witty form with his 1961 trio, which also included bassist Eddie Calhoun and drummer Kelly Martin. Whether it be a sly "My Silent Love," "All of Me," or a joyful "Back In Your Own Backyard," Garner is heard throughout ...

Soliloquy (1957) more music like this

by Erroll Garner

This LP is only a portion of a 1957 studio session which ended up producing no fewer than 16 solo tracks. Erroll Garner is in great form on this solo date, beginning with a lively "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To" that evokes both his bouncing basslines and his inherent lyricism. Unlike most interpretations, his arrangement of "If I Had You" ...

This two-fer from the Telarc label's Archive series brings together two fine but unrelated albums from jazz piano legend Erroll Garner. Campus Concert was recorded in the spring of 1964 at Purdue University, and shows the affinity Garner shared with his student audience in the days when jazz was considered cooler on campus than the dominant ...

Two of pianist Erroll Garner's albums for his Octave label have been reissued on full on this single CD from Telarc. Backed by bassist Eddie Calhoun and drummer Kelly Martin, Garner is heard stretching out in the studios and playing in concert at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. Among the most consistent of jazzmen, Garner typically romps through a ...

Founded in 1947, Atlantic Records has been the home of some of jazz's more important figures (as well as blues). This compilation, originally issued as a two-fer LP, catches some of the excellent performances by the label's stable of jazz pianists over a period of 35 years. The earliest track is from Erroll Garner's first and only Atlantic album, ...

This out-of-print LP features a typically exuberant solo set by pianist Erroll Garner. Garner actually recorded 20 selections during the one session, seven of which are on the album.
