Recorded in 1978 for Concord Jazz, this wonderful trio set captures Cal Collins in relaxed, inspired form alongside bassist Monty Budwig and drummer Jeff Hamilton. Collins was a self-taught guitarist who learned his art on the streets and farms of Indiana before becoming Benny Goodman's guitarist in 1976, and his straight-ahead bop playing with deep swing-era roots is an absolute delight. Highlights include Miles Davis's Blue Haze, Miles' Theme, Sometimes I'm Happy, and a lovely reading of So What. Effortlessly swinging, deeply musical, and hugely enjoyable.

About this Record: Bittersweet and absolutely beautiful, Campus Concert holds the distinction of being the final live album Erroll Garner released during his lifetime! Released on MGM Records in 1966 and recorded in 1962, it features the pianist in wonderful form, accompanied by his classic trio and performing for an enthusiastic audience of mostly young fans. Eight jazz standards plus one original make up a programme delivered with Garner's trademark combination of swing-era grandeur and bebop awareness. His ability to sit at the piano and play magnificently without ever reading a note of music was a genuine marvel — and this record proves it gloriously.

Accompanied by bassist John Simmons and drummer Harold 'Doc' West, Garner treats a varied programme — including Deep Purple, Lazy River, Jitterbug Waltz, and the playfully mischievous Scatterbrain — to his signature orchestral, swing-drenched piano style. Every track is freshly minted and completely alive, a testament to the fact that Garner, as one admirer famously noted, never recorded an uninspired solo in his entire career.

Drawn from his acclaimed mid-1950s recordings, it showcases the multi-talented saxophonist and flautist in a variety of inspired settings — from hard-driving bebop septet workouts to soulful small-group swing. His exuberance, his deep musicality, and his ability to tell a story whether on tenor, alto, or flute are all brilliantly on display. As one reviewer perfectly put it, this is a record that captures what makes Moody so wonderful — a player full of soul, thoughtfulness, and sheer joy in every single note.
