About this Record: What a title — and what an album! Released on Columbia Records in 1955, Gone-Garner-Gonest is Erroll Garner in full, glorious flight, delivering a magnificent set of standards including I Can't Get Started, Yesterdays, Lullaby In Rhythm, and Bewitched. His unclassifiable piano style — simultaneously rooted in swing and open to modern jazz — is utterly compelling throughout. Garner had the remarkable ability to record three albums in a single day, all in colourful first takes, and the spontaneous energy and invention that characterises this album makes it feel like a live, in-the-moment experience every time the needle drops.
