Only difference, IMO, was that Errol really knew how to enhance the canvas with the band’s presence. Whereas the band seemed to always hold back Art.

Garner is the greatest. He took accessible pop themes and kept it listenable, but if you are the least bit musical you can appreciate the insanely great depth at which he operated. This is as heavy as anything by Tyner, Peterson, Coltrane, Miles or whomever. Garner just happened to be musical and very entertaining as well. This stuff ALWAYS makes me smile!

A natural genius with an unusual yet enervating and driving style. He was very short-only 5 foot 2 and- often sat on stacked telephone books. I have never seen a player seem to enjoy playing the piano more than he did. Died very young at 55 in 1977.

@ Sean G. - Erroll Garner was without question one of the greatest musical geniuses of the 20th century. Both within jazz and generally-speaking. By the age of four, he was imitating music he had heard on the piano, and soon the young Garner proved to have a near-perfect memory for music. He was capable of hearing a lengthy and complex piece and later accurately playing all or most of it from memory. He knew thousands of songs and pieces of music by memory, and never had the need to learn to read or use standard notation. He could play with equal facility in any key, and would often cycle a tune through all twelve keys - or some portion thereof - in the course of a number. He had a highly-advanced understanding of chords, harmony and tonality, and used many of the innovations made famous by impressionistic composers such as Ravel and DeBussy, in his own playing. Although not strictly a bebop musician, he performed with such luminaries as Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie - during the 1940s - when that music was being created. He authored a number of standards, the most-famous of which is "Misty." Garner's music is loved by the masses, which may be one reason certain critics in the jazz world belittle his style and music, but the critics are the ones who are fools. Garner's style is extremely difficult to master, and only the very best pianists can even get close, people like the gifted Hal Galper, to name one.

He's playing a conga, but I have to give you credit because the gentleman playing conga in this case was Jose Mangual Sr., who was actually one of the finest bongo players in the biz. Bongos are the small pair of drums that are placed between the player's legs - they are actually a very different instrument than the conga drum and serve a different function in the rhythm. Jose Mangual was one of the tastiest cats ever to do it.

And to my awesome delight in 34 years of listening to Garner (since I first heard CONCERT BY THE SEA when I was 11 and heard it so many times since) everything that "HAPPENED" in every record he made was ORIGINAL and AWESOME!!!! And many new posthumous releases since 1988 continue to wonderfully attest to Garner's magnificent pianistic artistry and one-of-a-kind joy of making music!!
