Ray Brown, Jimmy Rowles - As Good As It Gets (CJ-66)
The title says it all! This 1978 Concord Jazz gem pairs two of the most gifted musicians in jazz — bassist Ray Brown and pianist Jimmy Rowles — in a beautifully intimate duo setting recorded at Coast Recorders in San Francisco. With no drums or other instruments to crowd the picture, every note rings out with exceptional clarity and emotional depth. The programme is a dream — Sophisticated Lady, Alone Together, Manha De Carnaval, and Who Cares among them — and the interplay between Brown's magnificent bass lines and Rowles' sophisticated, lyrical piano is nothing short of magical. A truly essential Concord Jazz recording.

What a warm, swinging gem from Concord Jazz!

Erroll Garner - Campus Concert (SE4361)
Bittersweet and absolutely beautiful, Campus Concert holds the distinction of being the final live album Erroll Garner released during his lifetime! Released on MGM Records in 1966 and recorded in 1962, it features the pianist in wonderful form, accompanied by his classic trio and performing for an enthusiastic audience of mostly young fans. Eight jazz standards plus one original make up a programme delivered with Garner's trademark combination of swing-era grandeur and bebop awareness. His ability to sit at the piano and play magnificently without ever reading a note of music was a genuine marvel — and this record proves it gloriously.

Erroll Garner - Garnering (MG 36026)
One of the earliest and most delightful Erroll Garner albums to collect, Garnering was released on EmArcy Records in 1955, drawing on studio sessions recorded in New York in 1949 and 1950. Accompanied by bassist John Simmons and drummer Harold 'Doc' West, Garner treats a varied programme — including Deep Purple, Lazy River, Jitterbug Waltz, and the playfully mischievous Scatterbrain — to his signature orchestral, swing-drenched piano style. Every track is freshly minted and completely alive, a testament to the fact that Garner, as one admirer famously noted, never recorded an uninspired solo in his entire career.

Nobody sounded quite like Erroll, and nobody ever will. His playful invention, exuberant swing, and sheer delight in music leap off the vinyl with every single track. A brilliant introduction and a warm reminder of an incomparable talent.

As one reviewer perfectly put it, this is a record that captures what makes Moody so wonderful — a player full of soul, thoughtfulness, and sheer joy in every single note.
