===Archive and newly discovered material=== [[File:Erroll Garner exhibit at the University of Pittsburgh.jpg|thumb|right|An exhibit in the University of Pittsburgh's William Pitt Union from the [[Erroll Garner Archives]]]] 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]]βa huge trove of newly discovered historical material from Garner's lifeβto 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 September 18, 2015, ''Concert by the Sea'' was re-released by Sony Legacy in an expanded, three-CD edition that adds 11 previously unreleased tracks.
