Erroll Garner "The One and Only"

[utilitarian12]

just discovered erroll tonight, happy days, his narration is amazing

[k2anc]

I only wish "When Your Lover Has Gone" could be seen in its entirety. I've searched for an audio version and can't find one. Excellent video!

[artwitstick]

I remember my first Garner lp, there were these odd noises in the music, thought there was something wrong with the recording. Nope, just Erroll enjoying himself.

[orepse81]

Whatever life throws be it trouble or heartache Errol Garner's music and his obvious joy when playing has brought a ray of sunshine into the bluest of days. I hear him first in 1957 at the Town Tavern, Young Street, Toronto. Nearly 80 now and I'm still listening.

[golsno147]

I can identify "When your lover has gone", "One note Samba". "On the Street where you live" and "All the things you are" What are the titles of the other two items please?

[orepse81]

@golsno147 Very old ballad called, "Jeannine I Dream of Lilac Time."

[golsno147]

@orepse81 Many thanks

[Miloshevits]

It switches to "One Note Samba" at 2:00 i think

[Zordo11]

his groans are priceless :)

[slapmyfunkybass]

he makes it look just so damn easy!

[CameronBella]

:)

[BuckshotLaFunke1]

He's simply the greatest, but as of 4:00 he's clowning with gallery play.

[hotlipbrown]

My father loved Errol Garner, so I have listend to him from the cradle ! -

I am sure it helped me develop love of music and a sense of humor ! -

[RAHAN14]

@hotlipbrown i've had the same experience i've listened errol before walking ;-)

[marmiteboy99]

Genius

[ammonsammons]

[andystell]

@inwalkedcharlie WHEN YOUR LOVER HAS GONE

[maumarti63]

Grande Erroll !

[TOURAILLE2]

When Your Lover As Gone. Suède début des années 60

[rallyetube1]

I started loving Erroll Graners music when I was a boy 30 years ago. This love will never end!

[lundimanche]

Des semaines que je cherche le titre du premier morceau ! Quelqu'un l'aurait-il par hasard ?

Et la vidéo en entier ?

[TOURAILLE2]

C'est moi qui est mis ces extraits en ligne.

[Orazioflacco78]

surely not the greatest jazz piano player but no doubt one of his greatest and most recognizable stylists...

[woohooandrew]

I disagree with you.

[Orazioflacco78]

hey, i respect your opinion but don't joke please.. garner -that i love, like you- can't be compared with bill evans or keith jarrett, for exemple..jazz is not only technique but also feeling, introspection and innovation...

[schtroudlewoudle]

I would agree, but have you listened to his version of "The Autumn Leaves" ? Moving stuff...

[Orazioflacco78]

great rendition but miles'version has something special..and, however, of this french tune -"les feuilles mortes" (written by Jacques Prevert and revisited in english by the great johnny mercer), i continue to prefer the vocal reading of yves montand, bye.

[IRACEMABABU]

"jazz is not only technique but also feeling, introspection and innovation... "

Do you mean that Garner doesn't have feeling, introspection, innovation ? I'm afraid you'll be the only one to think that....

[heywally]

Me too. I think when you factor in his percussive ability, he is the best piano player in any genre including classical.

[Chimbo65]

So do I.

Erroll was Fantastic !!

[markbra]

Is that a telephone book he`s sitting on ? he sat very high when he

played the piano. !

[dearmalika]

Great Erroll Garner!

[VJQartet]

Thank you so much for posting video

of this great jazz romantic

[frankruby123]

Garner is the best of the best of the best.

[johnbresnik]

he's the only jazz pianist I've seen who is having fun playing the piano...

[longtallsallie08]

you must not listen to much jazz

[oldbiker1940]

not only have I been listening to jazz piano players for 55 years, I have also been playing jazz piano for 55 years ... yes, I have listened to a lot of jazz. Garner is the only jazz pianist I've seen who is having fun playing the piano -- all the others I have seen are working at it ... they're not having fun.

[mahoose6]

art tatum had fun when he played :)

[TysonMS]

I wish I could play like that while never looking at the keys!

[dreadtodred]

you could

[ChrisBryon]

You can. Look at Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles they've never even SEEN a piano, but they both can play

[dirtwurk]

it always fascinates me to watch erroll playing, looking around like he's strolling through the park, never looking at the keys...its amazing!

[bachboy111]

if you spend enough time on a musical instrument you know exactly where things are, and it's also as though your fingers "remember" reflexively what to do.

[BuckshotLaFunke]

DIdn't work for me, bachboy...

[magicmrmadman]

it also helps if you possess absolute pitch as he did

[toveeggertsen]

Oh Yeah, my old creaky body just gets up and MOVES despite the pain just listening to this man and his piano.

[oss587]

franchement , c'est que du bon ! le son Garner ,le touché Garner ,unique !

[da19lila38]

This Charmer just pours handfuls of happiness on the public. Can't imagine him dead and buried - hop! and he is here playing his medley smiling seductively...

