Concert by the Sea

Erroll Garner - "Concert by the Sea" (1956) - Columbia Records

Hello Friends,

All-time classic Jazz LP on the turntable tonight.

Erroll Garner's famous live concert performance at the Sunset Arts Center in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, featuring Garner on piano (and groans) with Eddie Calhoun on bass & Denzil Best on drums.

Opening with a rollicking version of "I'll Remember April", the album also contains great versions of standards like "Teach Me Tonight", "Autumn Leaves", "It's All Right With Me", "April in Paris", "They Can't Take That Away From Me", "Where or When" and lesser known pieces like Lionel Hampton's "Red Top" and Tyree Glenn's "How Can You Do A Thing Like That To Me?"  

There's also two Garner originals, "Mambo Carmel" and the 50 second "Erroll's Theme" to end the record.

Its a rainy Saturday night tonight and this hopped up Vince Guaraldi music is the perfect mood setter for the tiki bar.

RATING: 5 how can you do a thing like that to me out of 5
