When practicing drums to a Garner record in my bedroom, my Dad would say, "try to stay with him but don't get in his way."

This has got to be the most Humble Bassist on our planet. What an amazing articulate interview. Amazing

At least on you tube we and future generations can see this giant of the piano

A gift from God, the gift that he had,

That "other bass player" was Eddie Calhoun who was with Erroll for over 35+ years!! Acknowledge his name, he was/is great in his own right!

I see a young kid having lots of fun when Erroll plays the piano. There is nothing but the joy of fun on his face.

Thank you, Earnest McCarty. A beautiful tribute.

this is the level where you become more fluent in music language than your primary human language

Garner was an organic force of nature...which could never be categorized or defined by critics.

No, this man is NOT forgotten, thankfully.

LEGENDARY, Ernest McCarty, bassist makes this excursion so FASCINATING       ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

My mother being a pianist would have every album recording she could get her hands on.    I thought she was married to this cat.  Thanks mom.

14:52 (looks at the audience) "Watch me mess with this cat..."

Killing me lol

Never saw anybody more genuinely happy and surprised  playing an instrument.Impressive.

My Dad was a huge EG fan and I grew up listening to him. Now I am a fan.

This is a fascinating interview. Ernest McCarty is so eloquent.

Playing those elaborate intros while the bassist listened befuddled; I swear he had a playful mischievous look on his face that seemed to say, “catch this if you can”.

i love it every time when he changes keys and looks at the crowd like "watch my crew try to figure out this one"

I can see why Dudley Moore had a fascination in Garner's playing and he mimicked him admirably, but there was only one Erroll Garner!!..Pure genius!!!!

One could get the impression that the accompanying musicians were a gravitational impediment to Mr. Garner's weightless journeys over the keyboard.
