Originally recorded by Philips in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, only eight of the 16 tracks presented here have ever been released, and then only on a heavily edited European LP. So in effect here is a completely new, and full-length, Garner concert as far as British and American listeners are concerned, by the same trio as the much-acclaimed Concert By The Sea. And much as the Erroll Garner Jazz Project, using the pianist's personal archive, has already released a full edition of that Carmel concert and the studio album Ready Take One, this sees a further step towards making his hitherto unknown work available. The earlier project in which Telarc collaborated with Garner's former manager Martha Glaser to reissue the bulk of his previously released albums complements these new issues much as, say, the official Riverside and Verve Bill Evans releases are enriched by the recent string of Resonance albums. So, the good things first. Here is a vintage Garner performance, with his rhapsodic and occasionally whimsical introductions leading, generally, into well-worn standards that, as they begin, draw shouts of appreciation and applause from the crowd. In three instances, rather than standards, there are Garner originals that are not so familiar, but receive the same hardswinging attack and occasionally transformational treatment. The interplay between the trio members is as telepathic as ever, not least in the way they slide easily into a groove after some fairly way-out introductions: nowhere better than a propulsive version of ‘Cheek to Cheek’. On the debit side, and this probably explains why the material wasn't fully released at the time, it is unforgiveable of the leading Dutch concert hall of the day to supply a piano that was so woefully out of tune (something that is not mentioned in the liner note's encomiums of praise). Some pieces, depending on the key in which they are written, fare better than others, but the opening notes of the first number have all the hallmarks that make this a three star, rather than a four star, recording, from individual notes that are marginally flat to the seriously howling octaves at the top of the instrument. So, its a release that's great to have for Garner fans and scholars, but an occasionally painful listen for those of us to whom tuning matters.
