Jazz / Bop; Swing
Telarc presents the newest Garner double feature. First, Erroll Garner, the rugged individualist of contemporary piano, improvises with his rhythm section on twelve immortal songs from the films of the 40s and 50s. Garner tops off these works, rarely included in jazz repertoires, with his intriguing introductions and fascinating codas.
On Up in Erroll's Room - The Brass Bed Garner's imaginative improvised performances make these standards sound new. The added energy of the brass and reeds on these selections brings an exciting dimension and texture to Garner's exuberant swing.
