Erroll Garner
Amoeba Review
07/21/2020
The continued reissue renaissance of jazz pianist Erroll Garner hits an exceptionally bright spot with Nightconcert. Recorded 55 years ago at a midnight show in Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw, the album is not only an engaging document of Garner's talent and synchronicity with bassist Eddie Calhoun and drummer Kelly Martin, but it's also one of those rare jazz releases that satisfies a large audience of varying inclinations. Garnerphile? Newbie? Casual listener? All will find something to savor with repeated spins of Nightconcert.
