Erroll Garner - Concert By The Sea

Facts 180-Gram Vinyl Limited Edition. The complete original Erroll Garner album Concert by the Sea, which marked the pianist's best-selling record ever. The album was taped on September 19, 1955 in the gothic-revivalist styled assembly hall of Sunset School (now Sunset Arts Center) in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. Accompanying Garner were bassist Eddie Calhoun and drummer Denzil Best. There was no plan to record the concert officially. The release came about because Garner's personal manager, Martha Glaser, spotted that a tape recorder was running backstage and decided to use the tape, originally intended for the Armed Forces Radio Network. Glaser took the tape, put it into album form, and then played it for the head of Columbia Records' jazz division, George Avakian, who decided to release it.
