Winner, Best Documentary, 2012 Monarch Film Festival
Synopsis ( by First One Features)
In a triumphant career that lasted forty years, Erroll Garner pushed the playability of the piano to its limits, developed an international reputation, and made an indelible mark on the jazz world. And yet, his story has never been told until filmmaker Atticus Brady took on this task.
Brady’s film explores Erroll's childhood in Pittsburgh; his meteoric rise in popularity while playing on 52nd street – NYC’s famed jazz epicenter. The film also looks at the origins of his most famous album (Concert by the Sea) and his most famous composition (Misty); his singular, virtuosic piano style; and his dynamic personality, both on and off the stage.
