EARLY IN PARIS
by Erroll Garner
Pianist legend Erroll Garner's Paris recordings from 1948 are treasures by a pianist with immense class and joyful playing. His romantically leaning style extends to expressions with a witty sense of humor, experimental key-changing treatment of Broadway songs, and considerable direction as a contrasting composer featuring odd melodic and harmonic solutions while staying firm with the traditional stride. One year before this recording, Garner performed on Charlie Parker's famous Cool Blues recording, a Bebop context which many would have considered a point to adhere to the "rules" of Bebop. Garner, however, prints his usual sound on that celebrated 1947 recording, complementing Parker's sound with a unique integrity by staying true to his direction. Later in life, Garner often preferred to play with a trio, but whether in a solo or a trio setting, his style always remained the same; a reliable, entertaining, artistic and warm piano sound.
