Erroll Garner - Concert By The Sea

THE COMPLETE LP + BONUS TRACK - 180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL - LIMITED EDITION. The complete original Erroll Garner LP Concert by the Sea,plus the addition of his mostfamous composition, Misty;a composition (with added lyrics) that later became a huge international hit for singer Johnny Mathis.

There was no actual plan to record the concert for release, but because Garner's manager Martha Glaser spotted a tape machine running backstage for the Armed Forces Radio Network, she decided to use the tape for commercial use. Glaser later played the tape to the head of Columbia Records' jazz division, George Avakian, who immediately decided to release it. As a result, it became Garner's most successful LP with over a million dollars' worth of confirmed retail sales.
