I’m 84 and have been enjoying Errol all that time but never heard anyone who could come close to his playing until now. Close your eyes and imagine the concert hall at Carmel. Wonderful and somehow respectful of the original.
…but surely (Shirley) Lullaby of Birdland was written by George Shearing???? (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UHlZ94wNF74.htmlsi=Wq5PKf206t3Y4v3t )
I have. I think it's all good. Keep in mind I am not Garner but love him very much. With that said, I think a Garner comp on this song is just great because he did that himself as well when he recorded it of course....
You don't need to waste your time on replying to such ignorant comments! I discovered you tonight and i hope to meet you one day. Your LH voicings are excatly as errold did, the touch and the swing is great. It's funny because some are so simple (Ab C Eb F on Ab6) and some sound so well in drops (Eb Ab C F for. also Ab6) I could talk for hours about all the nice stuff you are using. Great job!
