Great how he starts Lover as Laura to fool the band. The Base man got the joke.
@2:07 here busts out into the open and into the tune proper. What a grat left hand. Con muy respecto, RIP Mr. Garner
not bad for a guy who never took a piano
lesson and can’t read music
I only discovered the glorious Erroll Garner recently and can’t believe he’s not more well known. His art is like sunshine and reminds one that life is beautiful!
Sure it is
The case is, if you sit in a bar and hear such music, you will forget about your drink:D. This is art:D

i find it halarious he playing on a out of tune piece of shat
you’re right mochiam. He’s a real genius. Most of those beloved critics are average piano bar players.
No, it’s not possible. The piano is simply very badly out of tune. Shame on British TV for using a piano like that in a broadcast, especially consdering it was of such a great as Garner.
many critics call him a super piano bar player, but gee he is a real genius, not hard jazz, not bebop, it’s errol jazz and I love it.
Garner’s intros never fail to send me straight to a beautiful moonlit dreamland. And to think that these intros are improvised on the spot…unbelievable.
Pure genius. In the inner circle of the Pantheon.
he was the only pianist that could literally make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up
Increíble su técnica pianística considerando que no leía música. Sus acordes tienen un aire debussiano y sus cambios de ritmos en la mano derecha son fantásticos, apoyados en una poderosa mano izquierda.
he just ooozed new ideas with a fantastic humour in his improvisation, yet always listenable and musical never gallavanting off too far from the tune, and foot tapping music with that driving left hand
i love his left hand, showing his “stride” roots. this program is from 1965, london. maybe it’s just possible that the piano is fine but the tape speed is off?
Unbelievable harmonics: the Claude Debussy Jazz Trio.
Skillful,cheerful and beautiful improvisation,
The filling is here.
I m retired and will never learn that and don read notes either but i v lots
of fun every day by trying his a-syncopic
left hand on my own.

ALL THESE FINE CONCERTS i MISSED IN MY LIFE
tHANK YOU SO MUCH CLassic +YouTube
Real monster. Unbelievable.When he was only 7 years old he already played on radio. Pure genius.One of the greatest ever.
They couldn’t tune the damn piano for the guy?!!
I saw hime LIVE in 1964, what a pleasure (and privilege) to see and hear him again. Always alive for me, fabulous.
A treat to watch garner and group, again. He may not’ve been a “schooled pianist” but had
a way of making that piano dance and sing.
One of the best, ever.
Thanks for the post. I’ll listen to it almost everyday. NY
