5.0 out of 5 stars Brightest Garner, May 6, 2006

This review is from: Greatest Garner (Audio CD)

I first listened to this one on vinyl at age 9 and never forgot about it. This is a classic 50`s garner recording (analog and nice warm old sound), with very good additional tracks added to the original vinyl edition. Beautifully remastered and with improved notes and booklet, its the right cd to begin learning about this unforgettable jazz master. Driving your car, it will take you to some Woody Allen movie and make you feel happy and inspired.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOT ALWAYS GARNER AT HIS BEST BUT... A MASTERPIECE INCLUDED, February 21, 2009

By 

FRENCH JAZZ LOVER "Listen to the old masters" (ETIOLLES) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Greatest Garner (Audio CD)

This is definitively not "The Grestest Garner". Too many ballads make the beginning of the CD a bit boring. Furthermore, those are short tracks and Erroll was at his best when he had space to expand his genial imagination. As his said "I wanted to know how what would happen".

An THEN comes "perpetual emotion" and it really blew my mind. This is sheer ceativity. Having played piano for over 30 years, I thought I could "guess" which keys any player is going to hit. On "Perpetual Emotion", I lost on almost every chord. And every chord is right. This is one of the most obvious proof that Erroll could also be a real modernist who played the way he felt. For those who still doubt, just compare "perpetual emotion" recorded May 12, 1950 and "Margin for Erroll" recording July 2, 1951. Yes man, no kidding, this is the same tune. There, I've learnt what creativity meant.

An average of 3 1/2 stars for the slow tracks, 4 1/2 for the fast tracks but "Perpetual Emotion" being a MUST HAVE, 5 stars for the CD
