    More people should talk about Erroll Garner. Whether you love the song or not, people only seem to remember Erroll Garner for "Misty."

    He was MUCH more than the writer of a hit ballad. Everything Garner did was swinging. He played funk and latin grooves like no one else:



    Listen to how he plays "I Got Rhythm"



    The way Erroll Garner does 4 to floor. I love Freddie Green's original feel and concept, but MAN... listen to how Erroll plays 4 to the floor with that jab on the "and" of 3. Perfect. I want to steal that feel for my own comping.



    Erroll deserves more respect even from jazz pianists... He had so much to teach just by listening to his playing

    That’s correct. Metronomic accuracy = good swing feel. IT’S A SCIENTIFIC FACT.

    That’s what I was told and anyone disagreeing with this is stupid.

    It’s such a shame so much jazz from 1920-1980 doesn’t swing at all. Just think what they could have achieved with DAW’s. They could have been as funky as Snarky Puppy.

    We should go back and quantise it. Do humanity a favour.

    I'm probably just old, but if one more person tells me how "funky" Snarky Puppy or Vulfpeck is...
