It’s all about virtuosity and STYLE. Erroll is off the charts in both cases. In my humble opinion, no other pianist even comes close. There are more than a few fine and even great pianists and I have studied many of them but Mr. G is my hands down favorite. I am 82 years old and had photo taken of he and I when a lad fifteen years. It hangs proudly in my bedroom. If I were single it would be poster size in my living room. Very few days go by when I am not listening to his music. A good deal of the remaining time is spent with his music running through my head. Crazy huh!
Erroll Garner is surely one of the greats, but I believe Art Tatum and Bud Powell are strong contenders too, each being sublime at their own particle style and method. Bud Powell is my personal favorite, many of the reasons being how much I can relate to aspects of his life and the amount of compassion I feel for him, but Erroll Garner fills me with such a powerful and radiating happiness that it makes me want to spread it to everyone. That is a very unique power he has that I one day wish to be able to induce in people myself. I believe Mr. Garner really had something special, as did the other two I mentioned. I loved reading your comment! You put it very well. Have a wonderful day and enjoy your tunes :)
Dude I absolutely love Errol garner but I gotta say…Oscar Peterson? Liiiike dang. His quick style and just the sound he commands out of the piano is anazing
Yo lo descubrí el año pasado y tengo 65.....nunca será tarde para descubrir este majestuoso músico; lo sorprendente es que nunca aprendió a leer música. Saludes desde Colombia.
Astounding playing! His genius is profound, is improvisation is stupendous and is awe inspiring. Such Mastery of the pitch space. His connection to the supernal is mystical.
Ten-thousand stars!!!! Erroll to me was the most massive talents in music the world has ever produced. His music is like musical joy. Self-taught, having never taken a single lesson, he did things that many pianists said was impossible. He is my favorite musician regardless of what instrument he played. Sometimes he just makes me laugh untill I cry tears of pure joy. He was like a God to me and he made people so happy with his amazing genius and artistry!
Vintage Erroll Garner. Always a pleasure to hear the little genius at work. He died far too soon, aged just 55 on 2nd January 1977. My favourite jazz pianist.
Pure, unadulterated, 100 percent, uncut, mastery of the ivories. We're witnessing the joy of a GENIUS at work and play! R.I.P. oh great one! What a legacy! 🎹🎹🎹 🎶🎵
8:15 este músico no tiene que mirar el teclado,es el único que lo hace,desde la década de 1930, cuando tocaba en el carne hi hall con un memorable trío maravilloso ❤❤❤❤
That's Jose Mangual on Congas and I believe Ike Isaacs bass and Jimmy Smith drums, Jimmy I saw with Lambert Hendricks Bavan at Birdland on a bill with John Coltrane.
Technical education please. How did Erroll only have to hear a song to get it then engraved in his memory to play for us? How does that work? hundreds of songs.
If anybody on this planet knows of a jazz pianist who was or is better than Errol Garner please name him/her and place their playing on world news for us all to judge.
Any of you guys remember that movie face off with John Travolta and Nicolas Cage I'm going to cut my own face off to this song this is a great song to cut your face off too!!!!

Genius is a beautiful thing ❤
Wooooowwwww. If you can sit still while listening to this, better check your pulse!
Erroll is one man orchestra. What he does on piano is IMPOSSIBLE.
Erroll the BEST❤
The most inventive pianist. So entertaining and entrancing.
Absolutely fabulous pianist.
I like very much how Erroll open and ended this concert with his trade mark song Misty in a swinging style.
My favorite jazz pianist bar none!
Beyond words? No,Stunning, Hardly possible.
WOOOOOOWWWWWW. Fabulous pianist! Genius again! Thank you!
Erroll Garner had the greatest of all of it!
When Jazz was Jazz! Swing, blues, unpretentious, raw, more heart and soul than brain!

Erroll was so full of technique and music we will never hear such a talented musician like garner again
My favorite jazz pianist!!!!
Astounding playing! His genius is profound, is improvisation is stupendous and is awe inspiring. Such Mastery of the pitch space. His connection to the supernal is mystical.
Divine. I love it.
The greatest ever. Beyond words. Never was or will be better. Astounding.
RIp. Erroll. Miss you so much. Thanks.
