That's a great set and good news that there's more to come but I have to wonder why they didn't release it all in the first place

Erroll Garner “Nightconcert” Octave Records cd

 

I think of the two dozen or more Garner cds I have I would keep this one if I could only have one. It’s just so HIM. Sometimes I hear five or more pianists in Garner while he is still wholly himself. I hear Hines. Waller. Monk. Even aspects of Jarrett before there was Jarrett. Amazing concert, so fortunate it was captured.

Since it was still in the transport, and I love it so, I’m re-listening to this one as my first disc of the day.

Such magnificent playing full of confidence and the joy of music-making. Such a personal touch and flow. . .I especially love how the introductions morph into the “tune.” Great recording as well.

Erroll Garner “Nightconcert” Mack Avenue cd

Charles Tolliver Music Inc “Live at the Captain’s Cabin” Cellar Live 2 cd set, disc 1

My second time listening to this one. I wish the sound were better, it’s okay. . . 

Quite a performance. My interest in this sort of jazz has waned over the years. . . I used to much more excited by Tolliver’s conception and execution before. But I’m glad this has been released. My esteem for John Hicks has grown over the years so I am quite happy he is in the piano chair.
