Pittsburgh born Erroll Garner was one of the most commercially successful jazz pianists of the 1950s. His only UK album chart entry came with Close Up In Swing. (UK:20)
“If you are a newcomer, this is a perfect piece of Garner's trio work. His compositional skills are clearly represented here, as nearly half the tracks are originals.”
“Close Up In Swing features Erroll at his hard swinging best. Buy it, it's joyous.”
“Showcases pianist Erroll Garner in typically brilliant and witty form with his 1961 trio, which also included bassist Eddie Calhoun and drummer Kelly Martin. Whether it be a sly My Silent Love, All Of Me or a joyful Back In Your Own Backyard, Garner is heard throughout in his prime.”
“The overall results are quite memorable, which is not a surprise, for Erroll Garner always seemed incapable of playing an uninspired or indifferent solo.”
