Album Notes & Community Reviews

Informally recorded by a fan on a primitive tape deck in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, this album unexpectedly became one of the best-selling jazz records in history. Garner's unique, joyful piano style鈥攃haracterized by his rhythmic left-hand pulse and expressive, lagging right-hand melodies鈥攊s captured here in peak form.
