How wonderful! but... just look at the faces of the audience at the end, Very little applause. This is because in those days only the BBC staff and their families could get into the studio to watch. They were at 'Stuck up crowd and very snobby' very few of them were true jazz fans. The BBC did a whole series of Jazz 625 during the 1960's with a host of terrific performers week after week, but the selective audience did not add anything to the atmosphere....same thing happened to Jimmy Smith the great Organist,,,,,you can see his facial reaction to the audience after his first number.9 years ago

Podemos escuchar "Laura" en mil y una versiones. Es una inspiración para muchos músicos, como lo fue para Errol Garner que nos dejó esta barroca, llena de oleadas emocionales, de alternancias entre momentos de sencillez y densidad. Disfrútala!9 years ago

Just compare this version of "Laura" with another, more famous, recorded for Columbia some years before: they are totally different in terms of mood and phrasing. Garner did not know to read music, and he was famous about never repeating the performance of a given song; sometimes he played a same tune on a totally different key on consecutive nights, only because he didn't care about these. A truly instinctive genius.9 years ago

I'll listen to Jazz over rap music any day. Black men were dignified back then. Unlike the thugs of this generation in the music industry. 9 years ago
