His happiness is simply too contagious :)

[multi787311]

is it true Erroll cold not read music and played by ear ? One other thing I heard that he only played a song once when he was recording any truth in any of this ???

[slapmyfunkybass]

@multi787311 yes, he couldn't read music and played by ear... he learnt the piano by watching the piano teacher's hands... not sure about the other question, but i would say it was true, he probably believed in one take and that was it....

miles davis on bass



[aerofredywr]

If had played only "Misty" in his entire life, he still would have been one of the greatest piano players.

[vimana19]

Erroll had a very unique bag of tricks...Absolutely wonderful ideas..and to think he was compared at time to "Comic Players" at times. ??? Huh ..what is that..what could they have been listening too? Oh well your either blessed with ears or you just don't have them.
