Editing Erroll Garner (section)

==Works==
Garner's first recordings were made in late 1944 at the apartment of [[Timme Rosenkrantz]];<ref>{{cite book | last=Toop | first=D. | title=Into the Maelstrom: Music, Improvisation and the Dream of Freedom: Before 1970 | publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing | year=2016 | isbn=978-1-4411-0277-5 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xv7XCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA92 | access-date=2020-08-01 | page=92}}</ref> these subsequently were issued as the five-volume ''Overture to Dawn'' series on [[Blue Note Records]]. His recording career advanced in the late 1940s when several sides such as "[[Fine and Dandy (song)|Fine and Dandy]]", "[[Skylark (song)|Skylark]]" and "[[Summertime (George Gershwin song)|Summertime]]" were cut. His 1955 live album ''[[Concert by the Sea]]'' was a best-selling jazz album in its day and features [[Eddie Calhoun]] on bass and [[Denzil Best]] on drums. This recording of a performance at the [[Sunset Center]], a former school in [[Carmel-by-the-Sea, California]], was made using relatively primitive sound equipment, but for [[George Avakian]], the decision to release the recording was easy.

In 1954 Garner composed "Misty", first recording it in 1955 for the album ''[[Contrasts (Erroll Garner album)|Contrasts]]''. Lyrics were later added by [[Johnny Burke (lyricist)|Johnny Burke]]. "Misty" rapidly became popular, both as a jazz standard and as the signature song of [[Johnny Mathis]]. It was also recorded by [[Ella Fitzgerald]], [[Frank Sinatra]], [[Sarah Vaughan]], [[Ray Stevens]] and [[Aretha Franklin]].

''[[One World Concert]]'' was recorded at the 1962 Seattle World Fair (and in 1959 stretching out in the studios) and features [[Eddie Calhoun]] on bass and [[Kelly Martin (musician)|Kelly Martin]] on drums.<ref>{{cite web|first=Scott|last= Yanow |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/dreamstreet-one-world-concert-mw0000430900 |title=One World Concert/Dream Street – Erroll Garner &#124; Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards |website=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=September 2, 2015}}</ref> Other works include 1951's ''[[Long Ago and Far Away (Erroll Garner album)|Long Ago and Far Away]]'', 1953's ''[[Erroll Garner at the Piano]]'' with Wyatt Ruther and Fats Heard,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Erroll-Garner-Erroll-Garner-At-The-Piano/release/1251472 |title=Erroll Garner – Erroll Garner At The Piano (Vinyl, LP) |website=Discogs.com |year=1979 |access-date=August 2, 2015}}</ref> 1957's ''[[The Most Happy Piano]]'', 1970's ''[[Feeling Is Believing]]'' and 1974's ''[[Magician (Erroll Garner album)|Magician]]'', on which Garner performs a number of classic standards. Often the trio was expanded to add Latin percussion, usually a conga.

In 1964, Garner appeared in the UK on the music series ''[[Jazz 625]]'' broadcast on BBC Two The programme was hosted by [[Steve Race]], who introduced Garner's trio with Eddie Calhoun on bass and Kelly Martin on drums.<ref name="bythesea">{{cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970204731804574391224002886930?mod=rss_Lifestyle |title=Garner's Serendipitous Hit|newspaper=[[The Wall Street Journal]]|first=Will |last=Friedwald|date= September 17, 2009}}</ref>

Because Garner could not write down his musical ideas, he used to record them on tape, to be later transcribed by others.<ref>''Erroll Garner – Piano Solos Book 2'', M.H. Goldsen, Criterion Music Corp, 1957. Preface.</ref>

The Erroll Garner Club was founded in 1982 in Aberlady, Scotland. On September 26, 1992, Garnerphiles from England, Scotland, Germany and the US met in London for a unique and historic get-together. The guests of honour were Eddie Calhoun (bassist) and Kelly Martin (drummer), Garner's rhythm section from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s. On June 15, 1996, many of the UK's Garnerphiles converged in Cheltenham for an afternoon of music, food and fun on what would have been Garner's 75th birthday. That evening, they learned of the death of jazz legend [[Ella Fitzgerald]].<ref>J.D.

In 2012 a film on Garner was released by Atticus Brady called ''No One Can Hear You Read'', which Garner used to say when asked why he had never learned to read music. Footage of the piano prodigy playing and speaking was intercut with interviews: with admirers (including [[Woody Allen]], [[Steve Allen]] and his fellow musicians [[Ahmad Jamal]], also from Pittsburgh and [[Ernest McCarty]], his bassist for many years); with family members, including his big sister Ruth Garner Moore and daughter Kim Garner; with [[George Avakian]], the producer of ''[[Concert by the Sea]]''; and with Jim Doran his biographer. The film attempts to address Garner's fall from prominence after his death, reminding viewers how popular and original he was in his day as well as why he is considered in many quarters a legend, one of the true greats of jazz.

On June 15, 2015, the estate of [[Martha Farkas Glaser|Martha Glaser]], Garner's longtime manager, announced the formation of the Erroll Garner Jazz Project, a major new archival and musical celebration of Garner. The project includes the donation of the [[Erroll Garner Archive]]—a huge trove of newly discovered historical material from Garner's life—to the University of Pittsburgh.<ref>{{cite news|last=Niederberger |first=Mary |url=http://www.post-gazette.com/local/city/2015/06/15/Jazz-musician-Erroll-Garner-donates-materials-to-Pitt-library/stories/201506150062 |title=Jazz musician Erroll Garner's materials donated to Pitt library |newspaper=[[Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]]|date=June 15, 2015 |access-date=September 2, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/20/arts/music/erroll-garners-concert-by-the-sea-gets-a-new-sound.html|title=Erroll Garner's 'Concert by the Sea' Gets a New Sound|first=Nate|last=Chinen|date=September 16, 2015|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref>

On July 13, 2018, a live concert recording of Garner playing in 1964 at the [[Concertgebouw, Amsterdam|Concertgebouw]] in the Netherlands was released by Mack Avenue Records with the title ''Nightconcert.''<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/jul/29/erroll-garner-nightconcert-review-live-amsterdam-concertgebouw-1964|title=Erroll Garner: Nightconcert review – dizzying jazz talent, live in 1964|last=Gelly|first=Dave|date=2018-07-29|newspaper=[[The Observer]]|access-date=2019-02-13|language=en-GB|issn=0029-7712}}</ref>

Garner was posthumously featured on the track "All Night Parking" with [[Adele]] on her fourth studio album, ''[[30 (album)|30]]'' (2021). The song is built around a sample of [[Joey Pecoraro]]'s "Finding Parking" (2017), which in turn samples Garner's 1964 live performance of his song "No More Shadows" on the BBC television program ''[[Jazz 625]]''.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Chinen |first=Nate |date=2021-11-19 |title=The jazz dalliance on Adele's '30' runs deeper than a sampled groove |url=https://www.npr.org/2021/11/19/1057381765/the-jazz-dalliance-on-adeles-30-runs-deeper-than-a-sampled-groove |access-date=2025-01-08 |work=[[NPR]]}}</ref>
