Erroll Garner: For once in my life



Erroll Garner is a jazz musician that I haven't listened to a lot, but after seeing this incredible performance of the song "For once in my life" by Erroll Garner from 1972 I really must seek out more music by him.

He certainly got a piano playing style like no one else I've heard. It's like a summer rain falling down on a tin roof, where each rain drop makes a distinct sound, and then, suddenly, *BAM!*, lightning strikes.

Do you have any tips what Erroll Garner recordings I should check out? Perferably uptempo stuff like this.

What do you think of this video clip with Erroll Garner playing "For once in my life"? Please comment.
