(a one minute listen, unless you want to go further)
This is one short segment from a fascinating video that reveals the gobsmacking depth of Errol Garnerโs genius, but also his sense of humor - messing with his own group, on stage . Take just over one minute and listen from the point of entry (at just over the 14-mnute mark) to this video and observe at 15:29 how Garner segues to the most glorious chordal resolution and goes on to full entry into the tune over the next 10 seconds. Uncanny!
I went on to watch the whole video and came away every more inpressed with Garner than prior. The man was a pure, raw genius on the piano - almost a scant-like ability to do anything he wanted; to project anything he heard in his head onto the ivories.
One of my favorite live Garner tunes - exuding pure joy and completel mastery - the inventiveness and swing that this man brought to his instrument was gobsmacking.
