THE COMPLETE CONCERT BY THE SEA - ERROLL GARNER (Columbia/Legacy) 3CD RECORDED LIVE IN CARMEL, CALIFORNIA, 19th SEPTEMBER 1955 with Erroll Garner (piano), Denzil DeCosta Best (drums), Eddie Calhoun (bass) CD 1 & 2 - The Complete Concert By The Sea CD 3 - Concert By The Sea (Original LP/CD edited edition). Tagged on at the end of this disc is an extra 14 minutes plus interview courtesy of the Monterey Jazz Festival Archive with Will Thornbury talking to Erroll Garner, Denzil DeCosta Best & Eddie Calhoun just after their concert performance. All CDs remastered by Jessica Thompson. Everything packaged in a four way folded cardboard sleeve (which has a larger face size than normal CDs). The three discs are housed inside in slots/pockets that open toward the left hand side. There's a quality 24 page glossy booklet included. I find myself appreciating this release much more now than I did at the time of release (2015).

The first track was recorded in late '69, with the others recorded November 9, 1971 and April 4, 1972. Bradford with a couple of compositions here while the rest are from Carter, who plays brilliantly - as does Bradford for that matter. The later tracks on this disc are actually a bit groove-oriented which was surprising.

I bought this on Labor Day at a big garage sale full of records. There were a lot of promo things (someone worked in radio I assume?) but mostly rock stuff... I've only listened once but good first impression. Stand out track was Dollar Brand's "tintiyana", a kind of African 3 against 4 jam. Also the Thad Jones songs are great. Excited to listen again tonight. w Hank Mobley Thad Jones Dollar Brand Donald Moore
