Erroll Garner: The Most Happy Piano
'57 Release. Original US Columbia 6 eye issue. Mono.
Very happy.
In the hands of these three, the combination of trumpet, accordion and piano produces a quite magical sound – gentle, beguilingly tuneful and slightly melancholy.

Kuma, you're digging up some cool stuff.
Best Band Of All TimeMiles.
Go get the Most Happy Piano!
It's GREAT!
Damn.. he's gooooooood.
"Erroll's definitive style however, was unique and had neither obvious forerunners nor competent imitators although, at an amateur level, more players attempted to imitate him than any other pianist in jazz history. A key factor in his sound was the independence of his hands.
Garner would often play behind or ahead of the beat with his right hand while his springy left had rocked steady, creating insouciance and tension in the music, which he would resolve by bringing the timing back into sync. The independence of his hands also was evidenced by his masterful use of three against four figures and more complicated cross rhythms between the hands. He also would play introductions to pieces that sometimes utilized cacophonous or just weird sounds unrelated to the number, but which produced a sense of excitement in the audience not knowing what he was up to. Whether in ultra slow ballads or rollicking up-tempo improvisation, this never failed to convey a humorous and titillating attitude to both the material at hand and the audience. One of the most important aspects of his style of improvisation was that it generally stayed close to the melodic theme and the novelty lay in voicings." ( from Wikipidia )
