Product Details

Erroll Garner never learned to read music, yet he became one of the most harmonically adventurous pianists jazz ever produced, famous for that signature left-hand "stride delay" that made every performance feel like it was swinging just slightly ahead of gravity. Recorded just a few years before his death in 1977, *Magician* captures an artist at full creative command, the same restless inventiveness that made "Misty" a standard still burning bright.

Digitally remastered edition. The selections Garner committed to tape in the fall of 1973 include what may be some of his best original compositions, alongside a series of timeless contemporary takes on American Songbook classics. Though it would turn out to be the final studio album of his life, it makes clear that Garner was continuing to innovate on his distinctly individualistic style, and surely would have for decades to come.
