Errol Garner Nightconcert (2lp)

ERROLL GARNER

Following the incredible rediscovery of jazz pianist Erroll Garner through the release of The Complete Concert By The Sea and Ready Take One, Octave Music, in partnership with Mack Avenue Records, will next issue Nightconcert, a newly-restored live performance from the Garner archives, recorded at the height of his 1964 sold-out European tour. Nightconcert (from the Dutch Nachtconcert) is a midnight jazz performance held at The Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, one of the premiere concert halls in the world. Recorded on November 7, 1964, it features Garner with his classic trio (bassist Eddie Calhoun and drummer Kelly Martin) performing to a packed house of 2,000 enraptured fans. The audience witnessed a blistering set featuring the group’s unique take on classics from The Great American Songbook, as well as three originals by Garner: “Theme From A New Kind of Love (All Yours),” “No More Shadows” and a new composition titled “That Amsterdam Swing.” Nightconcert will continue to remind music fans of Erroll Garner’s singular talents as a pianist, composer, and showman.
