Editorial Review: Album Description: 180gm vinyl LP pressing. This album, Erroll Garner's first live concert to ever enter the market, was one of the pianist's most acclaimed and best selling recordings from the moment of its release. The combination between Erroll Garner's and the audience's enthusiasm certainly makes it a lively listening experience. Jazzbeat. 2008. Amazon.com: The sound is atrocious and the piano is out of tune, yet this live trio recording from September 9, 1955, in Carmel, California, was a bestselling album. Garner brings a wealth of imagination to every performance of every song. On uptempo numbers like "I'll Remember April" and "Red Top" he hammers away with intense left-handed figures while unleashing relentless cascades of improvised lines with his right. On ballads like "Teach Me Tonight" and "April in Paris" he plays with the softest of touches, changing tempo from verse to verse for dramatic effect. His performance of "Autumn Leaves" is so over-the-top it could have gone to parody, but not in the hands of this master entertainer. His humming, grunting vocal accompaniment--he seems to be commenting on "They Can't Take That Away from Me" as he plays it--provides a kind of side show to the performance. More than 30 years later it's still starkly original work. --John Swenson Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Two left hands & one right hand! (A Jazzy Chopin & Mozart Replica)Mr. Erroll Garner was a very talented pianist. As I've said before, this man can groove with his hands (seemingly as if he had two left hands and a right hand!). Erroll was my inspiration (and still is, although he's no longer with us). One point I failed to mention is that Mr. Garner loved to riddle his adoring fans by beginning a tune with an off-beat 60-second prelude. With this live concert album ("Concert By The Sea"), you can actually hear the audience chuckling! The man was a genius and played like one, too! My favorites on this CD is ALL songs! I can't tune any of them off. They all deserve a 10-star on the scale. Again, thanks to all the executives who (like me) treasure music by Mr. ... Read More: Rating: - Superb piano jazzOk, the sound's thin and distant. Other than that, this couldn't be much better. One of the greats at his greatest, this belongs beside the very best of Powell, Shearing, Peterson, Tatum, and Evans. High praise but not hyperbole; Erroll has The Touch, and imagination for days. Autumn Leaves is almost hilariously florid and supple; he's not afraid to unwind all the way. No one else ever played that chestnut quite like this... If there's a jazz bar in heaven, Garner takes the happy hour shift. Rating: - Erroll Garner's Jazz Errol Garner is almost unique in Jazz history in the way that he created a new style of playing his instrument, the Piano, which made him very successful (for a Jazz artist) but hardly any other musicians have copied his style. In fact there is only one other Pianist that I know of that conciously learnt to play in the style of Errol Garner and that was Dudley Moore (and he did it very well). There are a number of reasons for this, which would take too long to explain in a short album review. On this fabulous live album from September 1955 Garner is accompanied by Eddie Calhoun on bass and Denzil Best on Drums. As with all Garner recordings there are his inspired Piano introductions to tunes, that really give you absolutely no ... Read More: Rating: - Dear B. Cotgrove...George Shearing is good too, but this is an Erroll Garner CD. This record is great; read the other reviews for all the info. Rating: - The top piano jazz album of the 20th centuryErroll is at his classic best in this album. This is jazz as jazz creativity was given us by the divine. |
