Erroll Garner - Yesterdays
Review by José Andrés Nápoli
Erroll Garner's album Yesterdays is a timeless classic that showcases the pianist's incredible talent and versatility. The album features a collection of jazz standards, including the title track "Yesterdays," which Garner infuses with his signature style and improvisational flair.
From the opening notes of "Stella by Starlight" to the lively rendition of "Indiana," Garner's playing is both energetic and deeply soulful. His ability to seamlessly transition between different tempos and moods is particularly impressive, as evidenced by the hauntingly beautiful "Body and Soul" and the upbeat "Night and Day."
What sets Yesterdays apart from other jazz albums is Garner's ability to infuse each track with his own unique personality. His playful sense of humor shines through on "Teach Me Tonight," while his romantic side is on full display in the dreamy "I Cover the Waterfront."
