Description
LIMITED EDITION 6-PANEL DIGIPAK + COMPREHENSIVE INSIDE BOOKLET
Presented here is the complete original Erroll Garner album Concert by the Sea (Columbia CL-883), which marked the pianist's best-selling record ever. There was actually no official plan to record the concert. The release came about because Garner's personal manager, Martha Glaser, spotted that a tape recorder was running backstage and decided to use the tape, a tape originally intended for broadcast by the Armed Forces Radio Network. Included in this superb package are ten bonus tracks from the same period and with the same trio members.
ERROLL GARNER, piano
EDDIE CALHOUN, bass
DENZIL BEST, drums
Live in Carmel, California, September 19, 1955.
AllMusic "Concert by the Sea is certainly one of the biggest albums in jazz history, selling over 225,000 copies in the first year after its 1956 release and turning into such a steady seller over the next few years, it reportedly brought Columbia Records a million dollars by 1958 - a nice sum at any time but astronomical in the late '50s. It should've turned Erroll Garner into a full-fledged superstar and, in a way, it did." (Stephen Thomas Erlewine)

Description
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.
