Video of the Week #93

I hope this video will serve as a reminder of what a great pianist Erroll Garner was. This 35-min set is from a 1964 European tour. He is accompanied by Eddie Calhoun on bass and Kelly Martin on drums. Although I only recognized about half of these songs by name, fortunately someone has published a playlist:

  • Honeysuckle Rose
  • No More Shadows
  • Mambo Erroll
  • Penthouse Serenade
  • Jeannine (I Dream of Lilac Time)
  • Medley:  On the Street Where You Live/I Could Have Danced All Night
  • All Yours
  • The Lady is a Tramp
  • Erroll's Theme


If you'd like to see and hear more, there's another Garner video from this same time period that runs slightly over an hour. It includes his signature tune, "Misty." Because it combines footage from two concerts, some of the songs are repeated.
