You know you are great if Art Tatum loves you and Oscar Peterson can't imitate you!

This was a programme I originally recorded in the early Eighties, on VT - and I just transferred THIS bit to audio tape (I only had one VCR at the time - and VT was damn EXPENSIVE then!) I loved it because even the great OSCAR couldn't imitate Erroll - and he shows us WHY...

Hit the nail on the head! That's the first thing I noticed about him is that he was capable of using his right and left hands AS IF HE WERE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE!

His own brother Linton also a pianist said he was convinced Erroll had two brains. Erroll was a twin and his twin was a touch slow if you catch my drift so it appears to make sense. However Linton was a year older than Erroll and might have been jealous. He ended moving to Montreal, home of Oscar P. I don't remember if OP was still there or had left. Linton proceeded to get involved in language debate with the French policies there in which he really had no business doing since Quebec only has one official language which is French. I always suspected it was because he was desperately in need of public validation. He eventually moved to Vancouver where he playedthe rest of his career in a major hotel or club there where he was well-regarded. There was only recording that was ever done of him and it's available as an mp3 download. Last time I checked it was around $ 25 or so.

Erroll’s style is revered not because his style is “easy”; it’s because his interpretations are considered by millions to be the most beautiful and natural ever recorded. Obviously he had stylistic elements that are often imitated, however there’s a lot more to Erroll Garner’s unique style than right hand octaves played against strumming left hand chords.

@golsno147 Oh - behind AND AHEAD! Actually, I goofed UP on this upload! I had intended to link it to a piece I WROTE, on Garner - where I THINK I've nailed the TRUTH about his extraordinary abilities. I've corrected the error now.

HI! It´s great to hear Oscar on other pianists styles. Is it possible to here more from this or other interviews in this style with Oscar or other great piano players? Where did you find the recording? Best regards! Alex

I think Dudley Moore (comedian, actor AND jazz pianist) was actually able to play elegantly in the style of Errol Garner.
