Erroll Garner was one of the savants of jazz who helped define the sound and style of his instrument without ever learning to read music.

This clip comes from the second of Garner's appearances on Jazz 625 , repeated on BBC2 in 1985, and recorded by me on a JVC E-180, which I treasured until I found a DVD of both shows on sale in New York a few years...
Hal Weary, A Rendezvous with Deja Vu (halwearyjazz). Weary is a pianist from the west on the rise in New York City. The quintet numbers on his debut CD draw on the hard-bop/gospel spirit of Horace Silver and Art Blakey. On "Tenderly," he touches on but soon departs from Erroll Garner. Unaccompanied on "Praise Medley" he seems to refer to the Ellington of "Reflections in D."...

This was superb fun with an eclectic mix of pieces including Brice’s clever arrangement of Erroll Garner’s ‘Misty’, Taps in Tempo by Jan Berenska, and Keiko...