THERES THAT GENIUS AGAIN!!!
GARNER SURVOLE LE PIANO, COMME UN OISEAU QUI CHANTE ET ENCHANTE NOUS TOUS...!!! SAUDADES... Salvador/Brasil.
Eroll was ahead of his time that big muscular sound he gets from the piano. Tight conga playing and drumming as well.
Ten-thousand stars!!!! Erroll to me was the most massive talents in music the world has ever produced. His music is like musical joy. Self-taught, having never taken a single lesson, he did things that many pianists said was impossible.
He is my favorite musician regardless of what instrument he played. Sometimes he just makes me laugh untill I cry tears of pure joy. He was like a God to me and he made people so happy with his amazing genius and artistry!
The man who invented Lock hands Style, a brilliant leap forward in Jazz.
Vintage Erroll Garner. Always a pleasure to hear the little genius at work. He died far too soon, aged just 55 on 2nd January 1977. My favourite jazz pianist.
Increíble señor Garner
Suona il Pianoforte COME DIRIGESSE UNA GRANDE ORCHESTRA ! JAZZ E SWING SPETTACOLARE !! Armonie MERAVIGLIOSE ! GENIO ERROLL !!
Genius like no other 😅
Saudades do meu tempo com. Errol. G. piano-jazz das épocas de 60 e. 70 sucesso sempre 👏👏👏🎼👏❤️🙏
Not just my favorite jazz pianist BUT my favorite pianist of all time. And as an amazing musician in history.
Excelente.....!!
I just transcribed the second song On green dolphin street some days ago. Ane i still dont understand how he could improvise that way!!!
Pure, unadulterated, 100 percent, uncut, mastery of the ivories. We're witnessing the joy of a GENIUS at work and play!
R.I.P. oh great one!
What a legacy! 🎹🎹🎹 🎶🎵
Thanks so much for posting this!
Gracias Maestro.
How many fingers does this guy have? I love him, always have. Saw him live once, Cape Cod. Didn't disappoint!
If you need an inquiry about music here it is in its abundance. Sitting on the New York City telephone directory does not produce wrong numbers.
Erroll and Jose Mangual : that's my kick ...
8:15 este músico no tiene que mirar el teclado,es el único que lo hace,desde la década de 1930, cuando tocaba en el carne hi hall con un memorable trío maravilloso ❤❤❤❤
thank you
The clip starts (& ends) with a version of EG's "Misty" played quite differently than what you found on the record. Green Dolphin Street is next.
That's Jose Mangual on Congas and I believe Ike Isaacs bass and Jimmy Smith drums, Jimmy I saw with Lambert Hendricks Bavan at Birdland on a bill with John Coltrane.
The tune at 6:40 I think is called The shadow of your smile.
❤
genious
A small man agiant pianist.
He did not simply play classics, he reinvened them
He also created classics (misty)
You will never catch MF. Only the best...................
More (please) !
Technical education please. How did Erroll only have to hear a song to get it then engraved in his memory to play for us? How does that work? hundreds of songs.
Thays ok!!! Terríble good!
Несравнимый талант. Творец чудес😊💪
And just think, he did not read a note of music!!
Do you have any more footage from Erroll Garner? If so, I will gladly pay.
YES, I have more Errol Garner stuff, contact me by e-mail - johnwet22@gmail.com
If anybody on this planet knows of a jazz pianist who was or is better than Errol Garner please name him/her and place their playing on world news for us all to judge.
Бесподобно
The words are blocking the view of his hands
Just bonkers n that's all I have t say bout that
Hi, what’s the name of the tune that begins at 10:58?
"I Can't Get Started" by Vernon Duke (composer) and Ira Gershwin (lyricist).
Hey what's the name of the tune at 6:40 ?
The shadow of your smile
Any of you guys remember that movie face off with John Travolta and Nicolas Cage I'm going to cut my own face off to this song this is a great song to cut your face off too!!!!
Increible enlace hombre piano.
Hubiera sido mas brillanre aún conmenor demostración de su maestria natural.
Laber laber
Totally superfluous the congas, Erroll out of the goodness of his heart did that guy some charitable favour. And let him ruin the concert.
Wer besser
❤️