[Jigov]

More you listen Erroll, more u start to like him. His style is so addictive.... i really cant stop listening him, really....SOMEBODY HELP ME I CANNNNNT STOP LISTENING ERROLL GARNER. ^_^

[hugleberthumperdink]

You need no help good sir, for he his helping you whislt you are listening. Give in to the jazz my man, give in. Resistance is futile.

[Jigov]

xixixixi ^_^

[KesavaAVP]

lol, exactly xD

[SELMER1947]

@Jigov

I understand your problem man, I have the same disease as you, I either can't stop listening Garner and...since 40 years...!!!!

It's absolutely impossible to be cured...;-)

[sergelebombe]

Whaooouuuu !!! Superb I love Erroll Garner.

[hugleberthumperdink]

its like an entire big band and the fingertips of one great jazz man. truly incredible

[JParoro]

Can anyone tell me the name of the 2nd track please?

[Jigov]

the second track is called "one note samba" and u can search in suide 62, of Erroll's stuff, just type "one note samba" in search bar. or u can chek soulseek for audio/video records, there are alot of jazz music over there.

[Chimbo65]

One Note Samba.

Stan Getz tune from the early sixties.

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Not al all, Sir, this is 'When Your Lover Has Gone'!

[54spiritedwill54]

The sound. Youtube is again fantastic.

[Lebowski53]

The best. And I love his warblings....

[austinhinchey]

I didnt know this selection but its OMG! Thanks alot for uploading it!!!!!!

[LNcello]

Woosh! I'm actually all into classical music, a string quartet fanatic, other chambre music, and style from baroque to really contemporary, but this ... is heaven on earth - I just don't get it! How does he do it - what a gifted man. And why till now I only knew him as the man of "Misty" and never sat down to listen to him playing ...

[TonyonPiano]

Merci. J'aime votre site Web.

Once again the hairs on the back of my neck raise. Garner has had this effect on me since 1974!

[yammada]

OMG! 6:16 - 6:31 just amazing!!! awesome, unbelievable and I don't know what else...

[kirkbp1965]

This guy is AMAZING!

[aerofredywr]

100% agree with Jenny6664 & Gianni737

[priapus56]

Aaaaahh! Those were the days. You could go into a boozer in London and hear some old boy trying to play in the master's style..Of course he wasn't in the same class but he was trying and the music was around and ..why is everything so shit today!!!

[gianni737]

Errol Garner and Art Tatum have always been my favourite pianists since I was a kid. jenny6664 I agree with everything you say about Erroll, and you're right no-one can ever replace him. Maybe someone else will come along who is a creative and lovely player like Art and Errol were, but in different ways. Who knows...?

[mochiam]

in some ways oscar peterson was

[BlockChordsRed]

you've posted a lot of great vids so i hate to be critical, but if you have complete performances, why would you chop them up this way? and this is not a medley. again, sorry to carp.

[jenny6664]

I have spent the last three hours just watching Erroll Garner clips. I think if you heard every album he ever recorded, you would NEVER hear the same song played twice or more and have it sound like the first one! What an amazing person. We truly lost a wonderful genius when we lost Erroll. NO ONE can ever replace him, no matter how good they are. He was just totally wonderful and amazing!

jenny6664

[janskysh]

that's really true.  i agree. he was a true genius.

[TOURAILLE2]

Only you had not watched the video in its entirety.

It is a compilation tribute to Erroll that I called "The One and Only"

In memory of an album that bore this title. In this video there

Several pieces!

[trickweazel]

Has no one else recognised that the tune title is WRONG. This tune is called,

"When your lover has gone"

[bhauth]

This is a compilation of pieces of several songs.

[jtrack1217]

blessed! he is a master

[derailleur2]

Absolutely unbelievable- passion, sweat, grace, eloquence, soul, humility, swing, compassion, genius... words simply don't do this justice.....

[sanjoman6]

erroll garner is one of the most unique jazz pianists out there.... One of my favorites (if not my favorite)

[sailin1934]

i cant believe this video only got 4 stars. it is at the very least a ten sailin1934

[jcb29arz]

Erroll...

A stunning syncopated-swing !

THE PIANIST... forever.

My favourite since 1961 (I was 17 years old)

[shela2]

I love this playing.

[pianojazz66]

Thank you very much for posting this great Medley. Erroll is one of my favourites since 25 years, he was really a unique genius.

[tjitta25]

Thank you for posting. He really was the best in the world and... he still is!!!!

[drxl44]

Wonderful medley ... lovely treatment of One Note Samba!

[senderoa]

this is great!!

[jessbsemple]

What a talent.

[kidchriz]

The sound. Youtube is again fantastic.

[donnajazz]

Yess another unique Erroll Garner.Merci beaucoupppppp. Vous aveze travaillez avec Erroll? Cést un grand honneur.

[sailboi69]

It is a medley the one and only refers to Errol. Not bad for a guy who couldn't read music or never had a lesson. Pure genius. I have a number of CD from remastered recordings featuring him.

[stevelovesjazz]

this is "When your lover has gone", it is not "the one and only". Garner is magic

[stevelovesjazz]

exuse me I didn't undestand! this is medley.
