About this Record: One of the earliest and most delightful Erroll Garner albums to collect, Garnering was released on EmArcy Records in 1955, drawing on studio sessions recorded in New York in 1949 and 1950. 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.
