Erroll Garner - Live in Singer Concertzaal, Laren - 1962 • World of Jazz 

The one and only Erroll Garner. There Is No Greater piano player in the history of the world. No other piano player can play a song in so many different styles and so many different Keys depending on the mood or where his Muse would take him. Stupendous genius and incredible artistic Verve!

My father made me discover jazz and Erroll Garner together at Salle Pleyel in Paris in 1963. I was 10 years old. Since, they are still alive in me nearly 60 years after

Ernest McCarty who played bass with erroll Garner for over 5 years said in an interview, that Erroll Garner was one of the only people ever that could improvise on improvisation. Then he laughs and says I don't think I could even explain that. Actually what that means is that he takes the improvisation that he's doing at that moment and he improvises on that. You will notice that he's constantly changing within the improvisational pattern that he's doing at that time. He does improvisation on improvisation on everything that he does. That's what makes him such a genius as a human. Compared to anyone else that's ever played the piano or play either in a classical sense or in a jazz variety. Absolutely no other player could do what he did and accomplished.

The only man able to improvise at a glance without reading. Never trying to impress. Just entertain the crowd.left handed and toi short

Giant among giants. The 20th century’s most original, uplifting jazz piano genius.

Those different versions of misty never get old

The very first time I've heard Erroll Garner speak! An exceptional and incredible musician. It was indeed very good to hear his voice but it must also be said that he's always spoken directly through his music, still does and will always continue to do so!

Erroll garner was one of the greatest piano maestros of all time he could play any tune having heard it only once this included classical works he created all music that he played in an unique way and he put rhythm to add to his treatment of well known songs

Erroll Garner, what a legend. A true master, a genius at the keyboard. Fantastic and exciting intros, wonderful and inventive improvisations. Music and performance that makes you happy. I love this guy, also my father’s favorite!

I get goose pimples when I hear this great pianist perform with such keyboard artistry and feeling for the themes of the songs. A fine gentleman!

..... Just..... Different..... No one else like him. Just takes you on an excursion when he plays.

The best version of Laura and Misty that I've heard Erroll Garner play...

Errol Garner, Grand Master Jazz

My favourite jazz pianist. Was only a child when he died, so never got to hear the great man live. An incredible talent with his own unique style which has never been matched. So much joy in his playing, so much invention, improvisation, rich harmony, humour, that wonderful driving left hand in the up tempo numbers, the luscious ballads like "Laura", he could play any tune in any key. So sad that he was only 55 when he died, all that smoking caught up with him. RIP Erroll Garner 15.6.21 - 2.1.1977, small of stature, giant in talent.

one of the best jazzpianist

True master of the piano.

Эрролл Гарнер - величайший пианист- самородок. Я сожалею, что открыл его для себя всего 3 года назад. С тех пор он все время со мной. Его творчество, его талант неизменно приводит меня в состояние благоговейного изумления. Спасибо, что выложили этот замечательный концерт. Хоть я и родился только через год после него.

Полнейший кайф ! Какая легкость. Эррол не играет, а вышивает, наслаждаясь. Слушал впервые. Восхитительно!!! Спасибо!

🎹 This video is the best of the Erroll Garner clips to be found on RU-vid, with a lot of shots of his hands. 🎹

Eine Freude, zu sehen, welche Freude ein Mensch an "seiner Arbeit" hat. Und wie er sie beherrscht. Immer wieder neu. Das ist mitreissend!

Always at the top of the hill!

haha the claire de lune interlude! erroll is life

This is the first time I’ve heard him speak (except for the vocalizations he makes while playing).

Remains my favorite jazz pianist along with Ahmad and Oscar.

Extraordinario unico el mejor .feliz de escuchar esta maravilla

BRAVO!

GENIO ASSOLUTO E INCOMPARABILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O maior pianista de jazz, na minha humilde opinião, com talento e simpatia inigualáveis

Oh man so beautiful Simply magical;

no single note right hand for Errol!! What an amazing piano player.... He puts all the single right hand single note players to shame.

Garners introductions are a summit ...

Parabéns! Gostei muito

Clasico

Muito bom

If you need an inquiry into identity go no further. I heard this man perform years ago and have never been the same. Sitting on the new york city telephone directory does not not grant wrong numbers.

Avec Eddie Calhoun (contrebasse) et Kelly Martin (batterie).

My guy is sitting on a giant book l

Those guys were getting cooked under the old television lights.

Song at 8:18?

GENIUS!!!!!!

Watching Errol is both inspiring and depressing! Inspiring, because I can see and hear what the instrument is capable of. Depressing, because I will NEVER be able to make the instrument sound anything like this!!! Chopsticks 🥢 anyone?😂
