Search - Erroll Garner :: Moonglow

Erroll bridged the gap between stride and straight ahead styles. Often identified as a stride player, his right hand had the trappings of modernity, elements of Cole and Wilson delineations...He was one of our greatest anomalies, with hands barely reaching an octave, he came to define a media filled with technical prowess on his own terms. His style might best be described as orchestral as his creations often maintained the energy and diversity of an entire band...held up on a foundation of unka chunka.
