Erroll Garner in London "Honeysuckle Rose"

Flextones Says:

Oct 4, 2009 - Honey suck my nose that is so clever. He has got his bass player puzzled. Then he settles in the key of F at a blistering tempo, with Honeysuckle Rose. I never realized how small Erroll's hands are. Oscar Peterson was a big man with freakishly big hands. When I see Erroll's hands I see there is hope for me.

Oct 25, 2009 - the stride à la Fats is brilliant. I am learning left hand chords - does a book of the Garner chords?

Jan 29, 2010 - @goldenlady1983 Yes, no difference between right or left hand ! His left was not used to hold the bass-line ! Here's the perfect example what you can do ! ! ! Incredible

Feb 27, 2010 - Yes, I can come up with a many, but you want ONLY one, so I will give you 1. Hiromi Uehara But see, you make a HUGE mistake when you compare musical artists. This is not a sport. Each great artist has an individual SOUND and personality when playing the music. Why not enjoy them all with what they each individually have to offer? BTW Sethy, YOU YOURSELF are a pretty fine player. :-)

May 17, 2010 - One of the most underrated jazz artists... and one of the most important. You can hear how much he influenced Ahmad Jamal (who I believe was one his students, if my memory doesn't fail me)

dnettles Says:

May 17, 2010 - I read of an account between Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson, shortly before Tatum's death, where Tatum told Peterson to watch out for "the little guy" (Garner).

When I think this fellow did not know how to read music (just like Django Reinhardt for instance) I'm so ammired and astonished! What a sense a rhythm, what a beatiful impro... He was the same thing with his music... :)))))))))))))))))))))

Jun 19, 2010 - I love it when I see the bass player take several times position to start playing the bass and every time Errol starts a new variation on the intro. It must be a real blessing when you can play in a band like this because you have to stay focussed all the time, Errol gets the best out of every musician and every time it's a surprise what come's up to his mind. Beside all this it's like heaven to hear complete freedom in music, awesome!

Jun 25, 2010 - purer wahnsinn.. allerdings begleiten hätt ich ihn nicht wollen, ein albtraum..jedesmal was anderes, da bist du auch als begleitung gefordert. aber er muss ein ziemlicher witzbold gewesen sein, so sitzt ihm der schalk hinter den ohren .. grinst sich eins ab..pausenlos.. herrlich zu schauen und hören. sonderklasse, genie....
