Great article! Erroll Garner is definitely my favorite jazz pianist, I think he definitely deserves some more love in Jazz history. The dude couldn't read music and was improvising stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLLWN9x3Yis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLLWN9x3Yis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OCJgP7_-fE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OCJgP7_-fE Edit: Erroll Garner's story is a great one if anyone wants to take a read: I just find it funny, I was studying some of these piano transcriptions and I SERIOUSLY was disgusted at the stuff he was able to play. Like, one has to wonder if Erroll actually had 3 hands at some points, while practicing these masterpieces... Interestingly enough he was a short man... How on earth did he play some of these things?!? "Short in stature (5 ft 2 in), Garner performed sitting on multiple telephone directories." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erroll_Garner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erroll_Garner
