Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing the archival release of his early, informal recordings, this second volume further illustrates the completely idiosyncratic genius of the self-taught pianist. The solo performances capture Erroll Garner blending the heavy, driving momentum of classic Harlem stride with his own developing, highly orchestral approach to melodic improvisation.
