Erroll Garner

Day 89
#35 – Erroll Louis Garner (1923–1977). American jazz pianist and composer known for his swing playing and ballads. Albums include: Concert by the Sea (1955), Contrasts (1955) with his best-known composition ‘Misty’ and The Most Happy Piano (1956).

Whilst sketching out his name I realised his initials were ‘eg’. So I used this as the start of a list of his recordings. Putting this on the right edge suggested the edge of a long list and was more unusual.
