Concert by the Sea (1955)

Recorded on 19 September 1955 in an old military hall in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, this recording captures pure unadulterated joy. Pianist Erroll Garner, who could not read sheet music, improvises whimsical, teasing orchestral introductions that keep his bassist and drummer guessing until he suddenly drops into an infectious, delayed-left-hand swing.
