Video of Errol Garner and his trio performing "Just One of Those Things"- recorded circa 1964 Cole Porter" Composer Erroll Garner: Piano Eddie Calhoun : Bass Kelly Martin: Drums
I’m 84 and it was Concert by the sea that did it for me. I saw him twice at the Royal Festival Hall in London and he worked his socks off, perspiring and just kept playing and enjoying himself and won over everyone who was there. However, I never thought he needed the bass and drums, they just got in the way.
Nothing less than pure perfection! Thank you Mr. Garner, Mr. Calhoun, and Mr. Martin. And of course, thank you for sharing this magnificent arrangement.
At 1:00 is my favorite moment, Errol and Kelly make eye contact as Erroll is just absolutely ripping and they just smile at each other and you can tell Kelly is thinking, "Man, this guy is something else" Awesome moment, great song. All around awesome
As a child, I resided in Hempstead, Long Island with my parents Helen and 'Duke'. They possessed few LP record albums but Errol Garners's Concert by the Sea was their favorite. I was not old enought yet to appreciate jazz, but I liked how Garner mumbled under his breath while playing piano.
