Piano-Based Combo-Mambo Anyone?? ;)
As the title suggests, this is a collection of tracks done with a mambo feel, in the classic Erroll Garner style. If you're a real Garner fan (like me), you'll probably enjoy it very much. If you're not into the mambo thing, you might have a take-it-or-leave-it attitude towards it. Nevertheless, still a very good disc. It has 2 bonus tracks, has also been digitally remastered, and sounds quite good. Check it out, especially all you budding pianists... Garner is the real deal!
Good Latin Based Trio Outing
Most of the important stuff was stated in the preceding review.
I just wanted to say that I've never heard a bad tune by this man! He could take the most innocuous tune and grab your interest with his rendition. Most everything that he recorded was done in a single take............not too many artists can make that claim. He also couldn't read music but was blessed with an uncanny ear and a feel for the melody. While he improvised well, you will note that he never strayed too far from the melody so that you never are in doubt as to what is being played......some of his intros were another matter. His unique style probably is what made him the first solo artist that I became aware of in my youth (I started out as a big band fan).
I think you will like the CD whether or not you like mambo, simply because of the piano talent. If he was not one of the top pianists of all times, it wouldn't take long to call the roll.
