Erroll Garner Playing Misty-Authentic Version

This is Erroll Garner himself dramatically performing his famous piece. It is everything Liberace's is not. This performance is executed in the style in which he wrote it before the words were composed at a later date.

Look at me,
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand,
I get misty, holding your hand.

Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear,
I get misty the moment you're near

You can say that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't you realize how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.

On my own,
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left,
My hat from my glove,
I get misty, and too much in love.

My playlists include music by Lee Liberace, Jon England, Richard Clayderman, Roger Williams, Hoagy Carmichael, Michel Legrand, Art Tatum, Dino Kartsonakis, Errol Garner, Charlie Schaffer, Russ Conway, Ferrante & Teicher, Carl Doy, Beegie Adair, Caravelli, Floyd Cramer, Geoff Love, Horst Jankowski, Ronnie Aldrich, Stanley Black, David Foster, Claude Bolling, Edison Valencia, Marrina Waks, and one Liberace imitator who tags his stuff [Roger Williams] and [Branson] and has told me not to mention his name. There are also many pieces by little known [nobodies] who are fantastic piano soloists, admired mainly by their YouTube fans. I am looking for videos of Bill Pursell, Felix Slatkin, George Shearing, John Arpin, Norm Geller, Norman Percival, and Gordon Franks. I would be amiss if I didnt have the greats Del Wood and JoAnn Castle on my page, however, they are only favorited, and not in the playlists. As much as I admire their talent, its a far cry from the romantic style Im after.

Hope you enjoy.

Thank you for the education on that piece. I didn't know he never learned to read music. I guess what I meant by authentic was that it was really Erroll playing it in the video. Not somebody else that completely restyled and embellished it according to their own liking.

at some moments i think is better than sex...

I can hear this song played by EG over and over again.

His playing is so effortless and often he doesn't even look at the keyboard. Makes it look easy.

This is what music should be like, a joy to play.

Ahhh! Play Misty for Me! Terrific and best Clint Eastwood music.

Left and right handed, he was great!

[sdh74]

One of the most underappreciated and under celebrated jazz pianists of the 20th century. He was BRILLIANT!!!

who did the words

[Jerryrocky1]

Bottom line...like Gretsky to hockey and Jordan to basketball,Erroll Garner was put on this earth to play piano.

Grazie per il post .

@MikeHenrick don't get uppity fool. have you asked a "expert" jazz pianist to play it in Ab? i'll bet you 5 to 1 on a ten they can, in Ab or C#, or any key. Or most any other standard. It's part of the basic criteria. They wouldn't be working with other jazz musicians if they couldn't. Can you?

[markmarktarmann]

@MikeHenrick because it s an easy key to play/improvise in. Eb major is the relative minor of c minor, which is every pianist's easy key. Ab is bit trickier with the added flat/black note. also it s a comfortable key for sax/horns. many of the standards in the real books are in Eb. also, in Eb it s a comfortable key for male vocalists. Ab would be much too high, or low. I usually play it in C when i sing it because in Eb it's too high for me to reach the top notes.
