From 2015. This is a beautifully presented large format 3-CD set issued 60 years on from the original concert recorded in Carmel, California. Note the new cover, which features a black model instead of the white model used on the original album.

There are lots of unreleased tracks adding to the original release now digitally restored and remastered. Featuring pianist Erroll Garner with bassist Eddie Calhoun and drummer Denzil Best there’s a huge playfulness to the trio and of course a great sweeping romanticism that I suppose speaks much of the heart of jazz of the time and digs deep to the heart of the old school jazz piano trio tradition. Beginning with announcer Jimmy Lyons and the sound of the audience, two previously unreleased tracks ‘Night and Day’ and ‘Spring Is Here’ follow with plenty more unreleased tracks dotted around to come.

The third disc includes a post-concert interview with the trio, again previously unreleased. Above all there’s so much warmth to the performances and sheer beef to the playing – the great sound in places will poke your eye out – the audience responding with delight to ‘I’ll Remember April’ for instance early on, the sheer exuberance of Garner, galloping Oscar Peterson-like at the keys, bass and drums panting to keep up given the sheer lick he takes on some of the faster material drawing you in to the sheer excitement of the whole experience.
